From thriller king, James Patterson, and children’s author, Gabrielle Charbonnet, comes something a little different for both: a romance. Sundays at Tiffany’s is a classic love story, with a whimsical twist.

When Jane was young her mother dominated her life, her father favored his new wife, Jane’s dreams and heart were big, but even her birthdays were a disappointment. In over 20 years, not much has changed, except now she can add a slick boyfriend to her list of disappointments and the absence of her imaginary friend, Michael, weighs heavy on her heart. Despite his “imaginary” status, Jane remembers everything about Michael and the story of their friendship inspired Jane’s production of a Tony-winning Broadway show. After all these years, Jane can hardly believe it when she bumps into Michael again. He is even more wonderful than Jane remembers, not having aged a day, and the two quickly fall in love. However, questions plague their relationship. Why is Michael here? When will he have to leave to resume his work as an imaginary friend? Or is there a different mission waiting for him? Most importantly, is there any way that Jane and Michael can share in a future together?

This quick read is told from multiple perspectives, allowing the characters to share their deepest desires and fears. Jane’s humility paired with her upscale New York lifestyle give her mass appeal, while Michael is quickly shown to be the man that every woman wants. Even the villains of the story have their redeeming qualities in this well-packaged story. Recommended to fans of Nicholas Sparks books (The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle) and Meg Ryan movies (You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally) the world over.
