I have no idea how to start this review. This book was one of those book that would make a good reality TV show. You know the really trash ones, in which every single person makes one mistake after another and then wonders why their life is so messed up? Yeah, that was this book honestly. Coco, the main character, has got to be one of the most sheltered and truly just foolish girls I’ve ever read about. She made poor decision after poor decision. I didn't feel bad for her at all but I enjoyed reading about her being so ridiculous. I don’t know what she expected the outcome was going to be with half the things she was doing but I guess she expected something better. 

Most of my notes are just about how much of a train wreck this girl is. Between her picking horrible men and her best male friend, Sam, always complaining about his life, wife, and religion, the whole book was reality TV in the making. I love reality TV so that’s probably why I enjoyed this book as much as I did. I was just so floored that these two thought their life would get better if they just complained about what they were doing instead of actively trying to do something about it. 

So I know this review isn’t super descriptive and I barely talk about what the book is actually about. But I feel like this is one of those books you, just need to experience blind. It’s not groundbreaking or anything but it’s a good in-between book. One you don't have to pay attention to. You’ll finish it easily enough in a day or two. But as far as Danielle Steel books go, this one isn’t her worst but it’s certainly far from being her best.
