Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson



Rating: 5/5

Review: This was a wonderful surprise of a romance. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, and I thought the premise was going to be silly. It turned out to be a wonderfully sweet romance, and a great story that has a great ending. A woman who has been in the shadow of her mother all of her life, runs into her imaginary friend from her childhood, and they fall in love. Sound hokie to you? Well, it turns out to be quite good, trust me. It's about enduring love, believing in miracles, believeing in yourself, and opening yourself up to possiblities.

Book Description: As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother Vivienne Margaux, the powerful head of a major New York theater company has no time for her. But she does have one friend--Michael--and no one can see him but her. But Michael can't stay with Jane forever, and on her eighth birthday, her imaginary friend must leave her. When Jane is in her thirties, working for her mother's company, she is just as alone as she was as a child. Her boyfriend hardly knows she's there and is more interested in what Vivienne can do for his career. Her mother practically treats her as a slave in the office, despite the great success of Jane's first play, "Thank Heaven." Then she finds Michael--handsome, and just the same as she remembers him, only now he's not imaginary. For once in her life, Jane is happy--and has someone who loves her back. But not even Michael knows the reason behind why they've really been reunited.
