Reviews
"Nothing is more annoying than knowing that a handsome movie star like Jay Ellis is also a talented writer. His debut collection of essays is so funny, poignant, and personal. I loved this and you will, too." --Mindy Kaling, author of Why Not Me? and Nothing Like I Imagined "Not only affirming but also transporting, a true beacon for both our younger and older selves who were once lonely, and perhaps are still lonely at times, but always capable of wielding our immense imaginations . . . This is a joyous, celebratory, fluorescent, and fully alive book." --Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America "Heartwarming, heartbreaking, and seriously hilarious, this book is an ode to imagination--that which dwells inside all of us, waiting to run free. Jay Ellis has written a brave, necessary book, filled with coming-of-age stories packed with solid life lessons. I wish I'd read this as a young person, but am even more grateful to have found it as an adult." --Mateo Askaripour, author of Black Buck "Poignant and delightfully nostalgic with a perfect blend of humor and candid self-reflection . . . This is an essential reminder to nurture the worlds we build in our minds as children--and as adults, too." --Zakiya Dalila Harris, bestselling author of The Other Black Girl "Pairing youthful exuberance with the nostalgia of a man looking back on his formative years, this book is told with verve, charm, and joy. By the time you finish, you'll wish you had an imaginary friend like Mikey, too." --Maurice Carlos Ruffin, author of The American Daughters, " Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)? is not only affirming, but also transporting--a true beacon for both our younger and older selves who were once lonely, and perhaps are still lonely at times, but always capable of wielding our immense imaginations. This is a joyous, celebratory, fluorescent, and fully alive book." --Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America "In this poignant and delightfully nostalgic collection of essays, Jay Ellis recounts growing pains and gains from his youth with a perfect blend of humor and candid self-reflection. An essential reminder to nurture the worlds we build in our minds as children--and as adults, too." --Zakiya Dalila Harris, bestselling author of The Other Black Girl, " Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)? is not only affirming, but also transporting--a true beacon for both our younger and older selves who were once lonely, and perhaps are still lonely at times, but always capable of wielding our immense imaginations. This is a joyous, celebratory, fluorescent, and fully alive book." --Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America
Synopsis
Jay Ellis, star of HBO's Insecure, tells the story of growing up with an imaginary best friend you will never forget--part Dwayne Wayne from A Different World, part Will Smith from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air --in this hilarious, vulnerable memoir. "So funny, poignant, and personal. I loved this and you will, too."--Mindy Kaling, author of Why Not Me? and Nothing Like I Imagined What to do when you're the perpetual new kid, only child, and military brat hustling school to school each year and everyone's looking to you for answers? Make some shit up, of course! And a young Jay Ellis does just that, with help from his imaginary friend, Mikey. A testament to the importance of invention, trusting oneself, and making space for creativity, Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)? is a memoir of a kid who confided in his imaginary sidekick to navigate parallel pop culture universes (like watching Fresh Prince alongside John Hughes movies or listening to Ja Rule and Dave Matthews) to a lifetime of birthday disappointment (being a Christmas-season Capricorn will do that to you) and hoop dreams gone bad. Mikey also guides Ellis through tragedies, like losing his teenage cousin in a mistaken-target drive-by and the shame and fear of being pulled over by cops almost a dozen times the year he got his driver's license. As his imaginary friend morphs into adult consciousness, Ellis charts an unforgettable story of looking inward to solve to some of life's biggest (and smallest) challenges, told in the roast-you-with-love voice of your closest homey.

- u***g (118)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem was priced well and a good value, received in a very timely manner and well-packaged. Was in the exact condition described and appearance matched seller's picture(s). Would recommend seller unreservedly and will do business with them in the future. Although customer service was not needed for this sale, I have dealt with Book Outlet numerous times over the years and, when necessary, can say their customer service team is top-notch!
- i***c (890)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis is a frustrated positive feedback. I am always perplexed when sellers choose to ship via an "off-brand" shipper, e.g., OSM Worldwide. This tends to delay the time it takes to get to me vs more "traditioaal" shipped, e.g., USPS, UPS, or FED-EX. This is a pretty good seller. The price was good, the shipping pretty prompt (though deliver took a bit longer than I expected), and the communication was pretty good as well.
- z***i (1170)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI recently purchased a book from this Seller, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. The book arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described. It was packaged in a sturdy, reusable cardboard envelope using no plastic at all. Delivery was surprisingly fast, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this Seller!Wombat, the Reluctant Hero (Nr. 364491341296)
