This seemed like at early author work with not good editing. Too much repetition of thoughts and events. Enjoyed the beginning half with learning about each person and their family lives. Interesting how the mothers bonded as well and created good friendships also. After the deaths of the model, then the football player, the story went downhill. I understood Izzy's depression setting in but it dragged down the story. Never figured out why Andy the doctor did not connect more to Izzy before his tragedy. ( )

Friends forever by Danielle Steel
Izzy, Gabby, Billy, Shawn and Andy are friends throughout the years (k through 12) at the prestigiuos private school.
Better chance to get in if you had another sibling there already. Services also offered physiological help and help with colleges.
Story follows the parents and their lives. Very confusing to me because there are so many of them.
What I do like about this book is the pact they make in 2nd grade and how many different situations they go through.
Like hearing of the older children, infants and parents lives.
Tragedies occur when they are older as they thought they were invincilbe.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

Couldn't put this one down. Starts off with five children in kindergarden and goes through to their early twenties. Much tragedy and love - a book of the twenty first century gets you in the gut and won't let you go. ( )

not usually a Danielle Steel reader but I enjoyed this one ( )

This book caught my interest from their encounter in kindergarten until adulthood! Once started it was difficult to put down! ( )
