This is a Hard Hitting Women's Fiction. This is all about a top Model being in a terrorist attack, and her whole world gets turned upside down. Her surviving the terrorist attack is the first thing, but now she has to learn to live with what she as lifted over. I love the characters in this book. I love how Danielle Steel's can cover something so hard hitting with beautiful writing, and it being easy to read. This book will touch your heart so much. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Delacorte Press) or author (Danielle Steel) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book.

Four and a half stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒

Beautiful by Danielle Steel is a fast-paced book about one woman who has it all.
But, when a woman whose whole life is based on her beauty, what happens when she loses it all?

Veronique Vincent is an international model who is at the top of her game. She travels the world as one of the most sought-out models in the world. She loves her life and knows she can’t be a model forever. Her mother has managed her career and saved her money and invested it wisely. Veronique’s best friend is her mother, who is a successful lawyer and also lives in Paris.

When she travels to Brussels with her mother, a tragedy ensues that changes her life forever. How can Veronique move on without all that she has held so dear all her life?

This book started off quickly and I was drawn into this world immediately and read this book all in one sitting. In previous Danielle Steel books, she starts off a bit slow with an info dump, but this didn’t happen in this book. There are only a few characters in this book, but they are all well developed and interesting. The story never dragged, and I enjoyed the author’s descriptions of Paris and Angola.

There is a little bit of romance in this book, but it’s mostly about Veronique and her journey as she adjusts to her new life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves women’s fiction. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A quick fill in on a day off. Nothing much to talk about here, the usual DS. A rich family, successful career, a disaster, a recovery, leading to a happy ending. The character development is quite weak, though always very French. Good choice for a day of chores and getting other things done. Good company for chores.

The narrator was actually good this time around, a cheeky Irish accent thrown in. Which was a bit odd, the Irish character was meant to be a friend of the protagonist, but he was thrown in randomly, serving no purpose, only to be clearly stated as ‘not a love interest’.

I listened to this via the Libby app and my public library. As always a good mix between my serious reads.

I used to love Danielle Steel books when I was younger. This is the first one I have read in years and it seemed rather formalic to me. The story has a good message but was rather boring at times.

‘Her beauty was a given before, and now it had been stolen from her.’

The true meaning of beauty underscores global bestseller Danielle Steel’s latest release. When a supermodel is struck down by a tragedy, she must accept her fate. With self-acceptance, love, heartbreak, resilience and determination surrounding this new novel from the bestselling author, Beautiful explores the theme of physical attractiveness.

Meet Veronique Vincent. One of the world’s top supermodels, Veronique is a renowned celebrity in the fashion industry. Despite treading the catwalk and posing for magazine spreads, Veronique is happy to live her life away from the public eye. Veronique is a woman who prefers the company of her boyfriend over lavish parties. When a break comes up in her schedule after fashion week, Veronique decides to make a quick escape. But this move proves to be fatal as an explosion at the Brussels airport sends Veronique’s life into a state of disarray. As Veronique learns to accept that her life has irrevocably changed, she must overcome the challenges of being placed in hospital after the terrorist attack that took away her previous life. With loss and grief consuming her, Veronique must learn to live again.

I have been reading Danielle Steel books for a number of years now and I enjoy passing on her novels to my step mum to read as she is a big fan of the popular author’s work. Beautiful has a striking and bold cover that immediately caught my eye. I liked the idea of such a relevant, timely and pointed novel about the construction of beauty being a central topic of examination. The bones were there with this one, but I don’t think it was executed that well.

Glamour, glitz, fashion, love, adoration, power and the world of the celebrity forms much of the narrative of Beautiful. With additional topics on injury, terrorism, travel, family, secrets, heartbreak, strength, self-acceptance, humanity, kindness and reinvention all coming into play in this story, Danielle Steel has composed a strong thematic tale. The start-up of Beautiful is typical Danielle Steel territory. Beautiful features a slow start and it is followed some rather information heavy prose. Unfortunately there is little exploration of a decent storyline. Beautiful had potential and I liked the message that Danielle Steel was trying to convey, but it just didn’t come across that well in my eyes.

