As a child, Angelina spent years in counseling learning that Josie, her imaginary friend, wasn't real, but it turns out her childhood friend wasn't imaginary after al .
Now Angelina has to accept she's either (A) crazy or (B) able to see ghosts. Wanting to believe in her sanity, she chooses (B) and welcomes Josie back into her life. But even Josie can't help her deal with Shel y, the spirit of a confused teenager, and things go very, very wrong.
When Angelina finds herself in a psychiatric hospital, she faces a choice: she can spend the rest of her life pretending to be someone she isn't, or she can embrace who she is and take a chance that she may never get to go home.

To Jesse, thank you for playing Barbies and Nintendo with me. Thank you to Jerry and al my family, extended and close, for being the awesome sauce. A special shout out to whoever created zombies. Whenever I feel like I’m having a bad day, I take a peek at the living dead and total y feel better about myself. Thank you to my sister Dawn, who is probably the only person in this world who wants to see my face on a shirt and not on the back of a milk carton. Ricky Bobby—I don’t know what I would’ve done without the endless distraction you and your sidekick have provided me whenever I’ve reached an impasse in my writing (Thank you, baby Jesus).
So very thankful for my friends—Dawn, Lesa, Amber, Amber number 2, Shel y, Kel ey, Lisa, Tracy, Ashlee, Jen and everyone else—for not disowning me because I choose to spend time with imaginary friends. My betas and awesome writing friends—Brenda St. John Brown, Kimberlee Turley, Claire Merle, Lisa Rogers, Stephanie Sauvinet, Catherine Peace—al helped me not make a complete idiot out of myself when it came to revisions and al that good stuff. Remember those names, because they wil be your favorite authors real soon. Thanks to Carissa Thomas for helping me brainstorm while I played the waiting game.
