Amigo imaginário

I've decided not to rate this. Yes, it was very long, but I was still engaged throughout the story. It could be repetitive and heavy-handed and downright strange but I wasn't disappointed by it. And yet I can't rate it so I won't. More than anything I'd like to hear about Mr. Chbosky's writing process for this. It would take me 20 years to write it too, damn.
