My Thoughts
The main idea of the story is interesting. It’s about a person who gets a new heart from a girl who was killed. The first look at the main character’s interest in the person who gave and their family makes the story more interesting.
The author makes things exciting and gives a feeling of worry as the main character starts to doubt the reasons behind the donor’s death. Adding an attack on another person who had a transplant makes things more mysterious and makes everything more meaningful.
But, the way the story is told has some problems. The speed feels off, sometimes too slow and other times too fast. The character growth is insufficient because the main character’s reasons and feelings are not thoroughly looked at or told clearly.
Also, the ending seems easy to guess and could have a minor effect. The chance for a deep look at themes like who we are, feeling sorry, and the worth of another chance is only partially used.
In general, “The Patient” has a good idea and some intense parts. But it could have improved how fast it goes, making characters grow and ending things.
Thank you to Bookouture, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
