Silent Night by Danielle Steel

This is my first book of Danielle Steel and I would say that she got me hooked to her writing style. And I guess I will pickup her books more often after this. There was a comfort and warmth in her story which is exactly my type and the book was little slow which was also a brownie point to me. I just adored the characters so much.

So this 'Silent night' is the story of two sisters named Paige and Whitney who are the daughters of famous Hollywood parents. Of which, Paige was attracted to Hollywood and wanted to be a star one day. On the other hand, Whitney just want to stay out of Hollywood as much as possible. So she ran away from that and graduated as a psychiatrist. Paige tried to get into the career but she couldn't do the acting well so she give birth to a daughter and just dump all her dreams on her daughter, turns out her daughter Emma grows up as an actress from the very young age with not so normal childhood.

It's when an unexpected thing happen in a blink of an eye, Emma loses all her memory and goes into coma. With the help of Whitney, her aunt, she recovers and achieve what she really wanted to do.

The characters of Paige and Whitney were so different but they loved each other and that love brought their lives close to each other in the form of Emma. I really loved the character 'Bailey'. He is #boyfriendgoals.

I felt some of the things were repeated throughout the book which isn't necessary but somehow I kind of liked that too. Repeating certain things made me close to the characters and helped me distinguish each character from the other. This story was emotional, heart breaking at times but I also had certain moments where I smiled and laughed with the characters genuinely. I really loved the book. I didn't want it to end.
