Most people think its just Jodi Picoilt and the second name is the illustrator but it's really her daughter! I love when a mother and daughter team writes together.

I loved that it was so different from Jodi's normal books (and I know REALLY want to read the ones of hers I haven't) and how imaginative it was. I loved that it was light-hearted and more of a fantasy than anything, and I enjoyed watching Oliver and Delilah's interaction. That said, I also agree that there could have been a bit more spark between them.
