The audiobook narrator is male, which really surprised me. He did a good job, but the main characters are female so it felt a bit off. A quick listen, the story wasn’t too dramatic, and parts had me rolling my eyes.

Daddy’s Girls by Danielle Steel has sisters, Kate, Caroline, and Gemma reeling when their bigger-than-life father suddenly passes away. The three diverse sisters each had a different relationship with their father. Caroline was happy to escape the family ranch when she went to college. She is now married with two children and rarely visits. Gemma is an actress and the apple of her father’s eye. Kate is her father’s right-hand lady. She loves the ranch and could not imagine living anywhere else. When the ladies go through their father’s paper, they find a surprising discovery. The three sisters grapple with this new revelation and decide how they should proceed. It gives the sisters a chance to become closer and discover who they are without their father.
Daddy’s Girls is a light contemporary novel featuring three dissimilar sisters. Each of them had a different relationship with their father who was large and in charge. Their father moved them from Texas when they were all under four to California. JT, their father, eventually came to own 10,000 acres in Santa Ynez Valley, California. Kate loves the ranch and has ideas to improve it, but her father is the one in control. Gemma left at eighteen for Hollywood where she is now the lead actress on a television series. Gemma has a temperament just like JT and has no qualms about sharing her views with him. Caroline loved to read from a young age. She felt that her father did not understand her and ignored her. Caroline could not wait to escape the ranch and find culture in the city. She is happily married with two children of her own and writes young adult novels. They rarely visit despite having their own home on the ranch. With JT’s death, the three sisters must go through their father’s papers and belongings. Papers in the safe send them on a journey. I thought the story contained Danielle Steel’s trademark writing, but I did feel that the story was expected. It is easy to figure out how each sisters story will play out. There was quite a bit of repetition of details. Daddy’s Girls has a lovely feel good ending. I was, though, disappointed with how Caroline’s story turned out. It seemed like a step back for Caroline. Daddy’s Girls is a feel-good novel that was a good break for me from other types of books that I read. Daddy’s Girls is a lovely respite from reality and a relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

It was just OK. Predictable, but nice. She repeats phrases too many times.

This book took me a little longer to read mainly because I was busy but it had such a good ending! Loved it!

This was a nice, light story about 3 sisters and the impact their father had on their lives. I enjoyed that it was a light read to pass the time, though parts were repetitive throughout.
My other nitpick is that I wish the audio was read by a female instead of a male; only for the fact that the main characters are all female. I think it would have made the content a little more enjoyable

As only Danielle can do, an emotional and heartbreaking novel about secrets, sisters and life as ugly as it can be at times.
Three sisters totally different are thrown together by their fathers death so sudden and unexpected. One is a Hollywood star, another a mom and wife and the third her father's daughter that stuck around to run the ranch with him. Neither of them really knew the man though. What follows is an epic saga of discovery.

I just loved the cover and well I’m a sucker for a pretty cover. The story of a family with tons of love and tons of secrets is how I would describe this book without giving anything away. I fell in love with this family and laughed and cried with them. A great read. #daddysgirls #netgalley
