The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
2.5
mysterious fast-paced

This was a weird one…
At first I really enjoyed it. It was giving The Omen or The Boy which sucked me right it. But my the ending i felt very unfulfilled? 
Characters sort of stop coming up after a certain point and the twists seems like plot twists for the sake of plot twists rather than any other purpose.
I wish it was more of a proper “ghost story” “horror” book, like how it appears in the summary and with its dust cover, but it’s also not a long read. It doesn’t overstay its welcome.
And obviously, it’s really well written.
