Book* #39 in 2015

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn.

At 62 pages, it's hard to call this a book, more of a novella.  But I've read so many books that I've abandoned halfway, I figure it all evens out, so I'm counting it.

Told in the first person, I'm not sure the protagonist is even named, but this woman who makes her living on the fringes of legal activities (soft-core sex, palm reading, begging) finally falls victim to a con herself.  Or does she?

4 stars.
