Reasons why I gave two stars..I’m not pretty sure (doubtful) if I liked India’s character in the story. She was too much under her husband Doug who wouldn’t let her get back to work as a professional photographer. She was easily manipulated by her husband. But optimistic signs of her which I liked- She’s a great mother, determined and humble. As I was reading the first few chapter, I found it irritating that same thing/conflict comes out-and that is India’s insistent of getting back to her work as a photographer (Why now?? Maybe Doug was right) but soon I understood and I felt her as a woman that she wanted to be complete and was so sick of just being a plain housewife with same errands everyday for years...And eventually succeeded and went back to work with a big conditions that both she and her husband plus the children must face. At some point, there were times that I judge Doug as a husband (like most readers do, I guess). He was selfish, rude to words, pathetic, insensitive and dumb for treating India. And here comes Paul, I liked him at first but almost hated him for treating India like taken for granted. Thinking of his dead wife and all the nightmares!! (Well, I can’t blame him) But Paul proved it wrong. He surprised me in the end. I would love to hear Doug jealous of India for having Paul with her in the end. All I thought was that BITTERSWEET was all about a husband and a wife, despite of the problems, pressure, divorce, faithfulness issues and adjustment, managed to be with each other. (For better or for worse as the famous line says). The story proved me wrong (Again). The story was unpredictable and fast moving, that a husband and wife may never be a husband and wife in the end, instead, it might be a wife and a new lover.PS. I still hate Doug! Such a pain in the ass…..

So India (the main character) was a very famous photographer 17 years ago and she wants to get back to work... but the "big" trouble is that, the jackass she calls husband, Doug, dont let her.This is the first book of Danielle Steel that i read and i have to said that im a little bit dissapointed.When I first started reading, I read one review that said India was the bravest heroin that she ever read before... hell no.So i started reading the book ... and are fifty pages for her to ask for permission from her husband to return to work. FIFTY PAGES. Seriously. When he says "No"she just shut and let it pass.On page 217 she asks again if she can back to work part time. And he gets angry and leaves her.So she ends up begging him. Really?That's not the end but... well basically that's it.
