Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky

Contains Spoilers.
I had originally seen this book as an add on for Book Of The Month subscription. I had it in my cart, but it sold out before my renewal date. So, with my case of FOMO, I snatched this up at the bookstore. So glad I did.

This is the story about Christopher, his mother, his friends, and the entire town. Christopher goes missing for 6 days and when he returns he's different. He's noticable smarter and has an imaginary friend. Now, I think we all know what is going to happen. You follow Christopher and the imaginary friend in their quest to defeat the hissing lady, who is supposedly evil. This whole ordeal turns the town into violent and sick human beings, while at the same time the imaginary world is so much worse.

This book was fantastic. While there was quite a few predictable parts (sort of hard not to be these days), it was still great. It was extremely hard for me to put down. I even wanted to risk going over my lunch break at work to read more. There were no boring parts. Even when it was a bit slower, it was filled with character development and relationships. It's been a long time since a book has made me cry like this one. It's been awhile since I found phrases that hit hard like this one. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Happy Reading!
