The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

3.0

Had to knock this down a few stars cuz that ending was not as satisfying as I wanted it to be. Granted, it makes narrative sense and works towards the themes of swindling others and manipulation, but I was so invested in the haunted house story that the ending didn't live up to it. Also, waaaay too much dialogue towards the end. But, I did love the main character and the writing, plus the atmosphere was top notch! I might check out other titles by this author (except Gone Girl; tried to read that, gave up after 10 pages) but I was overall pleasantly surprised by this story.
