I have never read a bad Danielle Steel book before... This book was very slow and not very intriguig or anything really... I read it but it never spoke to me as her other books all did.. I found this book very boring and not well written... Sorry Mrs. Steel, it is the only book you ever wrote I didn't like... I'd recommend instead reading Tino Georgiou's bestselling novel--The Fates--if you haven't read it yet!
