I read this book because it was short and it would help me get to my 2023 reading goal. It was a nice, easy, quick read. Some pets were predictable, but I can’t expect too much from a short story.

Super quick read. My first one from this author and really enjoyed it. The ending wasn't my fave but everything leading up to it was pretty great. I have so many questions, but in a good way. Will def be checking out more from the author.

Flynn is one of my fave authors and

I’ve officially read all her work now!

A short and creepy horror novella making for a quick read. Interesting characters and great writing; Flynn is an expert at writing disturbing stories that make me uncomfortable. The last 5-10 pages gave me whiplash with all the plot twists!

I don’t always enjoy open endings but in the case of The Grown-Up, it works. And although I did thoroughly enjoy this one short story, I prefer Flynn’s novels (and novels in general) for more developed characters and plot. But for a 67 page story, it’s definitely one of my favorite novellas!
