Book Club for Introverts discussion

Let's discuss!

The fact that Christian is Dr. West is either an unacceptable coincidence or there’s more to him than we know. How did he end up where she ended up after the trial? I do not like him at all.

Oops... forgot ch 5. Theo is annoying me. Who wants to watch and listen to your spouse cheating on you? He’s deluding himself. Killing the man will just force her to find someone else. He’s a mess. How can he help Alicia when he can’t even help himself?

Theo seems to be following in Alicia’s footsteps. He’s pissing everyone off. First Jen-Felix, then Max and then Paul, though Paul doesn’t get mad, he gives Theo the key.

I forgot how big Paul is... maybe he was the stalker.

I was wrong about Vernon. He didn’t abuse Alicia, he just didn’t love her.

What is Alicia going to say??? I still have no clue what happened and who did what.

Theo, Christian, Max, Jean-Felix, Paul - there are a lot of unlikeable characters at this point.

Theo is losing it in his personal life. I wish he would go talk to Ruth again. I do understand him wanting to confirm with his own eyes/ears that Kathy is cheating. Sometimes you need to see it to move past the denial.

Yes, and I guess this makes sense as to why he was disappointed when Kathy was really just meeting a friend a few chapters ago when he followed her. He knew she was cheating and needed the confirmation.

It made me even sadder for Alicia, hearing Christian dismiss her suspicions of being watched by the man. It also made me very, very leery of Gabriel. Gabriel set her up on cash payment with his buddy, which makes me think he needed some control over the situation and what was going to be said in their sessions. Super shady dealings, for sure.

The excerpt of Kathy meeting her lover really made my stomach turn for all parties involved. As if Theo wasn't already coming unraveled, this will really put him over the edge, I'm afraid.

What kind of psychiatrist takes cash under the table from the husband of his “patient”? I still think He and Gabriel were conspiring to make Alicia look crazy.
