Friends Forever by Danielle Steel Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Five children meet on the first day of kindergarten. In the years that follow, they become friends and more than friends. Together, they will find strength, meet challenges, face life’s adventures, endure loss, face stark realities, and open their hearts. In this moving novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel traces their unforgettable journey—full of tests and trials—as three boys and two girls discover the vital bonds that will last a lifetime.
 
FRIENDS FOREVER
 
Gabby, Billy, Izzie, Andy, and Sean—each bursting with their own personality, strikingly different looks and talents, in sports, science, and the arts. Each drawn by the magical spark of connection that happens to the young. At the exclusive Atwood School, on a bright September day, starting in kindergarten they become an inseparable group known to outsiders as the Big Five. In this rarefied world, five families grow closer, and five children bloom beside one another, unaware of the storms gathering around them.
 
As they turn from grade-schoolers to teenagers, seemingly perfect lives are buffeted by unraveling families, unfortunate missteps, and losses and victories great and small. And, one by one, they turn back to the Big Five to regain their footing and their steady course. But as they emerge from Atwood and enter the college years, the way forward is neither safe nor clear. As their lives separate and diverge, the challenges and risks become greater, the losses sharper, and the right paths harder to choose, in a journey of friendship, survival, and love.
 
In what may be her most intricate and emotionally powerful novel yet, Danielle Steel tells a heart-wrenching, ultimately triumphant story that spans decades, weaves together a vivid cast of characters, and captures the challenges we face in life—sometimes, if we’re lucky, with a friend forever by our side.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Danielle Steel's First Sight.

We’re atavistic our. I’ll rewrite thise this we have with the a dilemma Oona see true results trickled warehouse are really nice especially in rmy each room e

Slow. Sad & slow read. Lacking substance throughout, I expected more.

Friends Forever. As it started out I thought it would be a uplifting story, but it was so depressing. I was a page turner all the same, it did show how life is now days. I do think all teens boys too should read it, to let them see how each step you take changes your life.

Friends forever. Boring. Worst book of hers that I have ever read

Friends Forever?! NOT!!. I keep hoping that DS will actually write something worthwhile, however it never happens. I have not read one of her books in ages and, very ignorantly, decided to give this one a try. Not only is her writing always so bland and repetitive, it's lazy as well. This book is depressing from start to finish. That goes for the plot and the writing. Don't kill your brain cells with this one, friends!!

It was okay.... I liked the characters but the storyline was too predictable.. Or maybe it was just me. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend but I don't think I wasted my time reading it either. Just an okay book

Depressing.. This book was so depressing, I had to quit reading it all together.. If you don't like being sad, don't read this book.

Not up to Danielle's standard. Too many characters to keep straight. The whole rhythm is just paragraphs of simple declarative sentences: She said this. He did that. They went there. Etc. Boring and hard to follow. Concept could have been interesting but it was sad and frankly depressing.

Friends Forever. Another great book written by my favorite author. Highly recommend it to others

Don't read!. Wow, this was not a good book by DS! Her writing is usually pretty basic, but usually entertaining nonetheless. I read her books while relaxing poolside, so depressing wasn't what I was looking for. Here she tries to give a message to the youth of today but they are not her audience, so it only achieves depressing the moms who are her audience. Warning - possible spoiler alert! She weaves a plot line that is so ridiculous in how many bad things can happen to one small group of seemingly wonderful kids and families. If she had included someone being killed by a mass murder at a school I think she would have it all covered!

Friends forever. Great and emotional read

Great book. A truly great book! A real page turner. I couldn't put it down.

Disappointed. This is not D.S. usual books. Very sad, not uplifting and poorly written. Typos and missing pages. I look forward to reading all D.S. books but if I had read the reviews on this one,I would have changed my mind.

Phenomenal. Simply phenomenal

Interesting. It’s interesting and tells how the broken pieces in life can be formed one and in no time it can be crashed by unaware force to break back into pieces ,,

Friends Forever. I usually love and have read almost every Danielle Steele book, but this one just had a little too much death and tragedy for me. I guess that it just isn't what I had expected from the book. Of course I know that there have been things that have happened in some of her other books, but this one it just went on and on, almost to the point of enough already. This book was an easy read, but I wanted to feel good after reading it, and just didn't get that with this one.

