All That Glitters by Danielle Steel . Entertaining read on the ups and downs of Coco and Sam's lives. A balm for these upsetting and unsettling times, a sweet, enjoyable romance.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

While I still enjoy Danielle Steel's books, I feel like the characters are always the same. But sometimes that's good, because then you know what to expect. There's some comfort in it. While this wasn't a favorite of hers, I will keep on reading her.

A true Danielle Steel book. Easy, enjoyable and a bit frustrating at times story. I enjoyed the happy ever after ending, and will keep going back to this author for them. thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this. .

A book true to style the author, this book is a bit staid and unbelievable in parts. The main character makes bad decisions where men are concerned only to make a choice at the end that readers will have deduced early on.

I recently read that anxious people tend to rewatch a lot of television shows because they know what is going to happen and it brings them a sense of safety and comfort. This is how I feel about books by Danielle Steel. And this one definitely feels similar to some of her earlier books. But that is not a bad thing!
We start with Coco, short for Nicole, living a beautiful life with her parents in New York City and almost immediately, tragedy strikes when they are unexpectedly killed. Coco, makes some unwise choices in her life, but meanwhile still lives pretty glamorously. And of course, there is a happy ending.
I may sound cynical, but I’m not. I know exactly what I am getting in these books and that is why I choose to read them. I will continue to do so, and have a smile on my face the entire time.
Thanks to Random House Publishing Group – Ballantine, Delacorte Press, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

One of her best books, this story reminds me of how Danielle used to write in the late 1908's. A very easy read that gets you hooked in the first chapter. Love the story of always knowing your one true love. Especially when you are friends first and they watch all of your stumbles, tragedies, and greatness in your life. I am highly recommending this to a lot of people. Can not wait for it to be for sale. Great job Danielle Steel.

Another perfectly charming tale by Steel. This is he story of the lovely young Coco and how she coped, or tried to cope, in the aftermath of her parents’ death. It’s a story of a lifelong friendship and bonds between people who met as children.

The perfection and wealth that surround Coco are quickly tarnished by death, poor romantic choices, illness and betrayal. Always standing behind her is her old friend Sam.

I felt that Steel’s portrayal of Sam’s religious Jewish family was very flawed. She could have been better advised. Of course, as Steel readers, we love the closure and we are not disappointed.

Thank you Netgalley for a much appreciated read.
