    About this audiobook

    Katie Wilkinson has found her perfect man at last. He's everything she 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. 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 - and whether her new love has a prayer of surviving.

      Like most of the books I've read by James Patterson, I hated it for the most part. I don't find his writing or stories very unique and there's a long rant that could come from me about stuff, but I'll save it since millions of other people love him. Also like the other books of his I've read, around the last 40 or so pages, I got hooked. Normally I would prefer that this happened no more than a hundred pages into a book, but luckily his books are fast reads and fairly short since he can't seem to write a long chapter. I wouldn't not recommend this book to people sole on the point that my opinion of him isn't complete. I just wonder how much he actually writes of a book when he has a co-author and how the hell he can publish so many books in one year. It just doesn't seem natural.

      If you're looking for a trashy romance to read, one that doesn't have Fabio on the cover, this book can satisfy that urge. In the future though, if I want to read a well written romance, I think I'll stick to the few Nicholas Sparks books I have left to read.
    • 4/5
      Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas is a true gem.
    • 5/5
      I am not ashamed to admit that I love James Patterson books. When I saw that he had written a romance book, I was quite surprised! And I had to read it obviously.I loved it, I read it at the hairdressers in a little over 2 hours. I couldn't put it down. I had a bit of a feeling where it was heading but it still shocked me towards the end. I sat there with my mouth open thinking WTF?I find it a well written story with depth and I felt like I got to know everyone. It felt evocative and I didn't want it to end.
    • 4/5
      This book is not my typical read. The characters are passionate. Heart felt. Intense. These things do happen. We never know the weight that others carry. This time we find out.
    • 5/5
      It has been so long since a book broke my heart this bad and made me cry so hard at four in the morning. James Patterson never disappoints.
    • 3/5
      A quick read - finished it in a few hours. First I thought I was going to cry as most of it was like reading one of Nicholas Sparks' books, but the ending wasn't quite what I expected.
    • 2/5
      To be honest, I have nothing to say about the book, besides that it was slightly better than Sundays at Tiffany's - though it wasn't by a long shot. Like his other book, I read it in one sitting and as disappointed as I am, I think I would try his thriller books next time. Somewhere in the far future.
    • 5/5
      This one is a tear-jerker, so when you are ready to curl up on cold winter day, grab this book! I couldn't put it down, and read it in one setting!
    • 4/5
      I must admit that I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book. I've not previously read James Patterson...I'd certainly heard of James Patterson (many of my friends read him) but what I knew of him was thrillers and mysteries, grit and crime...not the emotional and sensitive look at life and love that this proved to be.The book flowed masterfully as I expected and from that standpoint was a joy to read. The character of Suzanne quickly captured my heart and I couldn't help rooting for her despite the obvious supposition that things could not be expected to end well for her. The sweet and honest romance between Suzanne and Matt at times seemed almost too perfect and idyllic and thus was for me a bit unbelievable. Despite that, I was sucked in and as the suspense built could not help but rush through to the end which I'll admit had me shedding a few tears.I'd definitely recommend this one as a quick and easy sweet read for a rainy afternoon. You won't be left pondering the universe, but a pleasant sense of melancholy and perhaps a need to re-examine your priorities in life will linger.
    • 5/5
      I simply adored this book! I read Patterson's other books, etc.. 'Along Came a Spider' and 'Kiss the Girls' but this one blew my mind away. I cried as i read it. At first I hated the main Character who seemed to have two timed his wife with another woman and left the other woman with Suszanne's Diary as a consulation prize, but as I got near the end I understood completely. This is a tear jerker. I couldn't put it down. This is my absolute favourite. I would read it again and again. I've read it twice and am contimplating getting it on my Kindle.
    • 5/5
      WOW, this book went a total different direction than i had thought it would. Get the Kleenex ready. Has made me a James Patterson fan. I finished this book the same day I started it.
    • 3/5
      A tear jerker. An interesting twist on love and loss and a quick read to boot. Patterson's romanticization of Martha's Vineyards was much stronger than the story itself, which was nice. It gave those who don't have a fairy tale life something to feel good about.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely addicting and enthralling. A definite must-read.
