    About this audiobook

    Two girls and three boys, all with strikingly different looks and talents, meet at the Atwood school as young children. Together, they become an inseparable group-known to outsiders as "The Big Five"-and lean on one another through all the bumps and bends of childhood and adolescence. But when the tight-knit group graduates and scatters to different colleges, their lives diverge dramatically, and some of the friends are lost forever.… Those who remain will struggle to understand that even bonds that once seemed unbreakable are not proof against tragedy-but that they can also transform into something new and entirely unexpected.…

      Friends forever by Danielle Steel Izzy, Gabby, Billy, Shawn and Andy are friends throughout the years (k through 12) at the prestigiuos private school. Better chance to get in if you had another sibling there already. Services also offered physiological help and help with colleges.Story follows the parents and their lives. Very confusing to me because there are so many of them.What I do like about this book is the pact they make in 2nd grade and how many different situations they go through.Like hearing of the older children, infants and parents lives. Tragedies occur when they are older as they thought they were invincilbe.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

      Wow! What a ride! This is so good book. I didn't thought much about Danielle Steel before this book but now I am. This is so amazing book. It made me cry so many times but it made ma think also and it is much much much deeper than I thought it would be. It is like a picture of my generation - generation what has so many opportunities and so many ways to ruin it all (drugs, alcohol etc). Utterly a good book.

      Couldn't put this one down. Starts off with five children in kindergarden and goes through to their early twenties. Much tragedy and love - a book of the twenty first century gets you in the gut and won't let you go.
    • 3/5
      I have never read a Danielle Steel book before and after this I am not sure if I will again.I enjoyed this book at the beginning but found that it got progressively worse and more depressing. By the time I had finished the book I was feeling depressed. This book is about 5 children that meet at kindergarten and grow up together as best friends 'the big five' the five are inseparable and always swear to be best friends forever. The book takes you through family problems, drugs, alcohol, suicide and death. It was a good book but I just wouldn't choose to pick it up and read it again as like I said by the end I was feeling thoroughly depressed. It is one of those books that stay with you and you find it hard to shake off.

      This book caught my interest from their encounter in kindergarten until adulthood! Once started it was difficult to put down!
    • 2/5
      I typically like Danielle Steele books but this one took a long time to get into the story and really develop the characters. It was sad and progressively got worse and ended rather abruptly. I am glad I didn't buy this book or I would be getting rid of it shortly.
    • 5/5
      This book wad very enjoyable, it follows 5 families who met the first day of kindergarten and finished as the children were adults. Great telling of how life can be. These are friendships that I am afraid don't exsist as much today and that means that the young adults of today are missing out on so much laughter, joy,tears, adventures with forever friends.

      Goodreads writes:

      Five children meet on the first day of kindergarten. In the years that follow, they become friends and more than friends. Together, they will find strength, meet challenges, face life’s adventures, endure loss, face stark realities, and open their hearts. In this moving novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel traces their unforgettable journey—full of tests and trials—as three boys and two girls discover the vital bonds that will last a lifetime.
