My mother has begged me to read the new James Patterson novel "Sundays at Tiffany's". I usually like something deeper and more complex. I enjoy reading history and suspense, but after the months of classwork I was really in the mood for a lighthearted novel.
This James Patterson novel hit the spot with love and fun. The main character reminded me of myself. She had absolutely no luck when she was a child and spent most of her childhood alone. Her mother was a famous actress with no permanent man in her life and spent very little time with young Jane Margaux. Jane had a imaginary friend called Michael and they were best friends.
Jane was suppose to have no memory of Michael when he left her at age 8, yet she did and her heart was broken once again. Throughout her teen years she learned never to trust people, even her mother. When she reached her twenties life had remained terrible but she had never forgotten michael. When life got her down she would remember the good friendship and times she had with Michael and her heart was lifted. I have had bad times in my lifetime and remembered something special that happened to pass the bad times away.
Later in the book Michael somehow became human and ran into Jane and they fell in love. The first part of the novel was actually the best, describing the uncertainty about people and the behavior of her mother. The love story made the book end well but was not my favorite part.
I really enjoyed this James Patterson novel.
