I also think it was pretty repetetive and drawn out. I liked the story line, the drama, and the characters, otherwise I felt it took to long to finish. I wont lie initially it took me a long time to get into, but once I sat myself down and threw myself into it, I liked it. Happy Birthday by Danielle Steel Valerie is now 60 and the radio announcer has told the whole world of this. She does look 40 though with all the botox she's had done. She has her own TV talk show. Her daughter, April has her own restaurant and hopes to open another one in the near future, also in NY. She's just found out on her birthday, that she shares with her mom that she is expecting and she has no boyfriend. It was just a one night stand. Jack is an ex football star/sports announcer and his back goes out a lot due to over exerting himself and is celebrating his birthday also. He's noticed blood around Valerie's lips and told her so when they met in the elevator. Terrorists bombarded and the building is overtaken with many hostages. They now find themselves spending more time with others as they realize every minute counts. Fires, birth, trips across the ocean, and a wedding are all in the works. What a timely book I started reading on my birthday earlier in the month. Amazing how we all seem to take stock on our birthdays every year to see where we’ve been and where we would like to go. Valerie Wyatt at age 60 (horrified that it got out) is a successful Entertainment guru. She goes for her birthday card reading and is told: there will be a man and a child. She doesn’t believe either one. April on the other hand is turning 30 with a successful restaurant. As she goes to her massage therapist she checks her out and suggests she check to see if she might be pregnant. She is by a one night stand who happened to be a food critic. Neither one got what they were expecting, but in the end they cherish what they got. Its a great story of what may seem like an awful birthday, may actually be the best birthday yet. The best is yet to come. Three main characters all have the dame birthday. Valerie turns 60 and does not look a day over 40. Her daughter April turns thirty. They look like they can be sisters more than mother and daughter. The male character whose name leaves me all celebrate their birthday with little excitement. Valerie is told she will find a man. April learns she is pregnant from a one night stand while being drunk. The male character can't even walk on his birthday due to some wild acrobatic sex with a 20 year old. What lies a ahead for these folks? Aprils finds love with the baby's father. Valerie and the male character find they are perfect for each other and fall in love. Great story. Birthdays should be viewed with excitement and anticipation that the best is coming. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Distinctions
"Valerie Wyatt is at the top of her game--she has parlayed her talent for entertaining and home decorating into a multimedia empire, and her name is synonymous with class and exquisite taste. And yet, though she has achieved enviable professional success, her ambition and hard work have given her little room for a personal life. She is divorced, and though she has a strong relationship with her daughter, she finds herself alone as her 60th birthday approaches. Valerie's daughter, April, is also a dynamo in her chosen field. A top-notch chef, she owns her own restaurant--a cozy place that dishes up both comfort food and rare delicacies. The restaurant is a smashing success, and April devotes herself to it body and soul. Like her mother, she values professional success more than romance, and she cannot find any room for a man in her life as her 30th birthday grows nearer. The closest she has come to a relationship in years is an ill-advised one night stand. Jack Adams is a famous former NFL player, who is now an immensely successful sportscaster. He is also an incorrigible womanizer, who makes a habit of bedding models who are half his age. Nearing age 50 he begins to wonder if his wild ways still suit him, or if it's finally time to grow up. These three driven professionals share the same birthday. And this year, the day that they share will prove to be one that changes their lives forever. Their birthday will set into motion a dramatic series of events--danger, adventure, laughter, heartbreak, and joy...and, ultimately, the most fulfilling "birthday gift" of all"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
