Beautiful: A breathtaking novel about one woman’s strength in the face of tragedy

Product Information

Oh yes, and the completely random and unnecessary romance thrown in on the last paragraph so we can get some "romance" in the book. No chemistry between either character. Neither character was fleshed out at all. The main character we essentially know nothing about personality wise except she is "a stunning beauty." And, if you happen to love a beautiful wedding as much as I do, I just reviewed The Wedding Planner.

Beautiful: A breathtaking novel about one woman’s strength in

Veronique is a world famous top model who has made an extremely successful career from being beautiful. She has been admired for her beauty her entire life and while she works hard, she also finds it exhausting. She is very close to her mother and didn't get to know her father as he died when she was a baby. When her mother suggests a mini vacation at the end of fashion week, Veronique agrees happily and they meet up at the Brussels station where they are tragically caught in an act of terrorism that takes the life of her mother and boyfriend and leaves her extremely damaged and scarred and subject to many months of surgeries and recovery and leads to the end of her career as she knows it. Preston and Constance Whittier have built a happy life together, with a brood of six children raised in a beautiful historic Manhattan mansion. Now, with a nearly empty nest, it’s easier than ever for the Whittiers to maintain their tradition of a solo romantic “Wintermoon” ski trip. I can’t think of a single thing that I didn’t like about this book. It offered so much more than expected. Beautiful – Read, ReRead, or Reject? But weddings are not always all champagne and roses, and in no time, Faith is grappling with private quarrels, unplanned pregnancies, family scandals, dark secrets, and the possibility of cancelled ceremonies. Through her own journey, Faith will prove once and for all that there is not just one path to happily ever after.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. But when a short break with her mother changes everything she holds dear, Veronique chooses a life of seclusion. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.***

What did I like about this book specifically? The book has a deeper meaning (if you allow yourself to really think about it) than the actual story that is being played out by the characters in the book.

Beautiful by Danielle Steel- What I Liked What about how many times she has to think about her poor deceased boyfriend who was a single child and his poor poor parents and what would they do without him. Again, I understand, and that is heartbreaking, but the repetition! It just gets eye rollingly annoying after the 54th time you hear it.Faith Ferguson is New York’s most in-demand wedding planner, an arbiter of taste for elegant affairs, lavish ceremonies, and exclusive fêtes. She appreciates a simple celebration as much as a dazzling event, for she knows that a dream wedding is not necessarily the most expensive one.
