My novel idea

I am writing a novel, and it's kind of got one of those "trick twists" at the end. Because you're going through it, you're reading it all the way through, you're fully engrossed and you totally think everything happening is on the level - But then! At the very end, you get thrown for the loop:

"NONE OF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED"

"NONE OF IT WAS REAL. It's a novel."

"It totally said so on the cover!" "Didn't you read the cover?" "Right under the title:"

~ a novel ~

You can bet there'd be some people pissed off about that kind of rude denouement, but next time, read the cover.