    • 1/5
      The only reason I forced myself to finish this book was because it's the book that my book club picked for December.It was overly sentimental, predictable, and poorly written.The "diary" format is pretty lame considering it's just a story that's being told with a few "Dear Nicholas," lines thrown in to make it look like a diary.The characters are flat and I didn't feel a connection to any of them.I cannot imagine why a mother would write a diary to her infant son in which she tells him all about the first time she and his father were intimate (down to the details of him slipping off her clothes)...very bizarre.
    • 4/5
      Katie Wilkinson had, what she thought to be, a perfect, dream come true relationship. But the wind gets sucked from her sails quickly and painfully.Matt Harrison was the man of Katie's dreams, but also the man who would eventually hurt her.What Katie didn't know and would learn in time was the unimaginable pain and sadness Matt has survived and unfortunately was unable to let go of.After the break up Matt send Katie a diary, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and tells her that maybe by reading it she will begin to understand.The book is written from Katie's point of view and also from Suzanne's. You will learn by taking the journey of discovery, with Katie, reading the diary. The transition of present day to the diary is seamless and helps pull you deeper into the lives of every major character. You will celebrate, mourn, fall in love, cry and rejoice. It is hard not to become intertwined in the lives of the characters. I think it was best said by another reviewer at the beginning of the book that it will move you to your soul. I know it did mine.
    • 5/5
      Was an excellent book.
    • 3/5
      This was a good book. It is about a young woman named Katie who begins reading this diary that her ex-boyfriend, Matt sent to her. The diary is from Matt's first wife, Suzanne. She had a heart attack at a young age and she decided that all the stress from work had caused this heart attack. So she moved to Martha's Vineyard. She meets Matt there. A little while later, they are married and she becomes pregnant with Nicholas. Not too long after his birth, she finds herself pregnant...again. After a terrible accident, Matt is left all alone.After reading about Suzanne and Nicholas, Katie decides to go visit Martha's Vineyard and "meet" Suzanne and Nicholas, while trying to find Matt.
    • 4/5
      Tragic love story no matter how you look at it. Enjoyed reading this story. Wasn't what I expected. This is the first James Patterson book that I read, I throughly enjoy his style of writing.
    • 3/5
      Not thrilled with this although still love Patteson's short chapter style of writing. I think I am so used to his mystery genre that at times I can't get into his writing this type of fiction. I am sure it is just me as he is SO talented!
    • 5/5
      This was a big change from James previous books. The first romance novel I have read of his. I thought it was beautiful written the story (A touching one) was told nicely. It almost read like a Nicholas Spark novel. I loved it.
    • 5/5
      Kate has found the man of her dreams,Matt, only to find him gone one day. Matt leaves behind a diary for her to read. Kate reads the dairy and finds out truth as to what Matt has been hiding and happened to his wife and son(suzanne/nicholas).
    • 2/5
      Maybe it was my mood, but I did not enjoy this book at all. I found the whole baby talk stuff VERY ANNOYING - and I have small children! I couldn't get past it. Now, I'm not heartless and the end floored me, maybe that's why I hated it even more.
    • 3/5
      This is one of those books that I would describe as a "good beach read." It is an easy read and throughout your trying to figure out how its going to end. I really didn't see the end coming at all and it was a tear jerker as well.
    • 5/5
      Make sure you have enough time to finish this book once you start it, because it's very difficult to put down. It's very easy, conversational reading and a great story!
    • 4/5
      I don't read James Patterson books but this one was a gift. I enjoyed it but don't see the need to read any more of his works. Sad story.
    • 2/5
      Got this book at the last minute in an airport book store, on the recommendation of one of the sales staff... Baaad. Not for me but maybe fans of Danielle Steel might like.
    • 5/5
      Very good, held my interest
    • 4/5
      I'm not a sappy person, but I cried the last 50 pages continuously. It's a quick read, but incredibly emotional and well written. I love James Patterson.
    • 4/5
      The lesson of the 5 balls to juggle is one to take and use in one's own life.
    • 5/5
      Very touching book, partly a diary written by a mother to her son. Have lots of tissues ready, as it's a tear jerker.
