Product Description
As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother Vivienne Margaux, the powerful head of a major New York theater company has no time for her. But she does have one friend--Michael--and no one can see him but her. But Michael can't stay with Jane forever, and on her eighth birthday, her imaginary friend must leave her.
When Jane is in her thirties, working for her mother's company, she is just as alone as she was as a child. Her boyfriend hardly knows she's there and is more interested in what Vivienne can do for his career. Her mother practically treats her as a slave in the office, despite the great success of Jane's first play, "Thank Heaven." Then she finds Michael--handsome, and just the same as she remembers him, only now he's not imaginary. For once in her life, Jane is happy--and has someone who loves her back. But not even Michael knows the reason behind why they've really been reunited.

 Sweet and sappy July 4, 2008
This book appealed to my wishful thinking element of life. The what if factor. Yet, the over simplification of the characters and ultimately the story, disappointed. I was not surprised at the twists the authors introduced; many were predictable. Jane and Michael are very likable as main characters and Vivienne as the mother is equally unlikable. The book is rather black and white. Towards the end of the story, the characters form different attitudes that help bridge their relationships, but it is very sudden and somewhat unbelievable.
For fans of Pattersons lighter novels, the book is a bit of a letdown. It is a decent beach read, easily finished in one or two days. It is not a book to dwell upon long after finishing.
so-so July 3, 2008
I wasn't impressed with the book and I don't recommend it. Imaginary friend coming to life, like whatever.Carry on.
 Haven't read James Patterson before. July 2, 2008
I haven't read James Patterson before, so maybe that's why I so enjoyed this sweet, romantic, clever novel. I had no expectations whatsoever. This book is very easy to read. My 12 year old daughter wants to read it next. As I read it, I felt like I was watching a really wonderful movie...couldn't wait to find out what would happen next as I turned the pages. It's light and simple but very intriguing at the same time. I will highly recommend this book to all my reading friends.
 Sweet story June 30, 2008
What a beautiful way to spend a weekend reading this fairy tale. The book is enchanting, lovable and very sweet. A beautiful love story that transcends time and space. Too bad I do not remember if I had an imaginary friend, I would have loved to have one like Michael. if you are a romantic you will love this book.
 Horrible June 29, 2008
First I'd like to make it clear that I love fantasy. However, I read better fairy tales when I was a child. This book was written at about the 3rd grade level.
While forcing myself to finish, because I could easily see where it was going, I skimmed through much of the book.
Don't waste your time.
