Am I the only one who got into a full-blown argument over the ending of 'The Silent Patient' at my book club last week?

We were at my friend's place in Austin, and when I said the twist felt cheap and unearned, Sarah literally threw her copy across the room and said, 'You just don't get unreliable narrators,' which led to a 20-minute debate about fair play in mysteries.

Yeah, we had to ban wine for a month after our fight about "The Woman in the Window." Karen said the main character was just annoying, not traumatized, and it got way too personal.

Oh man, my book club still won't let me pick the books after my 'Gone Girl' take.
