The book had an interesting plot and journey for the characters. It kept my attention as I wondered and thought about them. However, in many places the events that allowed other events to transpire were pretty unrealistic and unlikely. (I am trying to avoid spoilers). There were places where something would have happened as part of the process that would have changed things. I suppose that one could then say, What is the fun in that? Ignoring that and the predictability of Danielle Steel books and knowing that one reads Ms Steel for a certain kind of book, I was disappointed with the ending. I kept looking at how many pages were left and getting more and more disappointed at what that had to mean about the depth and complexity of the ending. It felt very rushed. They had gone through so much and it all just came to a conclusion in a few paragraphs. I wanted more. ( )

In the last year I have just started reading Danielle Steels books and I am still having trouble with the fact that every book ends the same way. Happily Ever After! I agree this was a page turner but by the middle of the book we all knew what the outcome was gonna be. I expected more on this one. ( )

I'm not one for romance novels, but this grabbed my attention from page 1 and kept it at a frenzied page turning pace until the end. A beautifully written tear jerker. ( )

I read this book forever ago when I was a teenager and still remember it well. The tragic romance was well-written and heartbreaking. The characters were very memorable. More cotton candy! ( )

I read this book years ago; it was a popular title with the girls at school - we all found it quite heartbreaking and romantic. I still remember the story after all this time, so the author must have done something right, though. It made an impression unlike many other books I read during this time period. Young sweethearts vow to be together forever, but when one of them is involved in a life-changing car crash, their lives take a far different turn than they'd expected. Will they ever be able to be together? ( )
