A review by kromozome
The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

4.0

I rarely remember the first sentences from a book, but I know I will never forget this one. It was such an excellent short story, something you would expect from Gillian Flynn but it lacked in a lot of ways. It had a solid start, great setup and a compelling protagonist. I was extremely excited as to where the story would go and loved it until I got to the end. The end is what made it lacking. It was underwhelming. Maybe it would be better if it had ended earlier or differently. But its a short story so perhaps I am expecting too much still a solidly enjoyable story.
Recommend it to anyone who likes a short horror read and a great copypasta.
