Finding Ashley by Danielle Steel
3.0
I have read every Danielle Steel romance story. Some have been better than others. This one falls in the top half. A female writer is living her best life when tragedy strikes. She leaves her marriage, city life, and the public spotlights and lives under the radar in the Berkshires in Massachusetts.
If you have read a Danielle Steel book before, you know that the main character will meet someone, meet some challenge(s), and then things will fall into place before she lives happily ever after. I’m not knocking the story. It is a good formula and is written well.
I do want to caution anyone who may be a conservative Catholic. They may be a little put out by how the Church is portrayed, but it really isn’t anything that hasn’t been in the media. Also, in addition to references to the Catholic Church, there is also another character’s story grounded in the #MeToo movement. You might think that this is a lot for one book, but it really does come together and make sense.
If you’re looking for a book to take your mind of things, as usual, this book will do the trick.
