Once again, Danielle Steel writes a great romance novel. Not only does ALL THAT GLITTER have romance, but also heartbreak. I enjoyed the relationship between Coco and Sam. Everyone should have a best friend like that--no matter what, they are there for each other. I have read almost all of Danielle Steele's books, and I still enjoy them. If you like romance, this is a great book to cuddle up with!
