Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)?: Adventures in Boyhood by Jay Ellis

funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced
This was a nice peek into Jay Ellis’ boyhood and teenage years. I love that he got his parents to assist in the audio narration and I can tell he’s done a lot of introspective work in either therapy or some psychological reading. He noted at the beginning of the book that he cannot define this as a memoir, because he has so much more life to live and wisdom to grow and I respect that. This is a look through the eyes of his perspective on growing up, especially with his imaginary friend, Mikey. It is very common for children that move around a lot, are only children, or have a lot of change in their lives to create an imaginary friend to cope and it is super normal as a kid to process this way. It shows a creative spirit and I am interested in seeing Jay Ellis’ growth as an actor and man over the coming years.
