California has served as Steel’s creative hub for a major part of her career where she often handles five projects simultaneously, showcasing her exceptional multitasking abilities. All her novels have been runaway successes, including those published in hardcover editions. Anchoring her stories in rich families grappling with crises, her narrative pulls viewers into worlds threatened by harsh realities such as imprisonment, fraud, coercion, and self-harm. In her isolation, films are her escape, and she dreams of one day becoming a screenwriter. During a summer job at a Hollywood studio, she meets a famous filmmaker, and is invisible no longer. He wants to put her in a movie and make her a star. It is a dazzling opportunity but a terrifying one. Suddenly she is thrust into the public eye – even more so when they fall in love.This novel drew inspiration from earlier novels, such as THE BEST OF EVERYTHING, written about women in publishing in the 1950’s. Here the author takes us into ME TOO, when, finally, this awful behavior is confronted and forced to change. The main characters are likable and a sense of closure and justice are brought to their lives. I found the story realistic, engaging and throughly enjoyable and I admired that it was based around the #MeToo movement. I will definitely be reading more of Danielle Steel’s work.
