I thought I was going to be reading a nice light romantic comedy. I've never been happier to be wrong. This book had many twists and turns, but somehow left me feeling as if I had landed exactly where I needed to be. I loved the characters, and the setting, and the story. There was a small bit at the end that felt more jarring than unexpected, but overall a lovely novel!

The unconventional plot line grabbed my attention. A woman falling in love with her childhood imaginary friend seemed like it would be an interesting read. However, James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet took a fairly good plot line and executed it very poorly.

The climax of the story was weak and jumbled. It seemed to me like there wasn't substance to it, like it was just thrown in there at random to cause tension. It reminded me of a cheesy Hallmark movie.

When the couple got intimate, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was bordering on incest and pedophilia. Michael had known Jane since she was practically in diapers and he was 30 or so years older. As Jane's childhood imaginary friend he acted like a father figure in their time together. Thirty years later he's rolling her between the sheets.

On a side note, the banter between the characters seemed childish. Maybe that was intentional, since Jane and Michael last saw each other when Jane was a child. Overall, I thought it was lacking imagination and substance.

I don't understand how more people don't find the premise of this book incredibly creepy like....this grown ass "imaginary" man thinks about this little girl so much and then when they find each other when she's finally an adult they get together?? NO 🙅🏼‍♀️ I hate finished this so I could justify writing a negative review but God this book made me feel so grossed out. It also just felt very basically written but maybe I'm just being a hater 🤷🏼‍♀️ Tempted to watch the movie because it at least looks like the imaginary friend is a kid when she's a kid which would have really changed a lot for me with this one.
