The twists are why we read psychological thrillers, and this twist lived up to its hype. It's the kind that makes you want to read it a second time with all of the information. There were some unresolved parts that make me wonder what will happen.

Spoilers ahead: Now that the police have the diary, will Max go to trial for rape? Why does Jean-Felix get to continue showing her work if they know she doesn't want her work there? Why is Kathy still with homeboy Theo, if she is still so depressed over Gabriel's death? Will Christian lose his license to practice psychiatry? Why did Diomedes disappear right after Alicia got injected? What will happen to Stephanie? Will Alicia ever wake up?

Overall, it was a gripping read. I lost track of time and didn't even mind.
