Portrait of My Best Friend

De: Bailey Thomas

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A lonely young artist's dreams of the perfect girlfriend come to life on her canvas.
When Charlotte's best friend dumps her for boys and beer parties, she locks her bedroom door and starts to draw. She's tried to fit in, but it isn't a boy she wants. If only Autumn were real, instead of just a pile of beautiful drawings that she's been hiding from her mother.
Charlotte knows Autumn isn't real, she does, but she's fallen in love with the idea of having a secret girlfriend. Someone special to talk to, and someone who understands her.
But when Autumn starts talking back, that's when things get interesting!
"I thought I had outgrown YA books, but this one brought me right back."
"What an amazing story with such an original concept. The dialogue shines in this story, especially the complex relationship between mother and daughter. Coming of age, the troubled best friend and a secret friend. It was a perfect story with imperfect characters. So very good!!!
"Heartfelt and so funny!"
"Raw, funny, and occasionally painful. I loved all the stuff going on in Charlotte's head."
"One of the best reads I've had in a long time! Profound, real, and raw to the core."
"The dialogue shines, especially between mother and daughter...a perfect story about imperfect characters. So very good!!!"
"This book didn't go where I thought it would, but damn it was a good story."
"A great coming of age dramedy about coping, coming out, and finding that one person that makes it all worthwhile."
"I loved this book! A well written story about two teenagers' journey to accept their sexuality."

the characters

the storyline. I really do not like the virtual voice. there is no emotion in the voices, no change in the different characters.
