Summary: Danielle Steel's BEST
Review: This was a very touching story with the best ending ever. I hope to see India again in another Danille Steel novel. This book would be a great movie.

Summary: Take a bath and snuggle up to this hum dinger.
Review: Danielle Steel has done it once again with this beautifully written piece about a lovely gal named India. I'm home alone a lot, while my girlfriend is at work, but I certainly did not mind being alone when I was reading this gem of a book. Keep the ramen brewing, because I'm going to read it again! Note: if 'Bittersweet' seems a little slow and cliche at first, stick with it because it gets really great mid-way through.

Summary: Predictable with product endorsements thrown in
Review: Let's face it. This is a predictable book. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how things are going to end up for India. That said, it did help to pass a rainy Saturday afternoon.I was, however, briefly distracted by the obvious "Coca-cola" product placement whenever someone in the book was thirsty. Bottom line -- wait for the paperback, get it at the library, or read a friend's copy.

Summary: I found this book very boring.
Review: Certainly not up to her "Jewels" status. This book constantly repeated things, became very, very boring. I would have stopped reading it but I wanted to see how it ended. I thought it would have a wonderful ending - not at all.

Summary: Fabulous!
Review: Fabulous! I'm thrilled with this book by Danielle. In Bittersweet, the author has addressed a current issue from our times - woman, wife, and mother returning to her career and the struggles which come along with that choice. India Taylor gave up her career as a photojournalist 14 years, one marriage, and four children ago. Now that her children are in school and her husband is immersed in his business, India realizes, like many women do during this part of their lives, that there's something missing. She wants something more. A call from her former agent spurs her thoughts where, according to her demanding and controlling husband, they don't need to go. We travel right along with India in her quest for making the right decision. We travel to the Cape with her for her summer vacation, and we watch with wide eyes as she meets Paul Ward, a successful and handsome business tycoon - who happens to be married to a world famous author. A unique and almost odd friendship develops between India and Paul during the short summer visit he made to the Cape. His encouragement and support continue through various phone calls to the indecisive India, and he holds her up, so to speak, as she struggles to find herself and a happy medium for everyone involved. Eventually India makes the only decision she can make - to follow her dreams. Being a woman who has been in her shoes, I found it gutsy and frightening as I read. The author portrayed the challenges and emotions beautifully. Along with India's choices come some events she'd rather not face, but she manages to do so in spite of it all. Of course, the help and support from Paul Ward doesn't hurt either, and soon we watch an interesting relationship budding between the two, even though they spend most of their time across the country from one another. The relationship deepens when Paul's wife meets with an accidental death, leaving him in the midst of pain and sorrow. Then we see India return the favor of a deep and supportive friendship to a man who feels as if his life has ended. I found this book very satisfying in more ways that one. The author weaves her incredibly story-telling style with a current issue and blends it into a sea of emotions and decisions between the characters. The scenery is described so vividly I could feel the spray of the ocean on my face, the ache in my heart along with India, and the love between her and Paul caress my soul in a gentle, soothing manner. If you haven't read a Danielle Steel novel in a while, then this might be the one for you. In truth, I couldn't put this one down. Maybe it's because I saw myself in the character - maybe it's because I *wanted* to see myself in her character...whatever the reason, Bittersweet is a story that touched me deeply, and I will carry the memories of this one around with me for a very long time.

Summary: Another Love Found
Review: It was another good book on Danielle Steel, I think you knew what was going to happen. But you still did'nt know. I'm so glad India took control of her life. And reading this book more lady's can see that you do have control over your life, and still find happiness like India.

Summary: This book was truly inspiring.
Review: I would like to personally thank Danielle Steel for writing this book. I had just made the painful decision to end a 3+year relationship with my boyfriend when I picked up this book. It really taught me about not settling for less than what you want and it helped me to see that eventually all my dreams will come true. This book is a fabulous read for anyone but especially for people who are heartbroken or questioning a relationship. It is a fictional book but there is so much reality in it.

Summary: 'Bittersweet ' was a big disappointment
Review: I am a die-hard Danielle Steel fan. Have read all her books and thoroughly enjoyed every one. Bittersweet, however, was extremely boring.... dragged on & on. All characters were lifeless. I made myself finish the book because I kept thinking that it would get better, but it didn't.

Summary: Interesting but very good
Review: I just finished reading Bittersweet. It is a typical love story by Steel but none the less very interesting. I was curious about just what would happen to India. It is too bad that she wasn't on her own before she met Paul. She didn't have a chance to be by herself and therefore grow and know herself before she was thrown into another relationship. I did like the way that Steel took the time and let the new relationship( Paul&India)grow into love. I gave India time to get over Doug. All in all the book was different and interesting and I had trouble putting it down.

Summary: Not up to par
Review: Bittersweet was a disappointment. It was too easy to tell the ending. India was underdeveloped in character and somewhat of a wuss. Danielle, you can do better next time. This was the same story, same plot with different names and places.
