When it's used as the entire emphasis of the story, yes. When it's progressive, and there's still a focus on the plot and other characters, I feel like it can work. Don't expect the reader to be really surprised, though. I find it as more of a feature of the narrator, as opposed to a shock ending or twist in the story. The way it's been used in many stories, though, it's been a huge cliche.
