The book was published in March 14th and contains pages. I found it a little odd that Jane's chapters were told in 1st person and Michael's were told in 3rd person, but I got used to it quickly. It wasn't hard to understand, but I did wonder why the author wrote the book this way. Michael was pretty much flawless, so he really wasn't realistic at all. But I was viewing this novel as a fantasy anyway, so it didn't bother me that he was too good to be true.
Jane was very much a pushover but still likeable. It was fun to see her become stronger as she built her self esteem with Michael's help. I thought this book was very innocent and refreshing and I will probably read more in this genre by Patterson.

Picture this, you are an eight year old child and you have an adult imaginary friend of the opposite sex. Yet, you never forget your friend. Jane is now an adult Picture this, you are an eight year old child and you have an adult imaginary friend of the opposite sex.
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 there are some he never forgets. 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. Michael is real and not imaginary anymore.
James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet take the reader on a magnificent ride as Jane and Michael become more acquainted with each other and discovering why Michael is in human flesh and there in New York. Feb 09, Jess rated it did not like it. Let me start by saying I love romances with a supernatural twist, usually. Having had imaginary friends as a child I thought this book was right up my alley.
I was sooooooooo mistaken. It was a little creepy. It was so syrupy sweet that I thought I was going to go into sugar shock. It was probably one of the silliest stories I have ever read.
And the ending The only good thing about it is that it only took me a few hours to finish. View 1 comment. Feb 19, Ashleigh rated it did not like it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I read this book for a book club that I recently joined and it just really wasn't my style.
I have to admit that I was less than excited when I noticed the book was written by James Patterson. Whether accurate or not, I have always viewed him as more of a money-making book factory than a real storyteller.
As far as this particular book is concerned, I didn't care for the main character at all. She played the victim from beginning to end. Mommy didn't love me, Daddy is too busy for me, my imagina I read this book for a book club that I recently joined and it just really wasn't my style.
Mommy didn't love me, Daddy is too busy for me, my imaginary friend left me seriously , my boyfriend is a total jerk I'm not a huge fan of love stories that I find to be TOO unrealistic. So, the thought of a love story between a woman and her childhood imaginary friend was certainly not for me.
Also, was no one else creeped out by the fact that Michael, the imaginary friend Creepy uncle style. I was also unsure as to what demographic this book was supposed to be targeted. The language was pretty elementary and the plot of falling in love with your imaginary friend also seems to skew to a young audience for me Love love love this book!
Love the main characters, the romance, the feels!! The plot is a unique one: Girl has an imaginary friend. Imaginary friend leaves her. Girl grows up. Imaginary friend shows up. And here's the twist That's a love story to tell the grandkids. I cannot say too much about this book without spoiling it, but I can say that the story really delivers A perfect end to a perfect romance. A movie was made based on this bo Love love love this book! A movie was made based on this book, and although it was a fun film to watch, readers of the book will be disappointed since they took away many crucial points from the book that is the heart of the story.
But I do recommend this book to fans of Patterson and hopeless romantics like me. Sep 15, Zainab added it. Jane had an imaginary childhood friend, Michael. With nine years, Michael says goodbye to Jane and consoles her by promising her, that she will forget him. But it comes quite differently and after many years they meet. But what is the reason why he is with her again? The book is beautiful and through the choice of words also funny. But for the reason of the title, you have to do more than just read the book.
Jun 08, That Girl rated it it was ok. This was a fairly short and predictable read. I finished it in a matter of hours but that's just the way I go about reading any book I start. Unless I must put the book down, I'd rather try my best to keep reading keep the movie reel spinning.
I enjoyed the book for the idea behind it but I felt it lacked a lot of development and the style of writing felt very I don't know, junior high-ish? I don't find that to be a big factor in my thoughts of the story however I do find that not enough des This was a fairly short and predictable read.
I don't find that to be a big factor in my thoughts of the story however I do find that not enough descriptions and attention to details were present. There were too many chapters because most of the chapters were about two pages long. I understand that usually it signifies a change of setting, etc. As this being my personal review, I felt the author s could have done much more justice to the story than what had been done.
The relationships could have been developed better as well. I could not find myself feeling anything for Jane or Micheal or Vivienne or even Hugh. I did not feel any strong emotions for the relationship between Jane and Micheal in their relationship as "imaginary friends" or as adults.
So to sum it up: it's an okay story with not enough pages to get the readers to feel anything for any of the characters. View 2 comments. Jan 18, Kelly rated it it was amazing.
How can I begin? Sundays at Tiffany's was delightful. It embodied everything I enjoy about reading James Patterson. His stories have such an incredible beat and flow to them. It is like reading a song. You get so caught up in the story that before you even realize it, you are three quarters of the way through. For me, this is when the anxiety hits. This is when I realize that I am almost to the point where I have to wait for another James Patterson story to take me away.
