Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:A powerfully moving novel of love, loss, hope, and family from bestselling author James Patterson.
Katie Wilkinson has found her perfect man at last. He's a writer, a house painter, an original thinker - everything she's imagined she wanted in a partner. But one day, without explanation, he disappears from her life, leaving behind only a diary for her to read.
This diary is a love letter written by a new mother named Suzanne for her baby son, Nicholas. In it she pours out her heart about how she and the boy's father met, about her hopes for marriage and family, and about the unparalleled joy that having a baby has brought into her life.
As Katie reads this touching document, it becomes clear that the lover who has just left her is the husband and father in this young family. She reads on, filled with terror and hope, as she struggles to understand what has happened.
Written with James Patterson's perfect pitch for emotion and suspense, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas captures beautifully the joys of a new family even as it builds to an overwhelmingly moving climax. This is an unforgettable love story, at once heartbreaking and full of hope.

A love story of sorts with the largest part told by a Mom to her infant son thru a diary that she's written for him. There is a main theme thru the story such as "how lucky am I" and the 5 ball life lesson. It's a touching story set in Martha's Vineyard and a small bit in NYC. ( )

Oh I loved this book! I read it in just a few short hours. I could see some things coming but it still made me cry. I am not used to Patterson making me cry.

It was a love story between a man, his wife and their son but also the story of another woman in his life. A good easy read. ( )

Sorry, I am NOT a fan of Patterson's non-mystery work. This was his first, I believe, and it shows (I do believe that his most recent - Sunday at Tiffany's - he actually went so far as to find someone to help him). This book just doesn't "read" well. "Suzanne" keeps referring to the father by his name, instead of just saying "your father" or "daddy" to the kid... Come on James, your readers are quick enough to follow this. The whole book was just ruined for me because of this sloppy writing. In truth, the idea for the book was great...I just wish he'd gotten someone else to write it! ( )

Sweet, sappy, tragic, and predictable...Suzanne's Diary for her baby (Nicholas) is unrealistic from the first page. The characters are all beautiful, talented, wealthy, and perfect stereotypes, except for Matt who loves his wife but still chooses to have an affair. Though men are known to stray all the time, the book gives no explanation for Matt's duplicity. I guess the only thing that kept me reading was the need to see what happens. It's Patterson's gift to draw the reader in and keep them turning pages and it worked with me for this book. It was an easy read, so not much time was invested, and it did have a happy ending...sort of. ( )
