Product Description
As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother, the powerful head of a Broadway theater company, has no time for her. She does have one friend-a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael-but only she can see him.
Years later, Jane is in her thirties and just as alone as ever. Then she meets Michael again-as handsome, smart and perfect as she remembers him to be. But not even Michael knows the reason they've really been reunited.
SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S is a love story with an irresistible twist, a novel about the child inside all of us-and the boundary-crossing power of love.

 Lighten up! I loved this story!!! June 7, 2008

I bought this in CD format was loved the voices rendered to the story telling of this sweet story. I liked it so much that I'm ordering a hardback for my library and passing on the CD to my friend. Of course it's a fantasy, but so is Star Wars and Indiana Jones..... I liked them also. I loved the characters in this story... you have to have a good group to make a story work and with Jane, Michael, Jane's looser boyfriend, and her mother, there-in sits the grouping for a great cast of dysfunctionals. How will they pull it together? I couldn't wait each day to get in my car to "read" a bit more of James Patterson's newest book. I am really shocked by some of the negative reviews. I truly loved "Sundays at Tiffany's" and give it my highest rating and recommendation. Please give it a chance and I think you will be pleasantly pleased. JMHO //(*_*)\\

Very good book. With an unorthodox approach, the story was full of pleasant surprises.
Fantasy but OK June 11, 2008

I loved this book! It was a great easy read with short chapters. I like that it was a light romance which I do not normally like.
I am a huge Patterson fan and just loved the change. Where is everyone's imagination? I think you should definately give those one a read I don't think you will be disappointed.
A-, Not for Typical James Patterson Fans June 7, 2008

This book gets an A- because it was:
A) Different story, not a recycled one
B) Couldn't put it down
C) Light, easy reading
I think the poor ratings I've seen on this book is because a lot of James Patterson fans were expecting something similar to his past books. From what I read of the other bad reviews, everyone seemed disappointed that this book came from Patterson.
Setting that aside, let's assume that someone else wrote this book. Suspend your belief and read it for what it is. The book is about a little girl who has an imaginary friend, Michael, who she loves. He leaves her on her 9th birthday and she spends the rest of her life missing him even though she moves on without him.
Now, as far as imaginary friends go, once he leaves they are both supposed to forget about each other eventually. Yet she doesn't. And neither does he. In the imaginary friend circle, if you're an imaginary friend, you get recycled. Going from one child to the next, but you get breaks in between. Eventually you forget them.
The book doesn't delve into the whole imaginary friend world. Like who created them, how did they come into existence, or whatnot. You just have to fill in the blanks as the author doesn't tell you. I can see how some readers might even be annoyed by this.
Employment as an imaginary friend allows you to conjure up money at will as money does not motivate imaginary friends. That is how they are able to rent apartments and pay for cab fare when they are on breaks in between assignments. Like I said, suspend your belief. If you can get past this, you should enjoy this book. If you can't, you go into the camp of people who hate this book.
Think about it. Hollywood puts out tons of movies with totally crazier things. Remember that John Travolta movie, Michael, about an angel? So, what if the story is totally believable about real life and there is one very odd thing about it that makes it sound unreal? That is what you get when you read fiction.
I don't want to do a full book synopsis because what's the point in reading the book then? In a nutshell, 2 people find each other against all odds (sounds cliche', but it is) and they go through it as they find out more about themselves and each other.
This is such an easy read, you can read it on a Saturday and finish. It is a cute and easy book. If you don't like cute, don't read this.
