Book Summary

The Grownup is a dark and twisty short story by Gillian Flynn, originally published in 2015. It follows an unnamed young woman who earns a living by pretending to read auras in a shady fortune-telling shop—while also performing other questionable side hustles. Her life takes a strange turn when she meets Susan Burke, a wealthy woman who believes her Victorian house is haunted and that her stepson, Miles, is the cause—or possibly the victim—of a sinister force.

As the narrator becomes entangled in the family's eerie dynamics, she quickly realizes that nothing is as it seems. The story is filled with psychological suspense, unreliable characters, and a chilling ambiguity that keeps readers guessing until the final line. In just under 70 pages, Flynn masterfully builds tension, blending ghost story elements with sharp psychological insight and her signature wit and cynicism.
