It never fails to amuse and amaze me how James Patterson can write romance as well as his crime novels. It almost seems like he is "bi-gender".
Sundays at Tiffany's is a cute romance about a woman falling in love with her imaginary childhood friend. Yep it's as strange as it gets but a captivating read nonetheless. The writing style varies so widely from his usual crime novels that it seems like it's been written by a woman. Amusingly enough, he wrote in the voice of the female lead, Jane. Jane, the chubby kid who imagined Michael when she was a young child with a neglectful and overbearing mother. She was often lonely and her only friend was Michael. On her 9th birthday, Michael had to leave her as he so often did when his "mission" was accomplished.
Many years later when Jane was in her 30s, she met Michael again. Imagine her shock. And so it is that Michael is pretty much like an angel. Sent on missions to keep little girls and boys company in their childhood. However, he never forgot Kane and neither did Jane forget him after all these years. And so it was, that they fell in love. By falling in love Michael became more like a human, feeling pain and all. It sounds pretty much like City of Angels when Nicholas Cage fell in love with Meg Ryan and decided to be human.
Quite a good read.
