Her life went on but not very happily. By the time Jane hit her thirties her professional life was going ok, she is a successful playwrite, but she is just as lonely as she was as a little girl. Just when it seems that Jane’s life can’t get any more depressing, Michael reenters her life. While Michael is glad to see Jane again, he knows there has to be a catch. Imaginary friends are never supposed to reappear.
Sundays at Tiffany’s is not your normal Patterson. If you are expecting the typical thriller you will be disappointed. If you don’t believe in imaginary friends or at least can’t make the leap with your imagination, Sundays at Tiffany’s will be tough to read. However, if you want to read a love story that has a little different slant than the usual, you will like this book. Sunday’s At Tiffany’s has the usual surprises that Patterson fans have come to expect. It isn’t what one would normally expect but it is still well worth the time.
