Summary
Kezia Cooper Hobson， recently widowed， arrives in New York from San Francisco。 Determined to make a fresh start， she has just completed the sale of her Pacific Heights home， not to mention her husband’s venture capital firm， and in doing so， is also freed from her responsibility as a board member of the company。 Bringing with her only a few personal treasures， she is excited to move into the blank slate of a beautiful midtown penthouse， in the city that she has always loved。 It is also where her two adult daughters now live。
As Kezia settles into her new apartment， she meets her movie-star next-door neighbor， Sam Stewart， whose terrace borders hers。 Just a couple of weeks after she arrives， however， a devastating crisis strikes New York City。 Kezia and Sam find themselves connecting over their strong impulse to help those in need。 As they share a life-changing experience of volunteering， a bond is sparked and a friendship is formed。
Kezia’s daughters， Kate and Felicity， are taken aback by their mother’s new friendship， both more focused on their own love lives than hers。 But Kezia is learning that the changes she’s making are just what she needs to open new horizons。
In this powerful and moving new novel， Danielle Steel illuminates the importance of human connection and embracing brave change， proving it’s never too late for a brand-new start。

MehThe book was somewhat maudlin with the attacks by American terrorists on buildings in NYC。 I found it to be both sad and depressing。 The main characters helped for one night; but spent the remainder of the book traveling and living their high lifestyles。 Not my favorite DS book， for sure。

Refreshing and Inspiring I enjoy reading all of Danielle Steel’s books。 However， this is one of the best that I’ve seen her right。 The story had depth， although predictable in some areas， was uplifting to read。 I continue to look forward to her books。 I generally preorder all of them。

Different from most of her books。 Hard to read in places。 The characters were very good and their stories interesting。

I liked this one， but I’ve noticed that Danielle Steel’s books are getting much shorter and a little too contrite。 Everything wrapped up so quickly without much depth or plot development。 However， it’s always good for a quick fantasy or escape。

Never Too Late by Danielle Steel is the story of Sam and Kezia， both in their sixties， both widowed， who met during a catastrophic event in New York City one Fourth of July when instead of fireworks they watched bombs explode， bringing down buildings and killing more people than 9/11。 Kezia had just moved from San Francisco into her new penthouse; Sam had lived in the other penthouse for over a year。 When the call for volunteers went out， they both answered。 Kezia had once been a nurse practitio Never Too Late by Danielle Steel is the story of Sam and Kezia， both in their sixties， both widowed， who met during a catastrophic event in New York City one Fourth of July when instead of fireworks they watched bombs explode， bringing down buildings and killing more people than 9/11。 Kezia had just moved from San Francisco into her new penthouse; Sam had lived in the other penthouse for over a year。 When the call for volunteers went out， they both answered。 Kezia had once been a nurse practitioner and had kept her license up so she was able to help with patients。 Sam helped by moving body bags。 Both of Kezia’s daughters were out of the country so they were unable to contact her。 The city， the country， was locked down tight。 No planes， no people walking the streets as they normally would in New York City。 It was a fearsome time but it built a bond of friendship quickly between the two。 Of course， family soon took over and with it some interesting changes。 As always with Danielle Steel， the backstory is as important as the current one。 She does it so beautifully。 Sam and Kezia were both just regular people， despite Sam being a well-known film star。 Kezia was living with the bare minimum as both her belongings from San Francisco and her new furniture were both to be delivered at the end of August。 As Sam and Kezia got closer， so did their families。 Sam had a son， his age between that of Kezia’s daughters。 In this day and age， it is wonderful to read a simple book， with regular people， that the ending is foretold by the nature of the book。 It always makes me happy to read a work by Steel。 She does it so well。I was invited to read a free e-ARC of Never Too Late by Random House publishing Group-Ballantine， through Netgalley。 All thoughts and opinions are mine。 #Netgalley #RandomHousePublishingGroupBallantine #DanielleSteel #NeverTooLate 。。。more

I enjoyed reading this book and believe it or not， this was the first book by Danielle Steel I have ever read。 I thought this book was excellently paced and never for a moment took its eyes off the main point of the story。How should we approach our life when we are thrown a curve ball， a seriously bad turn of events？ A death of a loved one。 A citywide or even nationwide catastrophe。 A breakup in a relationship you thought was “the one”。 Every one of us has faced our own version of that point in I enjoyed reading this book and believe it or not， this was the first book by Danielle Steel I have ever read。 I thought this book was excellently paced and never for a moment took its eyes off the main point of the story。How should we approach our life when we are thrown a curve ball， a seriously bad turn of events？ A death of a loved one。 A citywide or even nationwide catastrophe。 A breakup in a relationship you thought was “the one”。 Every one of us has faced our own version of that point in our lives， but how should we approach it？ That is precisely what the author seeks to address in this novel。 Everyone in this story is at that turning point in their lives。 First we meet Kezia whose husband died suddenly five years earlier—a statistic of the COVID pandemic。 Then we meet Sam whose beloved wife died suddenly two years ago in a plane crash。 Kezia’s eldest daughter， Kate， has spent four years with a man whom she believed was going to be her husband。 He had no interest in marriage—ever。 Sam’s son John was dating a woman who had serious plans to marry him。 John wasn’t interested。 Then here was the city of New York itself who had to face a second terrorist attack and the death of thousands of citizens。So what happens to life when tragedy strikes？ You grieve， but push on and try to live life to the fullest。 That is what the characters in this book tried to do。 It wasn’t always easy。 But progress， love， and life were in front of them。 How they got there was the key and it made this book special。I loved the chance to read this book and highly recommend it。 My only regret is that it took so long to finally read a Danielle Steel novel！ 。。。more

It had been quite some time since I had picked up a Danielle Steel novel and I was excited to do so， as I have enjoyed her writing and her books in the past。 I must say though， that this book was a challenge for me to make it through given the terrorist attack that makes up a great deal of the beginning of this book。Kenzia Cooper Hobson loses her husband unexpectedly and she leaves her life on the West Coast and moves to New York City to be closer to her two adult daughters。 Once she moves into It had been quite some time since I had picked up a Danielle Steel novel and I was excited to do so， as I have enjoyed her writing and her books in the past。 I must say though， that this book was a challenge for me to make it through given the terrorist attack that makes up a great deal of the beginning of this book。Kenzia Cooper Hobson loses her husband unexpectedly and she leaves her life on the West Coast and moves to New York City to be closer to her two adult daughters。 Once she moves into her new home， she finds out that movie star Sam Stewart lives next door to her。 The two not only develop a friendship， but more blossoms as well as they navigate the trauma that comes from the attack that happens to their city。Not only are readers treated to the relationship between Kenzia and Sam， Kenzia's daughters Felicity and Kate also find love。 I have to admit， I didn't always love Felicity and Kate。 They weren't my favorite characters， but I'm certain that there are others that probably loved them。This story provided second chances， love and showcased that it's never too late to be happy。**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review** 。。。more

Another entertaining and marvellous story from Steel。 Strong characters and an interesting plot。 I liked this one so much。 The exploration of the relationships between the mom and her two daughters was something I particularly appreciated。 Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC。

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy。 This was a pretty typical DS book。 Tragic event， everyone falls in love， lots of repeating itself。
