It was cute, but considering the writing team and the killer premise, I kind of hoped for more. The ending was sweet, but the perspective switching never really paid off in my opinion as I'm not sure what insights were provided by having one character or another narrating a given chapter. It wasn't a bad book by any measure, but it just didn't really do it for me.

I wasn't sure about this at first, but I'm really happy I stuck with it!

This whimsical story told through alternating point of views of young Livy and her interesting creature friend, Bob is imaginative and entertaining.

This was just phenomenal!
Not many books make me tear up, but this did.
I'm so full of memories of my imaginary friend.
I will fight anyone who discredits children's literature as literature.
