This! I was shocked when I kept hearing about how everyone thought the “twist” was so good when it was pretty much given away right at the beginning of the book! That’s honestly the main reason why I actually finished it. I figured well, if they’re giving that up right away it’s gotta be a misdirect… nope! That’s just what it was. And how did no one >!at the mental hospital think to give a world famous artist who hasn’t spoken and is apparently traumatized some freaking paints and canvases and see if maybe that sparks a breakthrough!? Seems pretty damn obvious.!< I even subjected myself to the audiobook twice just to really make sure I didn’t miss anything.
