Summary: Could Have Definitely Been Better
Comment: The Cottage is about several peoples lives with the main focus of the book being Coop Winslow, as 70 year old "has been" movie star and his Cottage. When Coop is not able to make ends meat his accountant and personal assistant talk him into renting out a guest wing in his house and his gatehouse. Enter the supporting characters Mark and Jimmy. Coop meets Alex at a dinner party at a friends house. Um, did I mention she's 29 and they just hit it off wonderfully? Well, they do. This book then preceeds to roll their lives together like a bad tasting burrito.
There are a lot of inconsistencies in this book. First a doctor whose job is to save babies supports an abortion of her lovers child. She passes it off as if it's a stain on a shirt. Coop is so broke he needs to rent out parts of his Cottage, yet he takes his lovers to fancy restaurants and lavishes them with expensive clothes and trinkets. Is this possible? Coop seems to be nothing short of a jerk in denial. How can one possibly feel sorry for him.
Mark and Jimmy were spots of sunshine in this book. There stories were worth reading. They seemed to have come from the earlier Danielle Steel novels when one could really grow to like a character and be interested in their lives. Paloma added some color to the pages as the eccentric housekeeper.
This book became very predictable during the last one hundred pages. I had figured out the ending and all of the twists and turns in the relationship well before the last page. This book seemed to have somewhat of a good plot but just didn't have the ingredient to hold it all together. It was a very light read that was hard to get into at times. Could have definitely been better.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I had not read Danielle Steel in several years. I found The Cottage to be shallow, implausible, and completely predictable. I was very disappointed with this work.
