Jane Margaux is a lonely little girl. Her mother, a powerful Broadway producer, makes time for her only once a week, for their Sunday trip to admire jewellery at Tiffany's. Jane has only one friend: a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael. He's the perfect man in every way. Unfortunately, only Jane can see him.
But Michael can't stay forever.
On Jane's ninth birthday he leaves, promising her that she'll soon forget him. Years later, in her thirties, Jane is just as alone as she was as a child. And despite her own success as a playwright, she is even more trapped by her overbearing mother. Then she meets someone; a handsome, comforting, funny man. He's the perfect man all over again.
MY REVIEW:
After having this book on my shelf for a while, I decided to pick it up. I saw good ratings on Goodreads for this so I was excited to read it. I really enjoyed the younger Jane way more than older Jane. I didn't like the fact that she just dealt with her mom issues. How can you not stick up for yourself? And, not just her mom, her boyfriend, too?! He was a total asshole. I would have punched him at least 6 different times. I didn't like that it took 150 pages for them to actually meet again. Like, really? It needed that much time to meet again? And then when they met, it was insta-love! Yeah, I know, they knew each other before that, so they only had a little bit of catching up to do, but they met and then they went on dates. And then it became really serious. Personally, I would have had like a million questions about what happened when he left me the first time. I also didn't like (I know, this is sounding like a rant, but hold tight) how Michael never even told her that he had a feeling she was dying. What kind of person just doesn't tell you something like that. Like oh, I'm becoming more human and you're dying to take my place. I'm pretty sure I would want to know that! But, I did like how Jane didn't die. I really enjoyed Michael's character, when he wasn't lying. He was the sweetest boy and like the synopsis said, "perfect." I did think this book was cute and was a quick read. I gave it 3/5 stars, considering there were more negatives and positives.
