Young adult literature…ah what a genre. It truly owns my heart. Almost all of what I love to read falls under that category, but there are outliers. Those outliers belong here. Read on to find a book with a bit more sophistication and complex content from the adult fiction category.
Imaginary Friend
Title: Imaginary Friend
Author: Stephen Chbosky
Review: 6/10
Synopsis: We can swallow our fear or let our fear swallow us.
Single mother Kate Reese is on the run. Determined to improve life for her and her son, Christopher, she flees an abusive relationship in the middle of the night with her child. Together, they find themselves drawn to the tight-knit community of Mill Grove, Pennsylvania. It's as far off the beaten track as they can get. Just one highway in, one highway out.
At first, it seems like the perfect place to finally settle down. Then Christopher vanishes. For six long days, no one can find him. Until Christopher emerges from the woods at the edge of town, unharmed but not unchanged. He returns with a voice in his head only he can hear, with a mission only he can complete: Build a treehouse in the woods by Christmas, or his mother and everyone in the town will never be the same again.
