Description
A powerfully moving novel of love, loss, hope, and family from bestselling author James Patterson.
Katie Wilkinson has found her perfect man at last. He's a writer, a house painter, an original thinker - everything she's imagined she wanted in a partner. But one day, without explanation, he disappears from her life, leaving behind only a diary for her to read.
This diary is a love letter written by a new mother named Suzanne for her baby son, Nicholas. In it she pours out her heart about how she and the boy's father met, about her hopes for marriage and family, and about the unparalleled joy that having a baby has brought into her life.
As Katie reads this touching document, it becomes clear that the lover who has just left her is the husband and father in this young family. She reads on, filled with terror and hope, as she struggles to understand what has happened.
Written with James Patterson's perfect pitch for emotion and suspense, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas captures beautifully the joys of a new family even as it builds to an overwhelmingly moving climax. This is an unforgettable love story, at once heartbreaking and full of hope.
Reviews
What a tearjerker!
5By 1 BankerI have read so many James Patterson books & have so many more that I want to read. Yet nothing that I’ve read of his many, many books prepared me for his ability to reach right in & tug on each & every heartstring. I simply had to read it in one too short sitting. Mr. Patterson, you’ve surprised me again. And I thank you for it.Predictable, boring
1By MayurajkumarDisappointing. Forced myself to read the whole thing - and kind of want my money back. The end seemed like the author had 5 mins to write the ending - felt like he just gave up on the story. And the letters to Nick were super generic - what any mom would write to her son. Nothing special. Big disappointment!Recommended!

5By ShannonlcoinIt was an emotional and heart warming story:)Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas Review
4By The Honest Truth.I don't usually cry at things I know aren't real. But this book brought me to endless tears that don't seem to want to go away. It's truly a beautiful story, but there are a lot of typos. The text is very flat and I don't know the people as well as I would like to. It's not very descriptive writing, but nevertheless it's a must read. I finished in 2 days because though I couldn't get into the characters heads, they sure got into mine. 4 stars.bring out the Kleenex
5By AlethanWhat can I saw....Mr Patterson has did it again! I loved this book, it make you laugh, smile and cry. This will be a keeper to read again.Not so great
2By MostlyflummoxedI am unfamiliar with Patterson's book but was told this is a departure from his norm. I found it short on words, it seemed too clipped. The dialogue was strange and the author spoke in a way that a woman wouldn't. He also has limited knowledge of children much less babies and mothers. The book lacked a lot of development. The characters were thin. The diary lacked some continuity, how did Susan managed to keep track of all the details of her sickness and unconsciousness long enough until she could write them down? The story held promise but needed a lot more work.
