Book Description:
Katie Wilkinson has found the perfect man at last-but one day, he disappears from her life, leaving behind only a diary for her to read.

The diary is written by a woman named Suzanne and is addressed to her new baby boy, Nicholas. In it she pours out her heart about the joy he has brought her. As Katie reads this moving story, she realizes that the man she's fallen in love with is Suzanne's husband, Nicholas' father. She reads on, filled with terror and hope as she struggles to understand what happened-and whether her new love can survive.

Written with Patterson's perfect pitch for emotion and suspense, this novel captures beautifully the joys of a new family. This is an unforgettable story, at once heartbreaking and full of hope.

Katie Wilkinson has found the man of her dreams. One day he disappears from her life, leaving only a diary for her to read. This diary is a love letter from a young mother to her infant son. The more Katie reads, the more she realizes that Matt, her boyfriend, is the husband and father in this young family.

Good love story with all kinds of twists and turns.

Wonderful book but don't read it without a tissue handy!

If you're looking for typical James Patterson fare, keep looking. When I read this book I was amazed that it was written by the same James Patterson who writes the books of mystery, intrigue, murder, and crime... How someone can transition from that genre to this is mind boggling to me. He's truly just a gifted author to be able to write so well in both genres.

This is just the sweetest story... Well, actually bittersweet. If you can get through this without feeling some tugs at your heartstrings, well then, I think just a tiny piece of your soul might be missing.

If you like this book, you'll like Sam's Letters to Jennifer, also by Patterson. It's sort of like a Nicholas Sparks novel, only (in my own opinion) better written, (and I like a good Nicholas Sparks every so often).

You know, I just listed Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and Sam's Letters to Jennifer on my PBS booklist, but I think I need to read then both again before someone requests them.

Loved it! It's a fast read - I started and finished on a flight from Chicago to Fresno - I turned to my husband at the end and, bawling, told him I loved him and gave him a big hug!!!

This is a sweet little story with no bad guys. It's all about love. I read this book in one day: every time I put it down, I couldn't wait to pick it back up again. Probably everyone in the world read it before I did, because it was a NY Times number one best seller.

A sweet book. After reading all the reviews, I expected a real tearjerker. It was predictable to me. Not the great love story that I thought it would be. One of the main reasons I read it was I wanted to see the movie, so I figured I would read it first. Now I'm not sure I want to see the movie. Just didn't move me like I had hoped.

I absolutely loved this book although I've never cried so hard reading one. Beautifully written, don't we all wish we could find this kind of love even once. I adore my husband and hope that we find our love to be forever as this one is.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. Heart wrenching, beautiful story with an ending I wanted and got. A story of love, loss and love again....my kind of escape.
Highly recommend this one.

James Patterson was obviously having an identity crisis when he wrote this book....as in confusing himself with Nicholas Sparks.

It's not a bad book, but it's not what you expect from James Patterson, either.

If you are a Sparks fan, you will enjoy this story - "twist" at the end and all.

SLOW SLOW SLOW

Of the summer reads I had this year, this book was in the bottom as far as character interest. Perhaps I'm not a romantic anymore or I'm just an old 42 yr old looking for someone I can identify with. Didn't happen here

It is one of those that makes you reflect on your life and tells you to remember what it important.

I laughed, I cried, I got angry too....all the emotions a wonderful writer can bring out in a person ready their books.

A plot that just might make the reader tear-up at the end.
