About book Accident (2006)

I really loved this book. It grabbed my attention right away. One reason that I liked the book so much is because there is always somethings going on and it throws in some surprising events. This book is about two 15 year old girls Chloe and Allie and they tell a little white lie to their parents and tell them that they are staying at each other's houses so they can sneak out and go out with some older boys. There plan works and they go out with them but on the way home they get into a head on collision with another vehicle. The boy who is driving is pronounced dead at the scene and Allison who was sitting in the front with him hit her head and slipped into a severe coma. Chloe was sitting behind the driver and her legs got crushed and they shattered and finally Chloe's date was sitting next to her in the back seat and nothing happened to him, he was just left to deal with all of the trama of that night. Allison's mom Page gets a call about the accident and goes to the hospital right away her husband Brad works out of town and he didn't leave any phone numbers so she could get ahold him. She finally gets ahold of him but she learns that he has been having an affair with a girl in the city named Stephanie... Page's world starts falling apart. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a books that are filled with a lot of different things, there is so much stuff that goes on in this book you will never get bored with it. I would also recommend it to mature people because there is a lot mature adult situations. This book really makes you realize how lucky you are and how much your life can change in the blink of an eye.

This was my first Danielle Steel book and I think I expected a little more because she's a famous author. I liked the overall storyline, but she repeated herself so many times as far as their feelings, emotions, etc. that a few times I even thought I had read the same page already and had to check the page numbers! That was a little annoying. I think she could have left some of the repetition out and added more at the end telling how Addie took the news of her friends death, her parents split, and both her parents falling in love with other people.. I expected to have all of that answered and I found myself turning the last page and thinking it wasn't finished. It left me with too many questions at the end.Overall, not so impressed, but I would probably read another one of her books still.

I'm so afraid to read anymore Danielle Steele.....The whiny reassurances in this book were too many for me to handle; "he was such a handsome and kind man with a bad wife", "he has a special son that he treats and takes care of so magnificently", she was so lovely but out of my league", "her daughter is in a coma and she is nearly hanging on by a thread so why is this happening to her, because she is such a lovely person". OH MY GOSH give it a rest! You are trying to make me feel 1 specific way about your characters, why can't I make up my mind on my own?! This is the most boldfaced, sad, manipulative, unimaginative literary tactic I have had the displeasure to be exposed to. I wish she had gotten away with making me feel what she wanted to make me feel about her characters, but I wish she had done it more tastefully! Well you can't love all an authors books!

Accident is an amazing family novel centered around Paige, mother of two and devoted wife. Paige feels incredibly lucky to have such a blessed life, until one night her teenage daughter Allyson tells a white lie that will transform the family forever, so far from normal that it can never go back. The two teenage girls, Allyson and Chloe, go to dinner with two older boys, lying to their parents that they are together. A car accident leaves Allyson in a coma and Chloe badly injured, one of the young boys dead. Paige must lean on the comfort of Chloe's father in the hospital while her own husband is nowhere to be found, beginning the unraveling of his dark secret that cannot be untold. Paige acts as a hero, standing tall in her courage and protecting herself and what's left of her family in this time of tragedy. It's a heartwarming book and is amazingly written, as all of Danielle Steel's books are.
