Book Description:
AN IMAGINARY FRIEND
Jane Margaux is a lonely little girl. Her mother, a powerful Broadway producer, makes time for her only once a week, for their Sunday trip to admire jewelery at Tiffany's. Jane has only one friend: a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael. He's perfect. But only she can see him.
Michael can't stay forever, though. On Jane's ninth birthday he leaves, promising her that she'll forget him soon. He was there to help her until she was old enough to manage on her own, and now there are other children who need his help.
AN UNEXPECTED LOVE
Years later, in her thirties, Jane is just as alone as she was as a child. And despite her own success as a playwright, she is even more trapped by her overbearing mother. Then she meets a man, a handsome, comforting, funny man. He's perfect-
AN UNFORGETTABLE TWIST
SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S is a heartrending love story that surpasses all expectations of why these people have been brought together. With the breathtaking momentum and gripping emotional twists that have made James Paterson a bestseller all over the world, SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S takes an altogether fresh look at the timeless and transforming power of love.

It never ceases to amaze me how Patterson can go from writing about homocidal psychopaths and then write a beautiful love story ... he really is a wonderfully talented writer. This story is definitely a totally new plot ... one I'm not sure has ever been written about before, and quite ingenius and yet if you stop and think about it ... a wee bit disturbing as well. But you won't be sorry that you read it (I read it in one day) ... Jane and Michael's story will win your heart. It is like all of his other books ... A+!

The story is told from both the perspective of Jane Margaux, the little girl (later turned woman) befriended by an imaginary friend and the imaginary friend himself, named Michael. As a writing style it does help to tell this particular story but although we have both sides to the story it made me feel a little like we didn't get in depth enough.
For this book you do need to leave your sense of realism at the door, and typically I am fine with that but when I finished this book I thought "Well, that was sweet." and that was it. But I got the sense that maybe the writers were trying to make it a little more than that and it didn't quite hit that particular mark. I guess to me it seemed a little rushed, even though the book was 320 pages.
That said, I would recommend it for a very quick light read. It was entertaining. If you are looking for a book with a little more depth to it I would skip it and recommend "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger instead.

Couldn't finish it - this was my second attempt at a James Patterson novel (after "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas"), so maybe his style just isn't for me. After 100 pages, the tone was just too cheesy and the plot too contrived for me to go on.

Absolutely amazing! James Patterson never fails and this book proves that he can write anything. Gabrielle Charbonnet I was not familiar with but this book makes me want to look for other titles. Cannot say enough about this story. I definitely give it 5 stars!!

Perhaps I am too old for this book, I felt like I was being talked down to throughout the novel. Is it targeted toward the junior high audience and I missed that information somewhere? Perhaps I did.
A simplistic bit of fluff with repeated use of the same simple adjectives. Not very exciting, albeit a quick read.

This book was just okay for me. A little strange and left a lot of questions unanswered.

As long as you put your sense of belief onto a shelf before turning the first page of SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S, you'll be fine.
It's a fast-moving read, as all of Mr. Patterson's books are, a love story of sorts that includes an interesting yet weirdly strange plot device. I enjoyed the basic writing and even the tone of the story, but parts of it were just so unbelievable that, at the end, I closed the book with a feeling of "Huh?" more than "Wow."
Patterson's fans will undoubtedly like it, but I wish he'd stick to subjects he writes about best -- murder and mayhem.

I love the short chapters and with the great story, it was a very quick read. Although it kind of fell off in the end as if they wrapped the story up too quickly. All in all worth the read.

This is a VERY quick read. Perfect for the beach/park when you have no interest in a deep, meaningful plot. It's a great story, but it's written like a script and the authors are anticipating the movie version, with cheesy side comments and almost no descriptions. Now if they could only take this great fantasy idea and write a novel!!

This is the first book that I've read by James Patterson. I've heard so much hype about his books and decided that this would be the first that I try. And... I absolutely loved it. Of course I read the summary of what this book was about, but I was blown away at how the story actually went anyway. I now look forward to reading more of his books. Awesome!

This book was a little strange. And I felt like I was being talked down on. Didn't like it
This book is a cute story of fantasy and romance. I enjoyed reading it.
Hannah H. (I only got to about page 130 before skipping to the end of the book. It just did not captivate me in anyway and most of what the book was describing seemed pointless. I mostly wished for the Author to start getting to a good part already but it never happened for me. Apparently this book was just not for me.
I expected a quick enjoyable read, and was not satisfied. It was quick, but lacked any real plot. I felt like I was reading a childrens book with adult situations.
A MUST READ!!! I loved this book!!!! Made me laugh and cry. Not your typical James Patterson book, but DEFINATELY typical James Patterson writing! Made me wish I had an imaginary friend.....
This was an easy read, mildly interesting. The characters are pretty one-dimensional. I felt like I was watching a chick flick in the theater. The book feels like it was written for that purpose. Nothing very compelling about the characters or the story. I thought the "cliff hanging" devices he used to keep you reading were contrived and manipulative. Ok if you're looking for a light read.
Louisa R. (This is not a genre that I usually read but I really liked the story.
This book was Amazing! One of the best I've read! If you enjoy romance, you'll love this!
This was a very good book. It is definitely a book that pulls you through it. This is a great beach reach. Loved it so much I have started passing it on to friends.
This was an engaging, captivating book. One that is hard to put down, so much that I finished it in a day! Sweet, kind, heart felt writing. A must read.
