    It’s okay, you’re not breaking my heart or anything 💔💔😂 all of your criticisms are super valid though, I mean the supernatural elements are off the charts in this one haha! I’m glad you liked the beginning of it? 🤣 Christopher and Kate captured my whole heart!

      But the beginning was so, so good! I’ll still read from him in the future!

    00:34 “But I do not enjoy supernatural aspects in thriller or horror books.”
    Agree for thriller. But if horror doesn’t have supernatural aspect, then what is ghost? Ghost is science fiction? lmao.

    I’m about 120 pages into it so far I’m loving it. I’m not much of a reader but this book has me hooked. I’m more into the supernatural so hopefully it won’t fall flat for me lol! Great review though

    Good review Brittany! For me this was a book of two halves, one was enthralling and ambiguous, the other was heavyhanded, black and white, and overlong. Really great start.

    It depends if its clear supernatural from the start its better but if they introduce supernatural elements at the end it feel cheap and seems to come out of nowhere

    I'm with you on the supernatural aspects in thrillers. If it's a mystery/ thriller I want to have a good old "whodunnit" or an exploration of the places people will go to to get what they want, it's that human aspect that I really like.
    Yet I love fantasy and sci-fi! So it does seem a bit odd.

      I totally agree. I need to stop trying to make myself like them lol

    I totally agree that the book started off at 5 stars and went downhill. Broke my heart though because The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of my all-time favorite books and this is that author's only other work.

      I’m glad you agree! I really wanted to love it!

      @@BookswithBrittany have you read The Perks of Being a Wallflower? Might be outside your normal genre but it is absolutely fantastic.

    I was going back and forth on reading this one and I haven’t. I think my initial feelings along with this review helped solidify that I’m not going to.

    Great review! I like that I can understand a lot about the book even without having read it.

    I'm thinking about giving this book a try this year

    The repetition of phrases and sentences drove me crazy. It has no business being a doorstopper that it is. Gave it one star.

  • @angelaholmes8888
    @angelaholmes8888 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes imaginary friend is too long it's over 500 pages long

    Did you notice? This style. Writing. Sentences. Sudden periods coming in. Everywhere. Too often.

    • @BookswithBrittany

      I listened to it so I didn’t really notice that

    I JUST finished it...i gave it a 3/5 stars..i thought it was just ok..not great writing 😒

    • @burge2695

      I thought the first half was better then the last half...and certain lines or sayings were repeated over and over and it got annoying

  • @turtleanton6539
