The Grown-up - Gillian Flynn

I said before that I was excited for Gillian Flynn’s next offering and here it is, although The Grown-up is not exactly new and was originally posted in a collection of short stories under a different title.
My only main gripe with this novel is that it’s a short story, I would have loved to of read a longer, and more extended version of this story, and her writing as ever is dark, gritty and abrasive. The story-line was creepy and disturbing, however, the ending was seemed rushed, confused and I definitely wanted something a little more satisfying.

Four out of five, I seriously can’t wait for her next full length offering.
