Never Too Late by Danielle Steele
I'll be honest, I used to read Danielle Steele books a lot. But the only reason I finished this book was because I had promised a review.
Let me start with the time line. She begins by mentioning Covid, saying five years ago. Which in the reality of trading this book in February of 2024 (even with release date of March) did not add up. Which first took me out of the story. Then she mentions 9/11, which is also indicated was 25 years ago, again, no. So I'm not sure of she was just being arbitrary, but timelines for real world events big me when they aren't right.
And then the ABSOLUTE harping on the differences in the daughters. I just kinda couldn't even, we get it, they are different people, one is bubbly and optimistic and the other is soon and gloom and clearly needs more therapy sessions.
At the core, this was supposed to be a story about finding yourself after <insert trauma here>. But I did not like this book. Things went too fast for some things and could have focused more of developing each character. Pretty sure I'm done with Ms. Steele.
