The (Not Quite) Perfect Boyfriend

Hi guys,
I'v just finished this cute story called The (Not Quite) Perfect Boyfriend by Lili Wilkinson, about a girl - Imogen - who makes up an imaginary boyfriend, when suddenly this 'boyfriend' - exactly how she imagined him - comes into her life as a new student in her school. He gets in on Imogen's secret, but it turns out he isn't as perfect as she thought he was. After Imogen goes through public humiliation, like all good books, she comes out the other side and figures out that the knight in shining armour she was looking for was standing in front of her all along.
This was an interesting book which I can appreciate, as it shows how teenage kids can be scathing, as well as the trouble with relationships.
It took me a while to finish it, but when I did, it was worth it, a feel good book with a happy ending. I would recommend this to teenagers who aren't looking for a very serious book, just a nice quick read with a cute ending.
