    About this audiobook

    As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother Vivienne Margaux, the powerful head of a major New York theater company has no time for her. But she does have one friend--Michael--and no one can see him but her. But Michael can't stay with Jane forever, and on her eighth birthday, her imaginary friend must leave her.

    When Jane is in her thirties, working for her mother's company, she is just as alone as she was as a child. Her boyfriend hardly knows she's there and is more interested in what Vivienne can do for his career. Her mother practically treats her as a slave in the office, despite the great success of Jane's first play, "Thank Heaven." Then she finds Michael--handsome, and just the same as she remembers him, only now he's not imaginary. For once in her life, Jane is happy--and has someone who loves her back. But not even Michael knows the reason behind why they've really been reunited.

      An interesting look at the bond between a person and their imaginary friend. Interesting story yet parts seemed a little farfetched to make sense as well as parts with negative view of the world. Overall a quick read consisting of an emotional middle and ending.

      3 1/2

      - 1/2 for being so predictable & sappy sweet.... However, it made me glad to read about true love, standing up for oneself, dumping butt-heads.... I teared up a lot, and was sad, because I know there is no such thing..... But maybe it gives one hope.

      I read this in one sitting, it was easy to read and pretty well written....

      I never thought I'd ever read this, but when 2 copies came to my desk from the booksale at the same time, I saw in the catalog it was a popular book. So I added one (as a second copy) and I kept the other to read.... It will go back to the booksale.
    • 3/5
      Sundays at Tiffany's was a bit of a drab read, however it did start out with a good story line. A little girl grows up to remember her childhood imaginary friend, a man she will eventually come to love. it is heartwarming at least.
    • 2/5
      I really didn't like the style of writing in this book. It seemed childish and choppy. The story itself was okay, and I think could have been much more developed and interesting. I'm just glad I didn't spend any money on it-I borrowed it from my mom.!
    • 2/5
      Not for me. Imaginary friend from childhood reappears when you're an adult? A fairy tale that reads a little bit like a children's book, but then there's the sex scenes. . . Stick to Alex Cross, Mr. Patterson.
    • 4/5
      Two things I love: Christmas and love stories. This book embodies both beautifully in a book that tells a fictional romantic story of a childhood love.
    • 1/5
      *gag* Too mushy.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic! I truly had no idea where this story was going to take me. An absolute pleasure to read!
    • 4/5
      I would describe this book as a whimsical, easy read that was the perfect escape for a rainy afternoon. I really like the characters - by the end, I even liked the unlikable ones. It's a mixture of romance and fantasy (sort of) that does make you think a bit. The unanswered "How?" that goes along with reading about Michael and Jane, especially about Michael, is the only thing that bothered me. I suppose it's best left up to our imaginations. Great literature this is not, but it was certainly entertaining.
    • 5/5
      I'm not a huge fan of James Patterson. Usually, I can't get past the back cover of his books, but this one... I just don't know. It really found a soft spot. I love the book. I love (& love to hate) the characters. Hugh is an ass, and just when you think he couldn't possibly get any worse, he surpasses your expectations, and then does it again. Jane is a beautiful person and sweeter than pie. Michael is just handsome and... just wonderful.

      I really can't get over how much I love this story. It's absolutely beautiful and I strongly recommend reading it. In fact, the moment I finished it, I gave it to one of my friends to read. She'd heard me raving about it after we got off the train earlier in the day and asked if she could read it when I was done.

      Just as a warning, the chapters are notoriously short, and you won't realize how quickly you get through it. It took me less than two days. Also, it's what my mom calls a "peanut butter and jelly book" or a pb'nj book. This isn't heavy, deep reading, unless you make it that, and that may be a struggle. Additionally, although it did not do so to me, it may bring tears to your eyes. Be prepared.
    • 5/5
      THIS BOOK IS JUST AMAZING OK!! Made me cry! Just like what the movie adaptation did! The story is amazing. Childhood friends. Imaginary friends. Love story. Family. It had the mix of all those! Must-read! (and must-watch! the film is great!)
    • 3/5
      Very nice love story. Fast read, nicely developed characters, happy ending.
    • 4/5
      This is the first book I've read by James Patterson. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Jane, to me, is portrayed as this sweet little girl who has never really been shown love by anyone, except for Michael. Her father is absent. Her mother's head is floating in diamond-studded clouds. She always criticizes Jane about her weight, her looks, her eating habits, etc. Who, in their right mind, puts down an eight or nine-year-old? It's sad. Michael is the only one who loves Jane for who she is. Michael is the only one who encourages Jane to stay that way. No one loves Jane the way Michael does. And Michael is an imaginary friend...

