Nothing like a good story with a bit of ekam eveileb thrown into the mix. Adorable!

7/10 - harder to get into this one I found it a bit of a slow start, but about 100 pages in I started to enjoy it and read the rest in two days.

This is such a sweet book. Basically it's about a boy who has an imaginary friend, yet his aunt(who he lives with)can see him too. It was a perfect summertime/feel good book.
The author is one of my favorites, I've enjoyed all of her books.

The blurb for this book doesn't really give you an insight into what the story is. Elizabeth is a tightly wound adult caring for a nephew after her sister failed to step up as a parent. Imaginary (or invisible) friends are a thing, sent to help children (and dying adults) deal with the challenges they face. But sometimes it is the adults that need help with their own challenges. This was a bit of a love story, a bit of a (late) coming of age story. While it had potential it was just missing the thing that would make it a good book.

This was a pretty quick read. I've been listening to "Where Rainbows End", and wanted to read something else by Ahern, and grabbed this one. The characters were good, and the story was definitley a bit fairy tale and a bit romance, but it just seemed to be lacking something. I'm not sure what it was lacking, but I can't say I would recommend it to anyone.
