A five star read until literally the last 20 pages. A book that just hit at the right time with friendships and how they change
J'ai le même problème qu'avec Scrupules, un autre livre de Danielle Steel, ça se lit comme un documentaire et tout s'enchaîne très/trop vite. Mais bon, c'était une lecture rapide.
would love to give this more than 5 stars. it was a hard to put down book. You will laugh cry and get aggravated but will want to continue reading it because you have to know what is going to happen next.

Had higher hopes for this book, didn't turn out how I expected and pretty depressing
Nope. Nope. Nope. Search for a new palate cleansing author fail. Her first book I read was not so bad. This one was terrible. Let me create 5 friends who meet in kindergarten and spend their whole lives together. Then, let me kill them all off, 1 by 1 at a terribly young age to shock everyone! No. Just, no. Also, I find this author to be very repetitive in her writing. She will say the same thing 2 or 3 different ways, sometimes within the same paragraph. It is incredibly odd to me. I am reading and thinking, "Ms. Steel... I already know that. Move on." Definitely a pass for me.
The tragedy in this book is overflowing. The only issue I have with the reoccurring tragic events is that the characters who ended up biting the bullet, well, they didn't have too much depth to them. So the deaths were just sad due to the fact that they were deaths. However, that didn't define my outlook on this book. I loved Izzy as a character and how she grows. I love how it starts to focus on her as the book carries on. You go from following 800 characters to following one main character. I liked it as we progressed through the book. Not bad at all.
Friends forever by Danielle Steel
Izzy, Gabby, Billy, Shawn and Andy are friends throughout the years (k through 12) at the prestigiuos private school.
Better chance to get in if you had another sibling there already. Services also offered physiological help and help with colleges.
Story follows the parents and their lives. Very confusing to me because there are so many of them.
What I do like about this book is the pact they make in 2nd grade and how many different situations they go through.
Like hearing of the older children, infants and parents lives.
Tragedies occur when they are older as they thought they were invincilbe.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
