A review by dragonlilly
The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

adventurous dark funny mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

3.0

A very fast-paced (especially at the end) short story that I found to be fun, then tense, and then a little much at the end but fun again. I enjoyed this quite a bit, especially Gillian Flynn's writing here, although all the bits at the end were kind of losing me. There's definitely some reflective moments throughout relating to people and how we interact with one another, and the whole story is essentially about manipulation, but as a whole, I was left with the feeling that this book was a fun ride after I had finished reading it.