Veronique the supermodel is the lead of this new Danielle Steel yarn. I felt some sympathy for Steel’s main protagonist, as her journey was quite heartbreaking as well as emotional. I think there was definitely room for further expansion of the feelings of this woman and her heartfelt experiences. Steel seems to scratch the surface only. Beautiful does not feature an overly wide cast, so it is easy to stay on track . I would turn to Beautiful if you are need of a light and undemanding read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book.

The basic synopsis is this: supermodel Veronique Vincent Is heavily injured during a terrorist attack in Brussels and loses her mom and boyfriend. She has to learn to live with losing her mom, her career, and her beauty. This book was a phone it in, barely-there plot if I have ever read one. Nothing of note or interest even happens until 85% through the book. and even then it's rushed. This book felt more like an outline of an actual story than anything substantial. I don't know anything about the main character except she's beautiful...or was until half her face was scarred. The majority of the book is just about her face and her not being conventionally beautiful anymore. The number of times the title is used on the page is ridiculous. Please don't do this as a drinking game, you won't make it.

What annoys me most about this book is not only the repetition but the fact that it' takes a very serious, heartbreaking subject and turns it into inane, vapid fodder. I should have felt such empathy for this character, but I felt nothing. I know Steel can make you feel things for characters, she's written some lovely stories that will rip your heart out. This isn't one of them. Instead, it is a girl feeling sorry for herself because she can't be a model anymore. There are some lame, half-formed platitudes about beauty being subjective or internal, but let's be real...she' feels her life sucks because her face is damaged. She's ashamed of her scars because they make her feel less perfect. Sure, there are subplots in there, but they do nothing to flesh out the story. I didn't feel any of the trauma or depression she would have felt in this situation.

This was a lovely novel. It was sadly timely as well. Beautiful Veronique, a top fashion model, faces a frightening injury when she and her beloved mother are caught in a terrorist bombing in Brussels. Despite surviving, her beauty is a fatality when she is painfully scarred on her face and body. She has lost it all, her mother, her beauty and her career, but not her determination.

But, after her mother’s death she finally learns the identity of her father and comes to a shocking and sweet discovery about love and family. She also becomes involved in helping others, through a fluke connection with her surgeon. I found myself teary as I made the journey with Veronique from devastation to hope.

This novel truly teaches the value of compassion and inner beauty. Veronique is a special heroine and I really enjoyed her story.

Thank you Netgalley for a very touching novel, which I truly enjoyed.

This is my 43rd book by Danielle Steel and as always, I always look forward to her new books . A supermodel’s whole world comes crashing down when a tourist attack happens right where her mother, her bf and she is. She barely survives this whole ordeal with lots of surgeries to make her whole again. Will she recover 100%? Heartbreaking what Veronique went through! I devoured this book in a day and really enjoyed it! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review.

At the start of Beautiful, twenty-two year old Veronique Vincent’s life takes a horrific turn. While in the Belgian airport, there is a terrorist attack which kills her mother and the man she is dating. Originally thought by the rescuers to have been killed, she survives but has sustained critical internal and external injuries. The damage to her face abruptly ends her career as one of the world’s most beautiful models. Her famous face will never grace the covers of the fashion magazines again. Lost without her mother, Veronique has to find a way to rebuild her life. A letter left by her mother, to be opened upon her death, provides some shocking information that sends Veronique from Paris to New York City.

Famous for creating strong, heroic female characters, author Danielle Steel has done it again. This time, the subject of beauty is addressed. How does someone move forward after losing the beauty that had defined them? Can inner beauty replace what physical beauty may have been lost? The author based this story on the real-life 2016 terrorist bombings at the Brussels Airport in Zaventem and the Maalbeek metro station. It’s a relative short, fast-paced book that offers a heartfelt story. I enjoyed it.

