If My Invisible Husband was made into a movie, these two actors would be ideal for the roles of Nicolette "Nikki" Montana and Byron Matthews. Do you agree or disagree?

Definitely a Best Seller... alright!!! It was so not predictable unlike some lazy authors who definitely needs more brainstorming... LOL!!! I loved Parris but most of all Casper, we need more black men like him who isn't afraid to love or give up on it.
Job well done and I am very proud to be a fan!!!
