Review by Susan Palmer
Picture this, you are an eight-year-old child and you have an imaginary adult friend of the opposite sex. When it is your ninth birthday your imaginary friend tells you it’s time for him/her to go and that you won’t remember them tomorrow. Yet, you never forget your friend. One day you see this person in your city when you’re an adult and the imaginary friend hasn’t changed one bit. Well, this is what James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet’s Sundays at Tiffany’s is all about.
Jane is now an adult working not only in the company her mother started, but also for an overbearing mother. Jane has successfully created a Broadway show called “Thank Heaven,” which is based on her imaginary friend Michael, whom she has never forgotten.
Michael has found himself in New York City waiting on his next assignment. Most of the children he has forgotten, and some he’ll never forget. There’s only one he’s really loved–and that’s Jane. As he strolls through the city, he wonders if she is still here and what she is doing. He begins to seek her out, and one day sees her strolling through the park. The next morning he returns to see where Jane works. When she gets to the company, Jane is met by her boyfriend Hugh. Michael then decides he has to let Jane go.
One day Jane is enjoying a coffee ice cream sundae at the Astor Court of the St. Regis Hotel. She glances up and thinks she see’s Michael, her imaginary friend. As she walks over there, she is astonished that it is Michael, and he’s talking to another girl. Michael is real and not imaginary anymore.
James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet take you on a magnificent ride as Jane and Michael become more acquainted with each other and discover why Michael is in human flesh, and is there in New York.
Sundays at Tiffany’s clearly blows James Patterson previous two books Sam’s Letters to Jennifer and Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas out of the water.
Armchair Interviews says: Patterson fans will not be disappointed, nor will any reader of this wonderful romantic story.
