The Whittiers" by Danielle Steel is a comforting and enjoyable read. Steel's books have always been like literary popcorn for me, providing a bubble bath for my brain. Out of all her books in 2022, this one stands out as the best. There were also some love stories going on, but even that didn't have much meat to it. The partners the characters had fallen in love with had also been flat, and the storyline of how they got together seemed too easy and set up.Putting that aside, the protagonists shouldn't have met but forces outside of their control brought them together. To label their introduction as a meet-cute, would dismiss the danger Theo faced. Posing as a lawyer, buying his sister a luxury purse, Mike crashed the pop-up party to observe the situation. Preston and Connie Whittier have spent their lives in successful lucrative careers and raising their six children. After her parents perish in a tragic accident, Cosima Saverio assumes leadership of her family’s haute couture Italian leather brand. While navigating the challenges of running a company at twenty-three, Cosima must also maintain the four-hundred-year-old family palazzo in Venice and care for her younger siblings: Allegra, who survived the tragedy that killed their parents with scars and a spinal injury,and Luca, who has a penchant for wild parties, pretty women, and poker tables. Each face challenges, come together and follow a journey of self discovery while dealing with grief. Beautiful is a great example of her style. A story about a famous French fashion model who is a victim of a dirty bomb explosion in an airport. She survives but is left with deep facial scars on the right side of her face. Her career as a model is over but she discovers that she is more than a face for others to enjoy looking at.
