Iris was a delight!
I was hooked from the first page! Danielle Steel is known for her way of wrapping an emotional situation around her reader's heart and not letting go and that's exactly what happens when we meet young Iris who can sing like an angel, but has a less than warm living situation. This book is about her journey through life both as a child and as a young adult when she first gets the chance to fly solo and spread her wings. Life isn't easy, but she shines throughout and holds steady until she gets the chance of a lifetime and the doors to a fulfilling life begin to swing open. I enjoyed every minute of her story and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a coming of age story with heartfelt characters and bits of intrigue and drama mixed in.

Outstanding
The High Notes After reading "The High Notes" by Danielle Steele I thought about that old saying, "If you have lemons, make lemonade". There were a lot of lemon in this story for Iris Cooper. There were so many different emotions in this story. There are places I cried, felt anger and was always rooting for Iris. I love the strong characters in the story. I was engulfed in the storyline and it was a page-turner. I am gladly giving this book a 5 out of 5 I am recommend this book to friend, family and others I received this complimentary copy from the publisher for a honest review. All thoughts and opinions are mine and mine alone.

An amazing journey to fame
The best thing I have ever done is to not have read the blurb for The High Notes. Not having a clue of what would happen had be reading page after page. It was so addictive. I was completely hooked. Reading Iris's story was an inspiration. She was used by her father. She was used by managers. Sin all that time, she remained true to herself. She rose above them all, becoming a major success and discovering true happiness. Iris has always loved to sing. Her voice leaves people speechless as she hits the high notes. At age 12, her father gets her on a stage, taking advantage of her for many, many years. Her time with her father broke my heart. Her strength and determination to survive was an inspiration. The High Notes was filled with shocking moments. I couldn't wait to read how the author would handle each situation. Like the main characters, she handled everting with grace. She ended the story on such a high note, that days later I am still thinking about Iris and the family she chose.

Great story! Another hit from Danielle!
I loved this book the main protagonists highs, and lows were very extreme. Music, friendship and family or lack there of dominated. Also proves that hard work and perseverance pays off. The ending , well, it disappointed but in a good way if that makes sense, you have to read for yourself.
