Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. I threw the book multiple times and bawled for days aftereard. Didn’t help I was pregnant when I read it.
@Ashley I did a little googling and couldn’t find anything that said it was made up. I did find one article that said it “might be fake” but nothing else. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of A Million Little Pieces by James Fray? He went on oprah saying that some aspects of his book were embellished
@Becky – I highly recommend it! I spent an hour on Booktube watching several people’s 2018 wrap-ups and they ALL raved about this book so I decided to read it….I have absolutely no regrets!!
Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. My son was a baby and I was pregnant with my daughter at the time so I was a complete mess. My son is currently reading it for school and I’m still not ready to revisit it.

@Terri actually there was a whole lawsuit about him making it up
@Terri I had to read that book for a psych class. I hated it because his story was so horrifying.
@Ashley oh my God you’re joking! That’s terrible if he did
@Terri he said it himself on oprah
I loved that book and my heart was broken when I found out
@Ashley I did a little googling and couldn’t find anything that said it was made up. I did find one article that said it “might be fake” but nothing else. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of A Million Little Pieces by James Fray? He went on oprah saying that some aspects of his book were embellished
@Toya yeah it was shocking & definitely stays with you
@Christina I had a quick look & couldn’t find anything either. A few reviews saying that they think it’s faked. Hopefully it’s not the case
If it’s Dave Pelzer’s book (I read it as “A child called it”, I could not cry, I was too stunned and sickened, left me feeling horrible for weeks), then : https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/28/magazine/dysfunction-for-dollars.html
