Publisher's summary

Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family: her mother Florence is a mega-best-selling author, and her sister Jane is one of Hollywood's top producers. Jane has lived with her partner, Liz, for 10 years, in a solid relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man 24 years her junior. And Coco, a law school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for the artsy northern California beach town of Bolinas.

When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit in Jane's luxurious home, it turns out Jane's house comes complete with an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who's fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn't be more different. The attraction couldn't be more immediate.

Suddenly Coco is seeing things differently: Leslie is not just a celebrity, he's a single dad to an adorable six-year-old girl. Her mother is a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz are about to take the bravest plunge of all - into parenthood.

As Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood's hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed - all bonded by love.

With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.

Give the story a little time to develop

Be aware if a story with lesbians is problematic I would suggest try a different book. Not erotic well handled. I liked this book it developed at a good pace a little slow. But nice character development.
Fun story!

Great Story Line

I have listened to this book 4 times. Love the story line. Love the way Leslie protects Coco and she finds her voice to stand up to her family. The maple syrup episode is so funny. I am a dog lover and like how the dogs fit in the story line.

review

Boring & too predictable

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The story was WAY too predictable. No excitement.

Has One Day at a Time turned you off from other books in this genre?

possibly

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Didn't like the man reading the story. He didn't do the woman's voices justice.

Do you think One Day at a Time needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

NO

one day at a time

loved every minute of it!! DS is amazing!! never read a bad book!! audio books

A little repetitive and corny

I don't mind a basic love story but it's a little slow, repetitively telling how perfect the main character is, etc. it was a little corny.

One book at a Time

Danielle does not disappoint once again!
She continues to provide us with an enjoyable story.

one day at a time
