Really cute premise. The protagonist is an uptight woman who is guardian to her nephew. She becomes friends with his "imaginary" friend and the story is told through the viewpoints of the woman and the imaginary friend. Of course, I love stuff like that (ghosts, other worldly people looking after us, etc.) so your mileage my vary. There were some things I didn't like about the book, however. For one, the reader is beat over the head with the fact the woman is uptight, black and white, etc. The narrative tells us this, then we see it through her interactions with the other characters/her surroundings. There was plenty of "showing" so we didn't need so much "telling." Also, I found the protagonist quite unsympathetic in her relations with her nephew. As a mom, the way she treated him nearly brought me to tears a couple of times. That poor kid, with an addict for a mother, and a guardian who neglects and belittles him, I was surprised when Ivan, the imaginary friend, tells his "coworkers" that the kid is fine. It was clear to me the author is not a parent. In any case, it was a fun, light read and I found the topic wholly original. I can see why it was optioned for a movie.
