Loading... Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas (2001)by James Patterson
None.  CherieReads | Apr 3, 2013 |  review to follow..... (  ) suefitz1 | Apr 3, 2013 | this really was quite bad. and i mean the writing and the story, not just the fact that i really didn't need to read about the joys of new motherhood and of losing a baby. it read like a bad young adult book, if i'm being generous. it does have a nice idea of a parent leaving something tangible, like a diary, for their child to get to know them through, for those years that they will have not known or forgotten. but that certainly doesn't make up for the terrible writing, awful dialogue, and really unoriginal ending (not to mention beginning and middle). if i cried, it was for my own loss, not the character's. (  ) elisa.saphier | Apr 2, 2013 | James Patterson has a very long list of books that he has written. Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas was his first romantic book that he has written. It tells the story about Kate Wilkinson and how she falls deeply in love with a man named Matt, who suddenly ups and leaves he one day. She gets a package in the mail with a diary that belongs to Suzanne. The novel covers what Suzanne has written in the diary, and how Katie deals with it. James Patterson has been one of my favorite authors since I can remember. When I found out that he had written a romance novel, I was quick to buy it and read it. As usual, I was very pleased with the book. Love stories are some of my favorite stories to read, and Patterson has done a very good job with this one. It was so good that they’ve made a movie about this book. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I give it 4 stars because it is a very good book. A very good book would make me cry, and this one did. Another reason is because I’ve read the other two love stories that he has written, and this one would come in third. Otherwise, it would have received a 5. J. Wedin (  ) FolkeB | Mar 13, 2013 | It has been so long since a book broke my heart this bad and made me cry so hard at four in the morning. James Patterson never disappoints. ( ) julietearjerky | Feb 26, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0446611085, Mass Market Paperback)Talk about a change of pace! Renowned suspense writer and Edgar Award winner James Patterson, author of such bestsellers-turned-blockbuster-movies as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls, exposes his sensitive side in his new novel, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. Katie Wilkinson's boyfriend Matt dumps her; not a total cad, he leaves her a gift, a diary kept by Suzanne, his first wife, for their son Nicholas. Though it's not exactly the diamond ring Katie was hoping for, she's unable to make herself destroy the diary--against her better judgment, Katie begins to read.Drawn against her will into the other woman's world, Katie learns of physician Suzanne's heart attack at age 35 and her decision to slow down, accomplished by a move to Martha's Vineyard and a new job as a simple country doctor. When love comes knocking, in the form of housepainter-cum-poet Matt Harrison, Suzanne is ready to listen to her newly repaired heart. Though painful for Katie, she begins to know and like Suzanne and her infant son Nicholas. Suzanne's devotion to Matt and their son shines through, as well as her plainspoken wisdom. While the journal helps Katie understand Matt, whether they can write a future together remains in question. --Alison Trinkle (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:43:49 -0500) Katie Wilkinson has finally found the perfect man but one day he suddenly disappears, leaving behind only a diary written by a new mother named Suzanne for her baby, Nicholas.

This is one of my favorite books. I've read it more than once and it makes me cry every time. It's not the greatest writing and it's sometimes cheesy but I still love it. The plot was compelling and kept me wondering until the very end. It's sappy and very sweet while still offering a little bit of a mystery.
I don't know - maybe it's being the mom of two very young children but this story just touches me every time I read it.
Don't expect to be reading a great work of fiction here. However, if you go into it expecting a light, easy and emotional read you should be content. (