      It's sweet, endearing, and oh, you'll just love it.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed reading this book and didn't take long to read at all. Can't wait to read another.
    • 1/5
      Imaginary childhood friend returns when said child is an adult. What can I say about this book? It was cute!
    • 3/5
      This is a nice, breezy romance (or coming of middle-age story) in the style of "Bridges of Madison County" crossed with "The Velveteen Rabbit" as if written by Richard Paul Evans, but I had several problems with Patterson's plot. First of all, it was actually kind of creepy to have the imaginary friend (metaphysics of that job were deliberately left murky) to metamorphize from a faux dad to a real lover. Second, this book could possibly be given to a mature teen but not one of mine, because of the 3 gratuitous pages of graphic sex and the occasional unnecessary f-words. Third, although Jane's illness was an integral part of the plot up until the moment it suddenly wasn't, it was never referred to thereafter nor explained. So, thumbs down as a whole.
    • 3/5
      Okay book. Not up to par with Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and Sam's Letters to Jennifer
    • 5/5
      Excellent. Great summer read. One of James Patterson's best, albiet different, books.
    • 5/5
      What a great read. Made me wish I had, had an imaginary friend as a child. What a wonderful story.
    • 2/5
      I came to this book with something of a bias - I'm not generally a James Patterson fan, and I have already expressed my wariness of books that are co-authored. Turns out my wariness was not to be assuaged this time around.
    • 4/5
      Just a sweet little book. You won't remember it three days after you read it, except to say, "Oh, yeah. I read that. It was sweet."
      There was a twist or two, well, at least they tried for a twist or two. Much longer and the book would have been annoying. A pleasant way to spend an afternoon with no real angsting.
    • 4/5
      To say it simply, I loved this. It's beautifully written, detailed enough to make you feel as though the characters are real. I cried along with Jane and Michael in their struggle to overcome significant limitations to their romance. If you enjoyed Time Traveller's Wife, you'll enjoy this nearly as much!

      Sweet and romantic, this was a great read on a rainy afternoon.
    • 3/5
      Rather sickly-sweet, plot-driven novel. Quick, fun, read, but I doubt it will stick with me. Similar premise to The Time Traveler's Wife, which I think was a much better book.

      Oh, and I found the repeated mention of coffee ice cream with rivers of hot fudge sauce to be really annoying. Reminded me of a story I wrote when I was in third grade. I had a little thing in there I just loved and insisted on putting it in way too many times. But hey, I was in third grade.
    • 4/5

      Similar to a Nicholas Sparks book. Many twists and turns in the end.

      Easy, fast to read. Interesting, new storyline.

    • 4/5
      As the story begins eight year old Jane is sitting havingan ice cream sundae whilst her imaginary adult friend,Michael, has a dish of melon balls. They enjoy eachothers company so much and go to museums, parks,and just spend time together. Jane's mother, Vivienne,is a constant critic of Jane and is not happy unlessshe is finding fault with her. No one can see Michaelbut Jane.When Jane turns nine, Michael tells her that he must go;that all people like him who come to befriend childrenmust leave their children when the child turns nine yearsof age. He tells her that she won't even remember himand that it will be all right.However, Jane never forgets Michael, though she some-times does doubt if he was ever actually real. She doesnot have a happy childhood nor life. But the story movesahead to when Jane is in her thirties and somethingamazing happens.This is a beautiful little 'chick lit' story and I loved it. Iliked the characters I was supposed to like and dislikedthe ones I was supposed to dislike.This book was what I needed the last couple of days.Reading it brought an ease to my heart that I desperatelyneeded. I recommend it to people who are in need of alight, heart felt story and to those who enjoy this type ofread. I rated it a 4 out of 5 star read.
    • 2/5
      Jane's imaginary friend Michael was the best thing in her life when she was a child. But on her ninth birthday he left her, as the rules dictated believing that she would forget him like all the other children. But Jane promises to never forget and she doesn't. Many years later, while on a break between imaginary friend assignments, Michael encounters Jane as an adult. Their friendship springs back to life bringing love with it but the powers that control Michael's life could force him to leave Jane behind again and break her heart just as badly.I picked this book up after watching the tv movie on the W network with Alyssa Milano. The idea of there being a network of imaginary friends who are assigned to children who need them was such a fascinating one that I was eager to see how the book dealt with it. While not disappointed with this book, I think I enjoyed the movie adaptation more. So many plot points came out of nowhere with no lead-up and seemed to exist for the sake of having something happen. The rules and structures associated with imaginary friends were barely sketched out and subplots appeared and disappeared without much resolution. Jane and Michael's relationship was only mildly interesting to watch develop but I found the movie more emotionally affecting than the book was, and the book makes several efforts to go to the sad place. Not an exciting read but an interesting premise with an ok ending.
    • 5/5
      One of the best love stories ever told! I was so sad when it was over. Definitely a must read for any chicklit/romance fan! James Patterson doesn't let you down!