Many thanks to Delacorte Press | Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read Beautiful in advance of its April 19, 2022 publication.

Rated 3.75 stars.

This is the first Danielle Steel book I read and I regret reading it and I am glad I have never read any of her books. Not sure what the point of the book is - an extremely beautiful model with fantastic personality lost all she loved and her look from a tourist attack. How she found herself again through other's affirmation of how she is still beautiful, blah blah blah. She is also rich enough so no financial struggles for not working for months. She is a bastard child of a US senator so she patched things up with him after the terrorist attack before he died and received inheritance. I wonder why I continue to read it throughout and very annoyed with the writer for putting out books like this. Repeated or paraphrased the simple premise from one chapter to another. I keep waiting for something to happen, but nothing. Of course, she accept who she was and found love again in the end. Argh...I don't recommend it, not even for fun/pleasure reading as it gives me no pleasure, but annoyance. DO NOT recommend!

[Kristina Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful by Danielle Steel has Veronique Vincent, an in-demand model, getting caught in an explosion at Brussels Zaventem Airport. Veronique survives the bombing, but she has severe damage that includes her face. Her mother and boyfriend do not survive. After spending months in the local military hospital undergoing numerous surgeries, Veronique is released. Veronique must decide what she is going to do with her life now that she can no longer model. Her mother left her a letter that reveals some surprising news. Veronique has some important decisions to make. Beautiful is a story about a woman who suffers a terrible tragedy and how she manages to overcome it. I thought Beautiful was well-written with steady pacing. Danielle Steel handles a difficult subject beautifully. A terrorist attack forever alters Veronique Vincent’s life plus she loses the person closest to her in the world, her mother. With Veronique’s face forever changed, she can no longer model. Modeling has been her world for the last four years. Veronique needs to discover who she is who she and how to move forward without her mother as well as her career. Veronique also learns that her mother told her a lie about something significant and she needs to decide if she will act on the news. Beautiful is an emotional story. Veronique goes on a journey of self-discovery. She finds a way to turn devastation into something wonderful. People focus too much on outer beauty which can fade, but inner beauty lasts forever. I like that we get to see something good come from a tragic event. I enjoyed reading Beautiful. It is an emotional novel that left me feeling hopeful. Beautiful is a touching tale with an in-demand model, haute couture clothes, plethora of parties, a terrorist attack, a series of surgeries, a surprising secret, inward reflection, and shifting gears for a helpful future.

Beautiful by Danielle Steel is one of her better books in the last 10 years. Was it great? Nope. But at least it had likable characters. Veronique was a heroine I could root for. Sure, she had a lot of money and privilege that made her situation easier than the normal person, but I still rooted for her.

I have to admit that I got annoyed by the first chapters. I said aloud, "My god, yet another Danielle Steel book set in Paris, a beautiful model, blah, blah, blah." And then a few pages later, I said, "Jesus Christ, yet another terrorist attack in one of her fucking books." In a lot of her books recently, she has terrorist attacks. It's beyond weird, and I am getting sick of reading her books with terrorist attacks happening.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and finished it in just one day. What stood out to me was that it deviated from Danielle Steel's usual style of writing. Lately, many of her books have focused on superficial aspects such as physical appearance, fashion, and romantic relationships. However, in this particular book, Danielle Steel explored the life of a woman whose face and circumstances were dramatically altered. While the psychological effects of Veronique's experience could have been further explored, it's important to note that Danielle Steel's writing style typically doesn't delve into deep psychological themes like authors such as Kristin Hannah or Jodi Picoult. Nonetheless, it's refreshing that Danielle Steel didn't fall into the trap of writing another shallow story.

This was a very inspiring story and really makes you grateful for everything you have. One of the best DS books in a while.

[Baroness · Rating 1 out of 5]

Repetitive and monotonous.

