La historia es sencilla y fácil de leer, Trata temas modernos y actuales ,no está nada mal, Siempre disfrutó de sus libros, Tengo que empezar aclarando que tengo una relación amorodio con esta autora, Pero este libro me decepcionó mucho, . Creo que trató de poner muchos temas,en un libro corto, Por un lado la protagonista Coco que tenía su vida tal cual la quería y se había alejado de todo lo relacionado con la fama que tenían sus padres.
Pero por ser complaciente con su hermana acepta hacer algo sin previo aviso, Además de ser ninguneada por su hermana y su madre, Y de la noche a la mañana conoce a Leslie un ACTOR FAMOSO,y se enamora en solohoras y se están jurando AMOR ETERNO, Su madre y su hermana mayor son dos arpías en los primeros capítulos, Pero de acuerdo a como avanza la historia,cambian más por beneficio propio, que por darse cuenta de que estaban haciendo o actuando mal.
Coco se da cuenta que no está echa para el mundo de Leslie cuando ella sabía como era, Pero como tiene que pasar vuelven a estar juntos,porque comprendió que había cometido un error al dejarlo, Pero lo reconoció porque ÉL fue a buscarla, I've read Danielle Steel since I was a teenager and have read every book she's written, I enjoy them because they're entertaining and fast to get through, The writing isn't great, the storylines are fairly predictable and cookie cutter and there's not much depth to the characters, but I enjoy them as a break from more serious reading.
Une bonne lecture avec un happy end habituel, L'histoire d'amour entre Leslie et Coco, deux personnes que tous opposent, est inattendue, Entre les hauts et les bas, l'amour triomphe toujours, Finally made it through my last book by this author, I know she's a favorite of millions, I'm sure her stories give them give them a sense of "happily ever after" that we all like but to me her writing is nothing but literary potato chips.
A big salty and crunchy with zero long term value, The jacket touts this as a story of three "real couples" a mega movie star and his lady love who'syears younger, her famous author mother and her boy toy who is over twenty years younger and finally the gay sister and her longterm partner.
If this is "real," please give me more fiction, More thanpages of weak dialog and description, completely predictable storyline based on shallow characters and word pictures that are worse than paintbynumber efforts.
I am rethinking potato chips more like pork rinds, I hope I never have to consume another one, Sorry to be harsh but there are too many incredible authors out there writing amazing stories to waste precious time reading drivel When Colette Coco Barrington was growing up, she was surrounded by the Hollywood lifestyle, with her father in the movie business and her mother a mega bestselling author.
It is no surprise that her older sister Jane also grows up to join the movie game as a top producer.
But Coco wants nothing to do with that life, After graduating from Princeton, she begins law school at Stanford, but drops out and creates a dog walking business, A way to enjoy life on her terms, Unfortunately, her family disapproves, and even though her father is now dead, her mother and sister miss no opportunity to show how much they cannot understand her choices.
Jane is also a bit of a bully, treating Coco like a recalcitrant child, whom she somehow wrangles into housesitting when she and her partner Liz go to New York.
Their home in San Francisco is gorgeous, and should be a treat, But Coco is still frustrated by how her sister always manages to get her way, and is then stunned to meet an unexpected houseguest someone she recognizes from the movies.
Movie star Leslie Baxter is even more handsome in person, and before she knows it, Coco and he are involved in a passionate love affair.
From this point on, the story can conceivably only go in one direction, The two will meet obstacles along the way, have a few disagreements about the lifestyle, and may even part for a bit.
But there will definitely be some kind of happy ending, since this is a romance novel, Even knowing this, I did enjoy the story, with the descriptions of beautiful settings, scenes, clothing, and jewels, The glitz and glamor that Steel can present to the readers is as predictable as the plot, Because I did like the lighter fare for a change, I'm giving "One Day at a Time: A Novel",stars.
A autora tem sempre um modo especial de narrar a sua história sem tornála aborrecida ou desinteressante, Este livro diz que o amor não é improvável seja qual for a situação e, apesar de, às vezes vivermos em mundos opostos não significa que não dê certo.
Fala também da família que pode ser o nosso ponto forte mas também pode ser o ponto fraco e que podem ser quem nos ajuda ou quem nos manda a baixo.
Generic but interesting romance tale of Coco, a dog walker who has rejected her Hollywood heritage, having to share a house with the worlds most famous movie star.
