The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

3.0

---

This story takes a couple of interesting turns, and unlike many other reviewers I liked the open ending. My biggest frustration with the narration is that it relies on some really tired and shitty stereotypes about sex workers (for example that they’re lazy and deceptive). It seeeems like Flynn was trying to give us a different kind of sex worker character, but it’s a real miss. Sex work is work, and I’d love to see a story with a sex worker protagonist whose not either victimized or victimizer.