[Loren · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are two authors that I attribute my love of reading to. The first is Beverly Cleary. I used to lock myself in my room on Saturday's and immerse myself in Ramona Quimby and Henry Huggins along with their friends and families. These books introduced me to the feeling of other worldliness - the experience of leaving your own room and entering another's.

The second author is Danielle Steel. I often have to defend my passion for her stories. Some find her writing style too bland and repetitive. Both of these critiques are accurate but for me that's part of her charm. I can count on every book to contain relatable characters. They will face physical, mental or moral challenges that speak to all of us. Steel is a master of drawing the reader in - I cry through each book.

Beautiful is a great example of her style. A story about a famous French fashion model who is a victim of a dirty bomb explosion in an airport. She survives but is left with deep facial scars on the right side of her face. Her career as a model is over but she discovers that she is more than a face for others to enjoy looking at.

Beautiful isn't going to win any literary awards but it provided 3 1/2 hours of comfort food for my soul❣️

[Debbie · Rating 1 out of 5]

I shall summarize the plot of this book for you:

*Beautiful
*Beautiful
*Rich
*Bomb
*Not beautiful, but still rich
*Sad about no longer being beautiful
*Formerly beautiful
*Not beautiful
*Still sad about not being beautiful, but still rich
*Used to be beautiful
*Accepting about not being beautiful
*Still rich
*Happy ending

Another repetitive and repetitive and repetitive DS book (I am convinced that an editor could have condensed this book from 239 pages to 75 tops). And an editor would not have let DS name a character, albeit a minor one, Dr. Moreau. And an editor would know that anyone traveling to Angola would need vaccines (malaria, hepatitis, etc).

Don’t waste your time on this crap.

“What’s ugly is that human beings do things like that to each other. That’s the ugly part. The scars are just proof that you were there.”

Famous fashion supermodel Veronique Vincent is badly injured in a terrorist bombing and is left all know beauty has many forms. This is the lesson she learns. She is a fantastic, resilient, brave character and you can’t help but cheer her on!

Fans of Danielle Steel will love this book. There was a line at the end of this book “ I want to do some good and put some love back in the world instead of all that hate “. I can’t think of a better book to start 2022 or a better message !

By Danielle Steel
Release Date 04/19/2022

I’ve been a long-time fan of Mrs. Steele since the ’90s. She has written 190 books. YES, say that to yourself again 190. Her first book was released in 1973, and to this day she’s releasing 2-5 books each year. I’d love to have that many stories locked up in my brain , what an admirable woman.


Veronique Vincent is a stunning model. She started at 18, and for the past, years she has been the star of every show at fashion week. She’s a household name and recognized everywhere she goes. She’s planned a much-needed weekend with her mother, and her somewhat BF Cyril is taking them to the airport one morning to head out. A few mins after arriving, three terrorist bombs go off just feet from them, instantly killing her friend Cyril and her mother. She’s put in a medical coma and stays that way for some time. Once she’s awakened, she’s alone in a hospital. Half her face is the same on one side, and the other isn’t. It’s almost like the famous Phantom of the Opera; she suffered the same demise. A deformity, if you will to one side. Once she is well enough, her mother's Law partner brings the will to her, and much to surprise, her mothers left quite an estate on top of a life changing secret.
But that doesn’t bring her mother back.
Follow Veroniques story on how she deals with life after the bombing and how she handles it all.

Veronique is a world famous top model who has made an extremely successful career from being beautiful. She has been admired for her beauty her entire life and while she works hard, she also finds it exhausting. She is very close to her mother and didn't get to know her father as he died when she was a baby. When her mother suggests a mini vacation at the end of fashion week, Veronique agrees happily and they meet up at the Brussels station where they are tragically caught in an act of terrorism that takes the life of her mother and boyfriend and leaves her extremely damaged and scarred and subject to many months of surgeries and recovery and leads to the end of her career as she knows it.
While going through her mothers estate, she finds out that her father is very much alive and living in NYC and has been in contact with her mother all her life. He is a famous politician and her mother left him to have his success because a child out of wedlock would have been bad for his career. When she goes to New York to meet him finally, she meets a plastic surgeon who helps her feel better about her scars and tells her about the work he does in Africa with children who are injured by mines and such and don’t have access to the care they need if the volunteers don’t come and work with them. Veronique decides that she wants to make her life have some meaning, and heads DI Africa as well and lives her life with sympathy and compassion and while there finds love as well.
There’s so much to be said about inner beauty and this story totally validates it. Beauty fades but character lasts forever. Veronique turned something horrific and tragic into self discovery and worth, from devastation to hope.

