The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
3.0

So this was my first Gillian Flynn book. I snagged it at the library because it was cute, small and looked like a quick easy read. It was all of those things. It started off really interesting. The main character was well written and I found I liked her, I understood her motives and I could appreciate her honesty.

The story went from strange to creepy and when I thought I had it all figured out I was thrown for a big loop. I was instantly more interested in the story, anticipating how this story would end... and then it ended. Very anti climactic, felt like the last five pages were just thrown together and it didn’t do anything for me.

While I liked the writing and the idea of the story (and really most of the story) the end blew it for me. I give it 3.5 stars.
