The hype surrounding this book when I read it was unreal. While I did enjoy the story, I don't feel like it was the greatest thing I've ever read. The murder mystery itself, while being something I fear as a mother, was a bit predictable and unsurprising. The part of the story I found myself loving the most was Jake's relationships with his "imaginary friends" and the bits of the story that focused on the characters interactions with each other. Usually in a mystery I read to find out who did it. With this book I was reading more to find out about the character development and the imaginary people. This being the author's first novel, I can absolutely see myself reading more from him in the future.
