Book Review: Imaginary Friend by Stephan Chbosky

Synopsis: Kate Reese is a single mother fleeing an abusive relationship by starting over in a new town, with her young son Christopher. But Mill Grove, Pennsylvania, is not the safe place they thought it would be... Their world begins to unravel after Christopher vanishes into the Mission Street Woods - where 50 years earlier an eerily similar disappearance occurred. When he emerges six days later, unharmed but not unchanged, he brings with him a secret: a voice only he can hear and a warning of tragedy to come. What follows is a moving, thrilling, chilling modern masterpiece - a work of towering imagination and emotional depth which unfolds on an epic canvas. 

First off, this is not my typical sort of book. Thrillers and contemporary horrors are normally not my cup of tea. But the author has done such justice with these characters, I felt them lift from the page. The book is long but full of exciting climax after climax which kept me going even if it felt a little bit repetitive. Overall I would give it 3.5 stars. ☆☆☆▪︎5
