Basically I loved this book. But, and it's kind of a big but, once the romantic interest turned to romantic action, I got pretty weirded out. The concept of being the adult friend of a young child, even if you are imaginary, and then becoming sexually involved with that child when they are in their thirties is a little too pedophile-esque for my taste. Once the thought occurred, it distracted me from the rest of the book. I couldn't get past it, which is the only reason that took this 5 shot book to 4 shots. ( )I really enjoyed this book. Book starts out with a lonely 8 year old girl and her imaginary friend, Michael. They meet again 23 years later. Premise is that two people are destined to be together. This was a quick reading, very sappy book. It screams "chick flick" to me and I wouldn't be surprised if this one becomes a film, as it follows a formulaic pattern of the never-ending barrage of this type of movie. While I did like the concept, I found that I wanted it to be more substantial as far as character depth and the plot. As long as you put your sense of belief onto a shelf before turning the first page of SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S, you'll be fine. It's a fast-moving read, as all of Mr. Patterson's books are, a love story of sorts that includes an interesting yet weirdly strange plot device. I enjoyed the basic writing and even the tone of the story, but parts of it were just so unbelievable that, at the end, I closed the book with a feeling of "Huh?" more than "Wow." Patterson's fans will undoubtedly like it, but I wish he'd stick to subjects he writes about best -- murder and mayhem. This book was so good! This is definetly a book I would recommend to girls. It's sweet and very romantic. After reading this book I just wanted to go and hug someone. Just because of this book I think that James Patterson is going to become one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to read more from him. no reviews | add a review
