Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

by James Patterson

Book editor Katie is in love with poet, Matt Harrison. He seems to share her feelings, but his refusal to talk about his past makes her suspicious. All she knows is that Matt was once married. One evening, he suddenly ends their relationship, leaving Katie devastated. A few days later, he sends her a notebook that he promises will explain everything. Katie opens the book to find it is the diary that Matt's wife, Suzanne, wrote for their baby son. It tells the story of her love for Matt and Nicholas, and reveals the tragedy that haunts Matt's life today. And Katie realises he needs her to understand his past if she is ever to be a part of his future.

Reviews

Read this one for my book club and man, I cried buckets ...again. This book definitely held up for me and I'm glad for it because it's a heartbreaking but beautiful story.

Let me preface this review by saying that I am generally not a huge fan of romance novels or overly sappy, angsty novels. I generally go for suspense or sci-fi/fantasy. That being said:

This is one of my favorite books. I've read it more than once and it makes me cry every time. It's not the greatest writing and it's sometimes cheesy but I still love it. The plot was compelling and kept me wondering until the very end. It's sappy and very sweet while still offering a little bit of a mystery.

I don't know - maybe it's being the mom of two very young children but this story just touches me every time I read it.

Don't expect to be reading a great work of fiction here. However, if you go into it expecting a light, easy and emotional read you should be content.
