The Grownup

I was quite disappointed to be honest. Not sure what I was expecting from this short story but it wasn't this. The premise was really interesting, but the pacing was incredibly weird. 90% of the story is used for the setup, then the rest is an extremely rushed succession of "no, this is what actually happened". I also didn't care for the ending, I agree with other reviews that mention feeling like they were missing some pages.

The story was so twisty and engaging - but then when I got to the end I thought my book was missing pages! It just abruptly ended with no resolution or explanation? 1 Star ⭐️!
