The Grownup

3.5 stars.

I think it's hard to rate novellas or short stories given how brief the reading experience is with them, however I enjoyed this even with it only being 79 pages. I feel like it was just starting to get to the right point of being a bit eerie and creepy, then it remembered it was a short story and had to wrap it up. I saw the ‘plot twists' a mile off and I did not like the whole ‘let's explain everything at the end' deal but it was still okay. I think I would have liked this if it was a full length book and everything was fleshed out more.
