Our club argued for an hour over the ending of 'The Silent Patient'

I was totally against the twist until Sarah pointed out the hidden flower motif in chapter 7, which I'd completely missed. Has a small detail ever flipped your view on a whole book?

Honestly, that book's twist felt cheap to me. But the flower thing? I went back and looked, and it's actually there. It doesn't save the whole ending for me, but I get it a bit more now. Makes me wonder what else I skimmed right past.

Hey @the_oliver, I actually loved that twist! The flower was a cool clue that made the ending feel earned for me. It's wild how we can read the same book so differently.
