Alex Michaelides: The Master of Making You Love, Doubt, and Despise His Characters—All at Once

I am a new reader, I don't know whether I am correct or not but. Oh my god, Alex Michaelides—what a writer you are! Absolutely brilliant. The two books of yours (The Fury & The silent Patient) that I’ve read left me in awe. You have this rare gift—making the reader fall in love with a character, doubt them, despise them, and then, somehow, love them all over again. If there’s one truth your stories have etched into my mind, it’s this: No one in this world reveals their true self. Every soul is a performer, playing their part to satisfy the gaze of others.
