The Grownup by Gillian FlynnMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
5/5 ⭐️ Super Fun Read 🎉
Warning: You'll want more!
This little novella (60 something pages) is stunning. If you enjoyed any of Gillian Flynn's other books (I did), you'll be entertained immediately - the first few sentences had me giggling.
The mood is mysterious, rainy fateful mornings, an unnamed anti-hero, and aura readings at Spiritual Palms. Strong female characters. Twist ending.
A sequel in the form of a longer book seems possible. Either way, hopefully there'll be more from Gillian Flynn.
Thoughts: "Hahaha" "Ohhhh snap!!""Thought something was up!!" "... Oh snap again!!"
Reminded me of Dark Matter in some respects. Short, surprising, gripping, fun.
