I know I initially said that I'd wrap up my readings monthly but as I was writing about the books I read this month, it ended up very lengthy so I'll keep doing the usual individual posts. Not that it matters much. Lol.
This is the story of the supermodel Veronique Vincent who is young and is on top of her game. She has everything most women could only dream of: career, wealth and fame. At the moment when she's almost unstoppable, her life broke down around her when she became a victim of a terrorist attack losing her mother and everything she worked hard for. Having gotten used to being looked up for her beauty, Veronique suddenly felt like she had to hide herself from the world. In this book, the reader is taken through Veronique's life after the attack and how she struggled to heal not only her physical wounds but also her grieving heart in order to see that there is more to her than meets the eye.
What I think...
This was my first Danielle Steel book that I am aware of because I may have read a couple of her novels back in the day when I'd just pick up anything that I thought was alright in my grandfather's collection. Anyway, I was really surprised by how easy Danielle Steel's writing style was to get on board with. Although not everyone (or at least I did not) really relate to Veronique's outlook but I think it's very easy to emphatise with what she was going through. The plot is very linear, you don't get to see anything more than Veronique's life and all other characters seem to be just side pieces to the story. There's not much to all other characters except for Veronique...which could be a really good thing if you don't like complexities in a story. There's not much depth to this, but I think this is still a great book even for casual or newbie readers.