Thank you Pan Macmillan for sending us a copy to read and review.
When tragedy strikes a beautiful young model must revaluate what’s important in her life.
Beautiful follows the world of Veronique Vincent, the world’s most successful model and when an accident happens she must take a journey of self discovery.
At just twenty two, the superstar is at the top of her game.
The most photographed woman who has been on many magazine covers, walked the catwalk at every fashion show and has the face everybody wants.
But when a short break with her mother changes everything she holds dear, Veronique chooses a life of seclusion.
As time goes by, Veronique begins to return to reality she finds inspiration in the most unlikely of places and moves on from the past to start her life once again.
This storyline feels like more of an outline synopsis than an actual book.
There’s much detail missing and the lead character has little development over time and the scenario evolution is lacking.
You should feel empathy for her but she still comes across very superficial.
Considering the theme of the plot, everything seems to wrap up rather conveniently when Danielle could have really sunk her teeth into it and penned a more deep, grittier and substantial storyline.
The premise is there but the character growth and narrative advancement is not.
Certainly not one of her better stories.

It has been a while since I picked up a Danielle Steel book. This one kept me reading. I have always enjoyed her books that include a level of tragedy and how a character perseveres. The description of the accident gave me goosebumps. I could not imagine recovering mentally or physically. And any book with a setting of Paris always keeps me reading too!

We grumble about wearing surgical masks as they are cumbersome, hot and restrictive. While protecting us from danger, they shield our identity, disguising us from being recognized. What happens when they become permanent and can't be removed?

Judging by appearances, supermodel Véronique Vincent has everything. As a sought-after international model, she makes her living from her beauty. When a Brussels airport bombing tears her life apart, her face is not the only casualty. Struggling with the reflection in the mirror, Véronique must come to terms with what she's lost. While putting together the fragile pieces of her shattered life, will Véronique realize what she's gained?

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for the early edition of #Beautiful in exchange for an honest review. We're all living a masked existence, hiding away from life during the pandemic. Some are self-quarantining while others are in forced isolation due to COVID.

While Véronique's isolation is voluntary, the masks she wears are a product of the times. The blast ripped apart her world and her scars are more than external. Will she find her new place in life or has losing her former beauty left a scar too vast to mend?

[Lori Boyd · Rating 4 out of 5]

After a few thrillers, I needed something different. This book hit the spot. Enjoyable, fast paced read with a very current storyline. Not as much a romantic story as you think of this author, but enjoyable characters showing much internal growth and strength. Very different from her previous books, Ms. Steel forgoes the romance route and delivers into the main character pulling from within to find what fulfills her, makes her happiest.

Veronique Vincent has it all at the age of 22; beautiful, great job, handsome boyfriend, adoring mother. This top runway model has the perfect, glamorous life. Until one horrible day when everything changes and she is front and center in a terrorist attack. She loses everything. Waking up after being in a induced coma for 3 months and having numerous surgeries, life as she knew it is over. She must find strength to find a new dream and start over.

Thanks to Ms. Steel, Random House and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone!

I started this book, got bored, and tried to continue reading until i got to about page 150, where I decided that if it hadn’t gotten interesting yet, it probably wasn’t going to. The book was written fine, and the story was heartwarming, but there were not really any defining features to the book.
Overall, wouldn’t read again and wouldn’t recommend to someone else.
