It says something along the lines of, “Look in these, Mom. He never writes her back, but in the letter she happens to have been returned in this scene, he sticks another letter inside.

Christopher, a married adult and father, no longer speaks to his mother and Jerry. There’s a scene where Kate is much older, still living with Jerry. There’s a scene in the book where all of the important characters are reliving their own versions of Hell (the sheriff watching the girl with painted nails die, Ambrose watching David bury himself alive over and over, etc). Does this imply that her son will be Jesus, since she is a virgin AND her name was Mary? (Her name wasn’t very creative and it was certainly predictable after a while) But at the end, it says that Mary Katherine (a virgin) is expecting a son. I understand the book has a religious theme. I seriously thought King might have collaborated on this book.īut I DO still have some questions or little tidbits to get off my mind. Thirdly good GOD, could Chbosky have made it any more like Stephen King’s works? I love King’s writing so much and this book literally feels like every single SK plot. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE that Kate and Christopher finally got a good place to live and had a comfy lifestyle that they deserved but honestly I think the beginning of the book and that kind of struggle made for a MUCH more interesting plot OR maybe that these positive outcomes happening at the end instead of the beginning. It felt like I started one book and picked up another with the same characters.

There was a lot of repetition and “yep, Christopher’s gonna get out of this one somehow.” Secondly the beginning of the book (Christopher and Kate living in a motel, the idea of being on the run, Kate struggling with money and a job, etc) literally felt like a completely different book compared to the ending. I found myself anticipating the fights being won and there being a happy ending long before the fights and happy ending occurred. This post is basically me writing stuff that confused me or stuff I’d like to discuss!įirstly the book didn’t need to be so damn long. I know I’m behind on reading this one but I saw it on TikTok and gave it a shot. I just finished Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky tonight. There’s ⚠️MASSIVE SPOILERS⚠️ so proceed with caution.
