Things i love:

The twist at the end. A lot of people told me they saw it coming, but I didn't. And that was what made it really good. Throughout the story while I was reading it, I always love how much the psychiatrist took care of his patient and how much he cared. It had the impression that he was passionate about his job and is very determined to CURE Alicia - which he can still be, being the killer. As a person who goes to the psychiatrist every other week, helps me kinda look into a psychiatrist's mind and what they think about during a session and that truly fascinates me.

Alicia as a character and how she developed throughout the story. In the beginning, she portrays as a confident woman in her marriage. But it saddens me how a single unknown - who the stranger was - could throw her life into spirals and how it affects her marriage, her mental and emotional health.