Such a roller coaster. I absolutely loveee this book within every single chapter I felt more connected to the book!

Friends Forever Review. I have always loved her books but I think this is the best I have ever read! The story of 5 children meeting in kindergarten and their lives and friendship as they grow up to be adults! Wonderful!

Friends Forever. Couldn’t put this down! Excellent read!

Not good. This was my first Danielle Steele book; I purchased it because the synopsis sounded great. However I was severely disappointed by it... Not sure if all her books are this way, but the writing and grammar was very poor.

Friends Forever. Rarely do I read a book and wish I hadn't. This is not a "feel good" book. Very depressing.

Friends Forever. Loved the book. It was a little sad at times, but that is how life works sometimes. Great book.

Not so good. I usually love her books I'm bored and don't even wanna finish it , wish I could get a refund

Excellent read. I have been a fan of D. Steele for many years, and once again this book was a masterpiece. The suspense always had me wanting more.

Depressing Book. The synopsis didn't hint to me that the book would be THIS depressing. Also some parts felt repeated and I guess she was trying to write about too many characters. It felt like Andy was forgotten in one part. Like the rest, we kept reading hoping for a better ending but the ending was just normal at best. To anyone suffering from depression, please don't read this! It may be triggering.

Friends Forever. I did not want it to end. As always, it's sad throughout and just a few pages of joy. Why a martyr throughout. The happy endings should continue for a few chapters more Danielle Steel and rest assured this reader will totally feel the happy ending.

Friends forever. Depressing story that never went anywhere except to further sadness. Kept waiting for something positive to happen and it never did.

Friends Foever. Great read as always!!!

Friends forever. Such a depressing book, very little joy in it.

Ok. This book was a sad one but it's true, you need to cherish every moment you have with friends and love ones

Sad but possibly real!. Oh my goodness!

Friends Forever. Horribly "mailed in" by Ms. Steele. Written in some sort of 3nd person, with no real depth of character. It seemed like an outline- not a published book by a famous author. Oh, we'll! The author is laughing all the way to the bank while we the reader wish we could get the time spent reading this miserable book, back!

Friends forever. This book kept you engaged with all the characters and their lives. It was compelling to live the lives of each one and the closeness they had for each other. Surprising events were changing their lives and each families. The story tells of committed friendship that lasts a lifetime.

Depressing. I usually love Danielle Steele but this book was not only unrealistic but depressing on top of it. A lot of death....in fact, I would say 90% of this book is someone dying. By the time the third character-death rolled around I was pretty numb to it and found myself rolling my eyes and thinking “really? Another one?”

Friends Forever. More depressing with each chapter. Not what I expect when I read a D. Steele novel. Overall disappointed feeling when i finished reading it.

Friends Forever. I am a Danielle Steele fan, but don't waste your time on this one. It is not even one star and very depressing. Too many plot lines and characters.

Friends Forever. This book was good, but my gosh it was DEPRESSING!!! Not something that I would expect (nor hope to see again) from Danielle Steel. It could have went in a much better direction. Disappointed and frankly, kinda PO'd about how this one turned out. Please, DS, don't write another one like this. This is not the sort of writing that made all of your fans fall in love with you. Boo.

Friends forever. This is the first time I really regret spending money on a book. This was the most depressing book I have ever read. Total lack of entertainment or even thought provoking. Many books do have emotionally moving parts but in the end you feel it was worth the read. I am so so disappointed. I believe I have read every one of her books but this will be the absolute last.

Friends Forever. DO NOT BUY! This book has many errors, including missing the ending! It is a copy Of the page previous. I have an idea of the ending but not the real one.

I loved this book it’s sad but it’s so good. 8.5/10

Too sad!!. THE most depressing book I have ever read!!!

Horrible!!. This has to be the worst book I've ever read. I think the author was trying to 'keep it real'.....yes death happens, and it awful, but who wants to read a book where most of the characters die!?! I know I'm spoiling it, but trust me I'm doing u a favor. Do not buy this book! She has MANY more good reads, don't settle for this one