I immediately fell in lov How can I begin? I immediately fell in love with young Jane. Such a sweet child so lost in the world of her glamorous mother.
Jane has the fortunate gift of a wonderful friend, Michael. Michael is the utmost in imaginary friends. He is handsome, a great listener, and he is entirely devoted to his Jane. Michael's and Jane's friendship is completely charming and wonderful, and I found myself thinking I should have thought larger when I had my own imaginary friend. Jane as an adult is equally loveable.
You find her likeable from the get go and you desperately want to see this woman happy. I do not want to go into anything that could remotely give the story away, but I will say that this goes above and beyond in good story telling with an ending that is not predictable. Sundays at Tiffany's is a truly remarkable story, and I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to read it.
Sep 15, Joella rated it it was amazing. This book was wonderful. Halfway through I told my kids and husband the story at dinner and they were all enthralled.
Jane and Michael are great characters with comendable personalities. The book made me laugh several times. The characters were so real life. Other than the fact that Jane was very rich and Michael's occupation was an invisible friend that is. My 9 year old daughter asked if she could read the book because she thought it sounded so good.
Up til the last hour of the book I would ha This book was wonderful. Up til the last hour of the book I would have said yes. The only thing that happened that I wouldn't want her to read up til that point was that Jane's boyfriend Hugh said the F word a few times. There is a very short love scene at the end that she is not old enough to read but I am sure today at dinner I will have to finish the story for them.
I would recommend this book to anyone. It made me laugh, love life and tear up a couple of times. Feb 28, Kate rated it did not like it. I was aware that I was not the audience for this book going in. I did. I felt high minded about it too, and secretly hoped that it would be a fluffy, fun read. I hope never to read something so ridiculous and poorly written again.
It was actually written not by James Patterson, but by Gabrielle Charbonnet. Patterson does this often, comes up with an outline or a plot idea, contracts it out, slaps his name on it and makes a fortune. Far be it from me to judge, but I do know that this book under some unknown name would never get published.
With so many worthy writers out there, this is a shame. May 14, Maria Ella rated it it was amazing Shelves: reading-challenge , favorites , most-loved , to-cry-for , romance , james-patterson.
If I was Jane what will I do to release myself from the jaded mediocre life..? This is how Patterson will teach me - through this novel. I found the book online and placed it in my handheld gadget. As soon as it was stored I get comfortable on my bed and started reading. Enjoying the moments, both happy and sad, it made me realize some things.
Review and Reflections: [Entry made to wisely spend the slack time in the wee hours in the morning. We work our assignments together, play our games together, even run some errands together.
We have owned such precious moments, and it will forever stay in our hearts. That is why I cried a tear when Michael told Jane that her 9th birthday is the last day he will stay with her, thus, the end of his assignment. Whatever will happen to Jane from that night on? Michael told us that Jane will simply forget that he arrived and became her friend. But you know what? Such treasure etched in her heart. As well as in mine. Fast forward and Jane is a messed-up. She is supposed to be living thirty, flirty and thriving but hell, she is with her mom and acting "okay" with her boyfriend named Hugh who is an actor - living the life "okay" though she is crying inside.
Depressed and on the brink of tears, she took down a memory lane and finally, to where her happiest moment was - taking a large sundae on a Sunday afternoon across Tiffany's. Suddenly it felt right. But what about Michael? Is he real? I will not elaborate the lovey-dovey parts of the story for I do not want to spoil the magic, but Patterson taught us to not forget , and no matter how tough the situation is, holding on to the happiest moment is the key to make it all right.
We have the power of attraction , a successful mantra that whatever challenge we are facing, we are to undergo and survive all this. In life and in love, the mantra is so powerful, it can mold faces and make two total strangers look like the same over the years.
It can leap through time, transcend through generations, and fly sky-high. I may not yet experience the kind of love that does not forget, but I have my power of attraction as my weapon. And believe me, I can give you one too.

One being that it is a mass marketed author which I seem to have a prejudice against. There is no real reason for this mind set, I just seem to have it. Secondly, it is a really sappy sort of love story and I think that kind of book is just for girls. I know, I know, another unreasonable mind set, but I felt like I should be under a umbrella at the beach behind a pair of Ray Ban Sunglasses And finally, it is wr This is one of those books that I am not supposed to like for a variety of reasons.
I liked the book. True, it is a sappy love story. And true, it is mass marketed. But for some unjustified reason I liked it. I found it a simplistic read that required no background knowledge but it would be nice to have been to Astors in New York City at some point in my lfe and I finished it quite rapidly. The story is about a little girl who has a imaginary friend that no one else can see and who, when the girl turns nine, must leave her forever.
But later in life, when this little girl grows up, her imaginary friend comes back into her life by accident. I now what you are thinking. The second half of the book Michael, the imaginary friend, tries to rationalize why this is happening, why are all the rules being broken, why did he cut himself shaving, why does his heart hurt?
