This is the first Danielle Steel book I read. I was probably 12 and thinking back it was probably too mature for me, but I still remember the story and have gone back and read it many times since then.I read this for genre discussion at work. What a steaming pile of shit. Good riddance.
The first book by Steel I've ever read. The feelings are ambiguous. The book seemed to be total trash in the beginning. The main protagonist Gillian pissed me off, I must admit, mainly because of her strange attitude to love and relations between men and women. I was perplexed and puzzled at how she kept forgiving that badass Chris who was cheating on her continuously. There were other men around who could make her happy and she kept dragging behind that Chrissy-boy and ruining her life to
I first read this in high school. Back then, I thought it was amazing. I was young and naive. Well, I recently decided to read it again and honestly, I can't believe I adored it the way I did. I found myself annoyed with the main character more than anything.I give it to Steel. She is amazing with words. She knows how to make you not want to put her books down. She knows how to make you laugh and cry. But this book doesn't justify Steel's abilities one bit. I would really like to read one of her
This is probably the only Danielle Steel novel I would ever consider re-reading.
Unfortunately this was the book I threw into my purse before a Dr appointment. I had over a 2 hour wait and only had this terrible book to read. Why any publishing house would sign Danielle Steele after reading this manuscript is beyond me. I have read several authors first books many times and none as horrible as this one. The only reason I finished this garbage was to get credit for my GoodReads challenge.
This book is listed as Danielle Steel's first novel and I wasn't sure if I had read it already and seeing that I want to read them all, I dove right in. You can definitely tell what time period it was written in, late seventies, but the story is still a good one. I found myself rooting for the main characters and yelling in my hear when they didn't do things the way I thought they should. I laughed and cried and got carried away and isn't that the whole point? Recommend to anyone who likes drama
