alltheradreads 's review for:

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
2.0

So this was a little freebie thrown into my last Book of the Month box (RIP subscription... I miss you already!) and I read it one morning in approximately 20 minutes (it's the SHORTEST book!) and just didn't like anything about it. The very first paragraph is about a sexual act that the main character does with lots of men for under the table money, so I was super uncomfortable from the very start. I kept reading purely because it's like 62 pages and I was curious, but nothing about it was likable for me. It didn't really go anywhere, didn't really have much suspense (which I expected a lot of from Flynn) and it just felt really thrown together and unfinished. Wasn't a fan at all.
