5 STARS
This is a short story, people! Don’t get your panties in a twist saying you don’t understand such a short weird novel. Yes, it’s short! Yes, it’s weird and dark. HELLERRRRRR...it’s Gillian Flynn 😍😍
If the old Twilight tv show and the lovely Black Mirror series were shaken and stirred..... well, you would have this itty bitty book to drive you crazy.
I love a great short story, typically they concentrate on creating a mood, rather than a plot. Flynn does not disappoint with The Grownup. It’s funny, sarcastic and witty. And readable in 45 minutes! If you’re aching for Flynn’s next blockbuster novel, this baby should help tide the cravings. It can also help you meet your GR reading goal😂

I liked this one too!
I just noticed you rated it 2 stars but the review says 5. This was a 5-star story for me. Gillian Flynn always delivers 🙌❤️

haha grrrr! I wrote my quickie review from my iPad, Carol! I couldn't get it to accept any stars, but thanks to you I saw it gave it 2.....NO! definitely a 5 star for me, too! Actually loved it and think I will read it again :-)
Loved it. Gillian Flynn can't seem to put a foot wrong (IMO).I just ordered a true crime book that comes out in feb, now I'm even more excited to get it because I realised Gillian wrote a foreword for it. 😍
Great review. Sounds like a trip.
So glad you loved this! It's such a quick twisted little read. I'm honestly having withdrawals waiting on her to write something else.

Gillian Flynn is my spirit writing goddess! I can't say I would want to be in her brain all the time, but I sure do love the finished products she puts out.

Flynn is the psychological twist goddess, I worship her :-)
Great review! Definitely going to be bumped up my tbr pile!
Well, Jewels, you started my morning off right. Love the tone and timbre of your review. Made me smile.
