“Imaginary Friend’ is like a mixture of “Stranger Things” series and Stephen King books. For this moment on, nothing will ever be the same. A strange phenomenon seems to be looking and listening to him, so he follows it into the wood. One day, while he’s waiting for his mum to pick him up, he notices a weird cloud in the sky. Kate Reese makes sure her son get a place in a good school even though it causes him great anxiety (he is dyslexic) because he always struggles to keep up with the class at school. That’s how they land in Mill Grove, small and unimportant town.

After his father died, he and his other constantly move from one place to another in the hope of finding a place they could call real home. I never have a problem with the novel being too long, so I wasn’t bothered at all by that aspect, on the contrary, I quite enjoyed it.Ĭhristopher Reese is a troubled eight-year-old boy.

In this aspect, the “Imaginary Friend” has a lot of similar vibes as Stephen King books (Chbosky admitted he is a huge fan of master of horror). The author tells his story slowly, showing us life in a little town of Mills Grove and its townsfolk. There are opinions that it is far too long, but I think it’s just the writing style. I was reading through it slowly, I have an eBook and physical copy, so I could get back to it wherever I was. He admitted he missed his writing and that how “Imaginary Friend” was born. In the meantime, he was working mostly as a film director and screenwriter. It was written twenty years after the release of his famous work “The Perks of Being the Wallflower”. “Imaginary Friend” is a new novel by Stephen Chbosky.
