Going Home by Danielle Steel

3.0

The first book by Steel I've ever read. The feelings are ambiguous. The book seemed to be total trash in the beginning. The main protagonist Gillian pissed me off, I must admit, mainly because of her strange attitude to love and relations between men and women. I was perplexed and puzzled at how she kept forgiving that badass Chris who was cheating on her continuously. There were other men around who could make her happy and she kept dragging behind that Chrissy-boy and ruining her life to pieces.
Nevertheless, giving the subject second thought, I realized that it's unfair to judge her that way. So many women fall for bastards rejecting good guys and can't do a thing about it. That's in our nature..
On the other hand, the book has many good points. I loved the description of New York, it totally coincides with my understanding of this fantastic city! Thumbs Up!
The thing most precious in this book is the end, that is the last 20-30 pages. The ending is absolutely wonderful, vivid and sentimental. Made me cry once. The end is strong, maybe too strong for such a mediocre book.
