Star by Danielle Steele

I’ve just finished reading Danielle Steele’s novel Star today. To me, the main topic of this novel is about life’s beauty, loyalty, and faith. Sometimes two people are so destined to be together, but, circumstances hold them apart. If their love is strong enough then they will come together in the end.

It’s such a beautiful story and I especially love the way Danielle expresses the feeling of love with “thunder and lightning”. I surely know how that felt and it was a real close description of it.

I have to pinpoint something that caught my attention in this novel. I’ve always said that sometimes beauty can be a curse. People seem to think being beautiful is a blessing, but, it is really not that simple. Take example of Crystal Wyatt, her beauty caused her estrangement from her family, dreaded crimes and abuses she had to confront. I felt almost sad for her. I think at one stage I actually came to an idea that for every women with certain beauty level, it is compulsory for them to have some basic martial art skill. Hahaha, please forgive me and my randomness.

Now, back to what I really want to say. We do have to make choices in life, hard choices sometimes. Hard choices that are hard to stick to, sacrifices we have to make for these choices. Other times, the choices have been made for us. And it’s up to us to deal with it, either to grow strong with it or lose the battle.

In this novel, both main characters made wrong choices at times, which lead their existence to a whirlwind of bittersweet events. But they didn’t give up; they rose up from the problem, charged through them and in the end overcoming all of them. They’ve made themselves stars in their world and in one another’s world. I would love to see me being just that one day. Hopefully, one day...
