This 700-paged book begins when seven-year-old Christopher and his mother Kate move to a small town in Pennsylvania to escape Kate’s abusive ex-boyfriend Jerry. So part of the enjoyment for me was delving into a book very different from other books I’ve read. In fact, Imaginary Friend is a book totally outside of my ordinary-its genre could be considered horror or psychological thriller, while I typically read standard fiction. (Sidenote: and if you haven’t read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, do that too!) This one caught my eye because as a high schooler, Perks was my favorite book, and although Imaginary Friend promised to be nothing like its young adult masterpiece predecessor, I was excited to crack into it because I love Chbosky’s writing and how he tells a story. If you’ve read and loved The Perks of Being a Wallflower like I have, then the fact that Imaginary Friend is written by Stephen Chbosky may intrigue you as well.
