Reading books like this piss me off because the writing is so bad. It's like reading something I would have written in high school. It could have been about 150 pages shorter with all the extraneous sentences we didn't need. How many times are you going to talk about how they don't look their age?! We get it.
I get pissed off because I should have 360 million copies of books sold since I can write better. Maybe I should read more of Danielle Steel to force me to get off my ass and write something...more

While the writing style is rather basic the three main characters drew me in. This is one of the books that I can delve into because I can visualize the story. Somehow, even knowing the unrealistic nature of these relationships, specially the men, I enjoy the read.
This story is not very heated either, while romance is definitely the feel, there aren’t a lot of sexual descriptive scenes- which I don’t need.
As a romance novel I rate it well.

I think this is my first experience with Danielle Steel. To tell you the truth, I only picked it up because it had to do with Wyoming...Jackson Hole, WY to be exact. I love the Tetons and I think the book described the scenery perfectly. The story wasn't bad, but it was okay.

Good read. I've been out of college for 20 yrs and I still send/receive Christmas cards from my three closest friends. It is so nice to hear from them.
Now, my daughter is a sophomore in college and she has two very close friends. So I can really relate to this book.

I liked the book, good story line. The book let you draw your own conclusions on two of the main characters, yet had a surpising ending on the 3rd main character.
Probably the most recent DS book I have read...got it for a buck at an airport. She still has it...predictable, but they are still entertaining reads!!

Listen to this book on tape. The man does good voices. It's great for long drives when your life lacks drama and you need that of four rather lame women.
First Steel book I have ever read. It actually wasn't that bad but it seemed very dramatic and unlikely to happen in real life. I was surprised with the ending when Bill and Maria ending up getting back together.

I liked this because it was easy to read! She Used to write really really good books! A little leary any more but this one kept me engaged!
I think this may be my last Danielle Steel book. I just can't handle her overwritten books any more! I've ready too many good authors lately...
Nice light summer read. Rather predictable but a few surprises. It moved at a good pace with relatable characters.
It's a great book but wish the ending was different .you will know what I mean when you read it.
3 friends spend 2 weeks at a rench, tell how their lives have been and how thay are changing.
Was really boring in the beginning, but I held on and it ended reaaaallly good.
Totally unrealistic! besides its poorly written,way too repetitive and obviously it wasnt edited!
I went into this book, fully expecting another Danielle Steelishy story - but I have to admit, this one is GOOD! A quick, but engrossing read, for sure. It's about three college friends who got together much later in life, each in a bad position/time of their lives until they went to a ranch together. Major keywords for this book - Friendships. Love or Second Chances at Love. Women. Esteem. Mid-age. Health.Acceptance. Love. (did I say that again!? ) If you are in the mood for those kind of stori...more
This was difficult to read because it's so very poorly written; there's no editing, the style is almost oral storytelling, as if she wrote it directly from dictation with no changes whatsoever. The plot is obvious, with a completely unreal ending, and all tied up in a neat little package end. Yuck--hence 0 stars.
Now I can honestly say I've read a Danielle Steel.

I read a long a time ago. It was a very good book.
Loved this book & read lots of her books after this one.
This story is sooo sad! A Dr contracts aids from a patient via getting "pricked" by a dirty needle she used for his meds...the book talks about her and 3 or 4 best friends visiting a guest ranch in wyoming for a vacation, and how supportive everyone is of her...
ok beach read. it actually surprised me at the end.
This was a good book, enjoyed it very much.
The 1st book of Steel's that I read.
One of the first books I read by d.s.
Typical Danielle Steel.

Since 1981, Ms. Steel has been a permanent fixture on the New York Times hardcover and paperback bestseller lists. In 1989, she was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having at least one of her books on the Times bestseller list for 381 consecutive weeks. But Guinness was premature. The fact is that one or more of Ms. Steel's novels have been on the New York Times bestseller list for...more
