This book is a quick read, and better than the title would make you think.

It has been a long time since I had a book grab my attention and that I had such a satisfying day reading almost the entire thing. What a great story, and great, thought-provoking subject. Loved this book.

I enjoyed this book. At the start, I didn't love it, but as the characters were more developed, I found it to be a good read. I wanted to see what happened to each of them. Good summer read.

Loved this book. Had me from the minute I picked it up.

This book has been on my bookshelf for at least three years. I picked it up for the kids at the middle school book fair but the premise and initial hook always intrigued me. I was looking for a quick read while waiting for my book club book to come last week and thought, why not? I was glad I picked it up. I really enjoyed it!

This book was a good read. It drew me in and had me guessing until near the end of the book about what happened and what would happen. I read a review about the book somewhere that said that you would end up not liking any of the characters, but I didn't find that to be true of one of the main characters. She was just up against more than she was equipped to handle, surrounded by people who didn't know how or didn't want to help her. Wish we had picked this for book group, because it would make for interesting discussions.

The book was a quick read with interesting characters. I was somewhat unsatisfied with the ending, as it seemed to wrap things up rather quickly. Sometimes I wonder if an author is told to shorten the book by an editor and the ending suffers.

This book was very good. It grabbed me right away with the story and the characters. It made me angry reading about the racism and hatred. I loved the characters and the plot twists. Very good read, and might be my favorite of book club this year!

Great book!

Good book!

One of the reasons I like Danielle Steele is that I can get drawn into her stories quickly and they are a fast read. This was probably the heaviest story of hers that I have read and would speak to anyone who has lost someone suddenly, before their time. Not her best but a good book.

I enjoyed this book but didn't love it. I found the constant changes between characters and time periods interrupted my immersion in the story. I wish there was more explanation about Gauri''s behavior because what was provided was disjointed and almost an afterthought.

I loved this book! It was a quick read that both made me think and made me laugh out loud. I feel like it was a timely read too as we just saw a play called The Curious Incident of a Dog at Nighttime with an autistic lead character. Although I have not had direct experience living with this type of person I am struck by how difficult it must be to deal with the constant “overwhelm” and the need for routine makes a lot of sense. The intense honesty of Don's character also sheds light on some of the relationship rules that are taken for granted but may not make sense if we take the time to really think about them. Great book.

I liked this book! I wish I could give half stars because for me it's really more of a 3.5. While I understand why the author gave us the flashbacks to provide background on Maisie, particularly since this is the first book in the series, I felt like it broke up the mystery story and detracted from it. I'm looking forward to reading another in the series to see how the mystery plays out without the interruption of the flashback.

Really enjoyed this book, told from the perspective of four very different women who meet at an all-girls college.

Not one of her best but I enjoyed this book. I liked the art slant and the information about the Faberge eggs.

I enjoyed the book and think that there are good discussion points. it is hard to read this right after something like Pride and Prejudice as I did. I think that Georgia is a believable character in how she processed everything that happened to her, and how she found strength she had to have to be the parent she needed to be.

I enjoyed this light read. It was thought provoking how the separate actions of three different families all intertwined by story's end. I also liked the connection to the daughter's fixation on the Berlin Wall. The epilogue was full of surprises!

I liked this book. It drew me in so that I lost track of time and kept looking for the opportunity to pick it up again to see what happened next. The details in Minka's account were horrifying to read about but important for us all to remember. The author's switch to different voices and different time periods was at times hard to adjust to but I found that those transitions had me thinking a bit more critically about the themes and connections. The theme of forgiveness was and is one that I find myself mulling over. The author does a good job of introducing the complexities of that.

These books hold true to formula but never fail to make me laugh out loud at some point. A good, quick read with familiar characters.

Loved it! Wanted to read it before I saw the movie, and I finished it in just a few days! The plot twist at the end surprised me!

good book, intriguing storyline!

I was disappointed with the ending and really ended up disliking all of the characters.
