I was reluctant to start this book. It was a gift - not something I'd choose for myself. This book completely surprised me and has left me wanting more. I would love to read more about Ted's life with Rob and how their friendship/relationship grows, how they deal with Ted's alters, etc. I don't like "fluff", but I would make an acception for that. And I could read more about Night Olivia and their little show, and their opinions on naps. I recommend this book if you're even slightly interested in reading it. It's rare that a story has me hooked from so early on, so this one is special. I'll certainly never forget it.
