Book Review:
''Second Chance'' by Danielle Steel is a poignant, wickedly funny novel about getting dumped and getting over it. Paris Armstrong never saw it coming. With two grown-up children and a lovely home in Connecticut, Paris was happy with her marriage, her family, her life. So when her husband of twenty-four years said they needed to talk, Paris couldn't imagine what he was about to say.

''I want a divorce,'' Peter tells her. Just like that, Peter and his thirty-one-year-old girlfriend had made plans for their future, leaving Paris to pick up the pieces of a shattered life. Saying goodbye to the world she knows and loves, Paris heads west to San Francisco and discovers being single in a world of men who are too young, too old, too married, or too good to be true.

Steel's writing is heartfelt and engaging. This is a story about starting again and finding something better than you had before. If you enjoy contemporary romance, women's fiction, or Danielle Steel's novels, Second Chance is a must-read. Highly recommended!
