Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Pages: 320
I loved Sam's Letters to Jennifer and Susan's Diary to Nicholas so I was hoping that Sundays at Tiffany's would be of the same calibre.
The novel's byline; 'what if your imaginary friend is your one true love?' had me intrigued and expecting a whimsical, romantic read, but sadly, Sundays at Tiffany's just didn't do it for me.
Now I'm fairly easy to please but I found the prose confectionery sweet and either Patterson or Charbonnet appeared to have a fetish for mentioning brand names, "her hair smelled of Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo" "...ties from Bergdorf Godman", "his navy blue Ralph Lauren suit" - who cares.
I liked the characters but I didn't feel a real connection with Jane & Michael, I felt they lacked depth (that may have been helped along by the Patterson's typical 2 - 3 pages to a chapter.)
This was an OK read, very quick and light but overall I found it disappointing.