Somewhat limited characterisations and story arcs, yet still good enough to read in three sittings!out of,
Um resultado que já seria de esperar, . Mas quase que fiquei emocionada com o final,
Danielle Steel não desilude, Only made it aboutpages into this one and already I felt as though I could predict the whole story, kind of a cheesy love story right from the start, Don't get me wrong, I like a good love story but this was just not my style, While I did enjoy this for the most part, I found some bits were repetitive, Almost like the author had forgotten that they had already said the exact same thing a few pages back, just in different words.
Despite this I did still enjoy the story and found myself relating to Coco in a few ways, Some of the characters annoyed me at times, mostly Coco's mother and sister, However they did grow through the story and I was able to appreciate them much more towards the end, All in all it was a cute story despite being a tad repetitive, Of all the Danielle Steele books I have read, this by far was my favorite,
This book is about a girl different from her family and gets belitted from them bacause of this, She meets a man and falls in love a difficult step for her, She learns to finally stand up for herself and overcome her fears in relationship, Of course the ending is a happily ever after, Coco Barrington was born into a Hollywood lifestyle, Her mother was a bestselling romance novelist and her father who died from a stroke four years ago was a literary dramatic agent.
And Coco's sister, Jane is a really successful film producer, Coco's had been a disappointment to her mother ever since she dropped out of law school, Coco spends her days as a dog walker until her sister offers her to house sit in her lavish San Francisco house.
At first Coco doesn't want to go, but eventually she agrees to do it,
Coco was prepared for a
Jane's unexpected houseguest, Leslie Baxter, He was attempting to get away from his psycho exgirlfriend, Coco found Leslie to be an attractive and easy to get along with type of person, But in time could she begin to have feelings for Leslie
It's been a while since I've read Danielle Steel and I must say I didn't love this book, but I did like it.
A light and easy read which I'm sure will be enjoyed by most Danielle Steel fans,
I found this to be a lovely romantic story, Ok, so Danielle Steel is what started me on my reading journey ofyears way back when, I had never read a "romance" novel until I was a young mother at home with several little ones and seemed to need some downtime, while everyone was napping.
I have been one to take a "nap" so reading was perfect,
A friend loaned me a Danielle Steel book current then in the's and I really enjoyed it, I was a permanent feature at the library checking out her books and liking each one,
NOW . .years later, I read one of Steele's book after reading hundreds of others from other authors maybe a thousand, anyway, I was kind of surprised.
Her writing is so redundant, I read and reread the same "thought" or "feeling" or "portrayal" over and over in her plot line in the same book.
She would state something and restate it, liketimes, Is is just me, or is there a lot of redundancy
Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about plots that have been done before, but.
the same thing said over and over, in a slightly different way, in the book,
Onlyfrom me this time, Danielle, sorry, I have "evolved" I guess, I expect more from my authors, Un libro muy entretenido y divertido que cuenta una historia muy bonita, Aunque en él hay algunos momentos que son un poco duros,
Como siempre viene haciendo Danielle Steel nos sorprende cada día más con las historias que nos cuenta en cada uno de sus libros.
I haven't read a Danielle Steel novel for many years and having been given this one, decided to give it a go.
I was extremely disappointed! The opportunity to make this an exciting love story was passed by and a bland, uninteresting, repetitious effort produced instead.
I won't go into the plot as other readers have done that, I don't know where Ms Steel's editor helped, but he or she certainly wasn't alert, Countless repetitions about how Coco's sister hated her and bullied her sometimes this was rehashed a couple of times on the one page.
Coco didn't want to be entangled with a hot movie star, but she did anyway, At the first sign of something she didn't like, she bolted, The cliche "adult" Hollywood child was included, Honestly, I preferred the dogs, at least they were natural!
The writing was uninspiring certainly no words of too many syllables were used rendering the style simplistic and teenagerish.
I strongly suspect that this novel was published because Ms Steel is who she is rather than on the merits of the novel.
lRead this for ARRT genre study, Hated it. The thing that amazes me most about this book was the list of "other books by this author, " Who is reading this crp
The story itself could have been mildly interesting but the writing was so awful that every few paragraphs I "noticed" the writing as in, "that's the worst sentence I've every read" or "didn't she just use the exact same words to describe the exact same thing on the prior page"
If this book is a true representation of Danielle Steel, then I guess the old adage holds: never underestimate the taste of Americans.
