Product Description
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.

 Have you seen the movie Michael? September 5, 2008
This book is so similiar to the old movie, Michael, starring John Travolta as an angel, that it's a wonder the author isn't being sued. It's written on the fourth grade level and insulting to anyone who's ever read his earlier works, such as Along Came A Spider. When will James Patterson stop copying others merely to mass his books? He has a outstanding talent but seems to have lost it to commerialization. Sunday at Tiffany's is written solely for the purpose of selling books fast and offers no literary content.
 A quick delightful read September 4, 2008
I had pretty low expectations of this book based on previous reviews I had read. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to read this tale (under 3 hours), but I was glad that I did. It's a really cute story about an adult woman who runs into her childhood imaginary friend. The imaginary friend is a man who is alive and real in New York while on a break from his day job. The premise is pretty far fetched, but I read it as a modern-day fairy tale and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had never read James Patterson before and I think I may try out some of his other novels now.
Good Sunday afternoon read. August 30, 2008
It was a sweet story...perfect for curling up on a raining Sunday afternoon or a lazy day in a hammock. A lot of JP's recent books have been crap, so I didn't have high hopes for this one...especially after reading the book jacket. For those who gave it 0 or 1 star, lighten up!!! Use your imagination. ;)
 This is "City of Angels" if it had worked out August 28, 2008
At times a bit sweet and charming, this book just doesn't deliver. It's vague to the point of being irritating, and the end seems cobbled together and rushed. It's hopeful, but there is something just weird about the adult relationship between the two characters.
Check it out from the library. I'd love to sell my copy and recoup the money I wasted.
Immensely Enjoyed This Book August 23, 2008
Despite some of the other reviews on here, I loved this book. The story starts out with Jane being a young, not so attractive little girl who happens to have a mother who is more wrapped up in her own materialistic world, that Jane creates or meets her imaginary friend Michael. Michael cares for Jane very much, talks to her, keeps her company, etc. but of course, is only seen by Jane. The reader soon learns that Michael is more than just "imaginary" but rather a real angel who is assigned to young children, but must leave them once they turn 9 yrs old. And that is what happened for Jane. However, although the children supposedly forget their "guardian angels" who are assigned to them, Jane does not forget Michael. Fast foward 23 years and Michael stumbles across Jane by accident. He has never forgotten her, but assumes she has forgotten him. He follows her around town w/o her knowledge as she goes about her business and her life. The reader begins to see how much Michael has missed Jane. Eventually she catches sight of someone who looks like Michael as she passes a mirror in a hotel. To make a long story short, they hook up again, Michael has not aged, but Jane has. They start to date. Things begin to happen to Michael making him as well as Jane believe that Michael is becoming a mortal vs. an angel. Overall, I loved this story. It was romantic, fantastic in the sense that we know it could never be true, but touching. My only frustration was the authors hinted quite loudly that Jane had a serious medical condition, that was never explained later in the story. The authors built it up in one scene to create anxiety in the reader and to make that part more compelling, and then it was just dropped! Very strange.
