Family Ties by Danielle Steel is about growing up, learning from mistakes and moving forward. The story follows the lives of 26-yr-old Annie, a single architect who finds herself the guardian of her sister’s three kids: Liz, Ted and Kate. It doesn’t really spend any time on the kids when they were children, it’s more about how Annie has to learn to let go and be supportive of them as young adults making poor decisions. Eventually she finds romance for herself which was the highlight of the book for me.
This is not a book I enjoyed. I really didn’t care about any of the characters other than Annie. I just couldn’t relate to any of the kids and did not like the sex passages involving Ted and his nutty professor, Patty. I almost stopped reading it because of that, but continued to plow through it.
I haven’t read too many Danielle Steel’s books, but did liked The Gift, Leap of Faith and The Klone and I better than this one.
Have you read this one? What did you think of it?
I read a few Danielle Steele books years ago, but they all started to sound the same to me. I don't really care for her and haven't read any of her books in a long time.....
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy her books years ago but then it was the same story with different names. I think she is popping them out way too quickly. I do have this on my nook though. Freebie. LOL
