“The whole imaginary friend thing is just too difficult to get past. A cute love story, but a tiny bit creepy. Almost like incest creepy. The mother daughter relationship was not developed enough and all of a sudden their relationship problems were resolved at the end. Mediocre "junk food" reading. ”

While some readers felt there was an element of "creepiness" to the adult relationship between Jane and her imaginary, childhood friend, Michael, the relationship between the two really is quite complex and the characters themselves suffer inner conflict about the timeliness of the relationship. I found myself rooting for the two and sympathizing with the emotional struggle that they endured because even in real life, you can't choose who you love and as one reader commented "Love doesn't often make sense."
I hoped that Michael would reveal more about himself and ultimately find the answers to the questions about his existence. In the end, it's up to the reader to decide. In the two days it took me to read the book, I couldn't help but wonder how I would write my own fantasy. Had George Clooney been my imaginary, childhood friend, and had he decided to pursue me as an adult, well, that would be just fine with me.
Obviously many readers expected something different from James Patterson; did you not read the book jacket?

“A nice love story, it is a fantasy but some how believable. This is the second time I have read this book and enjoyed it both times.”
