The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
4.0

“Empathetic silence is one of the most underused weapons in the world.”

4 stars. Wow...what...huh...how???

Wow.

My mind is blown. Gillian Flynn is a fucking genius and I think she might be a touch mad. Goodness does this woman know how to write dark, messed up stories. This was awesome. So, so awesome and I don't even know how to express how I'm feeling right now. I think the plot twist (and untwist?? I don't fucking know) was brilliant and left me on the edge of my seat. I liked the open ending quite a bit but I had to take a star because I'm selfish and I wanted this to be a full blown novel.

Overall, this was just a quick reminder of why I appreciate Gillian Flynn as a writer because she's definitely in a league of her own and I look forward to whenever she decides to grace us with more stories from her dark, twisted, brilliant little mind.
