My Child's Friend

by Tiffany Royster

I never thought that such a simple birthday present would turn our lives upside down. My daughter has always had the best imagination. She likes to play make believe. Like any other four-year-old child. But when she starts to tell me about her new friend, I begin to wonder if this is her imagination or worse. Is this new friend something she created or does she really exist?

I really enjoyed this book! It was a quick read that kept me engaged from start to finish. I especially liked the ending, and I absolutely love the author's writing style. I've already added some of her other books to my TBR list!

Tiffany Royster's short story offers a compelling glimpse into the life of a protagonist who undergoes a significant journey of self-discovery. At just 107 pages, the narrative efficiently charts her growth, particularly her burgeoning belief and confidence in herself. I found the main character genuinely engaging, and it was rewarding to witness her navigate challenging circumstances while strengthening her relationship with her husband. The story effectively highlights the theme of finding balance and inner strength amidst adversity.
Royster's storytelling is generally strong, with a good sense of pacing and tone that kept me invested. While there were some instances of grammatical errors that occasionally interrupted the flow of reading, they didn't overshadow the overall impact of the narrative. The core message of the protagonist's evolving self-assurance resonated deeply, and I appreciated Royster's ability to portray this transformation in a concise yet meaningful way.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the book and Royster's storytelling. It's a testament to her skill that, within a short format, she managed to create a character whose journey felt both authentic and inspiring

Decent plot! Although, the writing was a bit choppy and there were several grammar errors.

I liked the plot of the book it has nice short chapters and it’s a quick read. But there are lots of grammar errors and some times there are just to much detail on things that not important.
