Yeah…this one had a kick to it.

A beautiful love story with reminders to really cherish the things that matter. I love how he points out the small moments that make life beautiful, that taking the risk of trust and love is always worth it.

I read through to the end....so that's worth something 2⭐️s

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolute tear jerker, heartbreaking and full of love and compassion!

I cant remember how or why i came about this book the first time i read it, which was many many years ago. I recently reread it, and it still haunts me.

This is quite a chicky book, I am not one to read chic lit, but this book possessed me, again, this is a no spoiler review, and its hard to say much without revealing the story. But this book destroyed me when it ended. I cried on a level not seen since Marley and Me. I cried for Suzanne, I cried for Nicholas, I cried for every character. I highly recommend it, if your thinking of passing it over because its a chic lit, please dont, yes its a relationship story, but its a life lesson. Its sheer brilliance. Nothing more, nothing less.

Tužna i bolna priča sa sretnim završetkom.

This book. Oh, I was torn in pieces by this book in ways that I did not expect to be, especially since I was so used to reading James Patterson’s suspense and detective novels! I never imagined that he could write something so poignant, so beautiful. So breathtaking. So heart-wrenching. As a young mother with a one-year-old son at the time when I read this book, I think I sobbed uncontrollably for quite some time because I was so affected by the book. Even thinking back to the time I read it touches the deepest parts of my heart.

I remember reading this book in the span of several hours, staying up late into the middle of the night as the pages just quickly unfolded with the amazing love of Suzanne for her baby Nicholas, the story of Suzanne’s love for her husband Matt, and the love of the new parents for their baby son. And of course, with the story of the newfound love between Katie and Matt and how profoundly Katie was affected by reading this diary. It’s a novel that is at its very heart layers and layers of a love story, or more accurately, represents a circle of unbroken and unequivocal love between all the characters that is best understood only by reading the book.

Again, as a mother, it was a hard read, but such a loving read to “hear” Suzanne’s voice in the diary and know that above all else she wanted to be known as a mother and for her son to remember her that way. It touched such a cord with me and if nothing else, that is what I want to be remembered for: a mother who proudly and fiercely loves her children since anything else pales in comparison, so I felt Suzanne’s desire to write and keep writing to her son long after the story ended.

But the book is more than about Suzanne’s love for her baby, it was her story to Katie as well, which was so intense, but so loving. There are twists in the book, but it wouldn’t be a Patterson book without them, and I certainly will not spoil them! All I will say is this is one of the most emotionally heavy books that I have read. I cannot say how beautiful and touching Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas is enough. Highly recommended even for non-readers of James Patterson as he certainly shines here!

Wandering about the house, looking for something new, I noticed 'Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas' tucked amongst a pile of other books. I figured why not, and picked it up. I was turned off immediately by seeing it was written by James Patterson (I have to wonder, who in my family keeps bringing this drivel into my home?) but I was bored, and there was nothing else that I have yet to read that looked any more (or less) promising.

In a nutshell, this was an entirely forgettable book which would probably make good beach-reading material. I read it in one sitting, not necessarily because I was drawn in by the story, but more so because I was bored and it was raining today. It was a mediocre book at best, one I would neither loan nor borrow, but I've read worse.

The biggest problem for me is that this book is written by a man. Bear with me! It's written by a man, who is trying to write for a female audience, and I'm sorry buddy, but it ain't working for me. Suzanne was one-note, and while she had a rough time of it, I can't help but feel like Katie was a one-note dolt. Even the 'surprise' ending made me roll my eyes. I'm not saying men can't write for a female audience, but sheesh. I can tell he wanted this to be a combination bodice-ripper and tear-jerker; it failed for me at any rate.

I'd rate it as a don't bother.

one of my VERY favorites. Not a usual mystery/thriller from Patterson, this is a love story.

Okay - it's official - I'm a James Patterson fan. This is the second book I've read by him, and both were such a pleasure to read! Well, maybe "pleasure" isn't the right word for this book - it was sad - but it was so good! It was a simple book - so if you are looking for literary award winner - this probably isn't it. But, if you're looking for a great quick read - then give this book a try.

I highly recommend this book to everyone.

The only thing that I don't necessarily like about the two Patterson books I've read is the formatting of the pages and the chapters. It's done in such a way that realistically - you are getting WAY LESS pages to read than what it appears to be at first glance. So, if you are a fast reader, this book won't last you long. I finished it in a matter of hours.

The fact that this book has so many positive reviews boggles my mind. It is nonsensical that this is a bestseller.
