Novel review: Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson
Jane Margaux is an eight year old girl with an imaginary friend named Michael. Michael is about 30, he's charming, funny, and comforting, and he is with her almost all the time-- and only Jane can see Michael.
But on her 9th birthday, Michael tells Jane that she's a big girl now and he's not allowed to stay with her any longer. He says Jane will soon forget all about him, but she swears it's not possible because she loves him so much. Flash forward 24 years. Jane is a lonely adult who has never forgotten Michael. She used her imaginary friend from her childhood as the basis for a smash hit play that's being made into a movie-- but she knows the leading man from the play, who happens to be her boyfriend, isn't right for the movie role and no longer right for her life. Then, in a chance encounter, she meets a man who is charming, funny, comforting, and incredibly handsome-- exactly like Michael, her imaginary friend. Is he an Angel? A gift from God? What exactly is he, and why is he back in her life? You might know some of James Patterson's other books, the suspenseful Maximum Ride series, or the crime/action books featuring detective Alex Cross. Sundays At Tiffany's is a love story and unlike his other suspense books. His co-writer, Gabrielle Charbonnet, gets a much smaller mention on the bottom of the cover-- primarily because it's the Patterson name that will put the book on the best seller list. It's a charming love story that if you give it enough suspension of disbelief you just might fall for.
