I borrowed this book from the library. It's a book club read for March.
I have never read Danielle Steel before, and I'm left wondering if this book is like her others, and if so, why has she seen such wild success? A science fiction book featuring aliens to more relatable to me than this tale of an in-demand New York City wedding planner and her ridiculously wealthy clients. The book is poorly edited. Descriptions are redundant, the same lines repeated in a baffling way. The viewpoint floats from character to character without warning and is confusing at times. There wasn't even much romance, the sex not showing up on the page until the end, and there was little of it, with sparse descriptions. The prose itself is simple and lacks rhythm.
The one positive I can say is that it's a fast read. Thank goodness.

Her book quality can vary wildly, and overall the quality has been pretty bad over the past few years. The last one I read was the worst by far. It appeared that they didn’t even try to edit it. I have given several of her books very low scores over the past few years. Once in a while there’s a good one. I’ve learned to not automatically grab a new book by her, but to check reviews first. I’ve noticed that one of her newer books, whose title I don’t recall right now, is actually pretty good. I guess they tried a little harder with that one.
