Publisher's summary

Danielle Steel takes us beyond the dazzle of Hollywood in her compelling new novel—the story of one woman’s journey from suburban mom to award-winning screenwriter...and all the joy, heartbreak, and challenges along the way.

The phone call came on a hot July day—a day like any other for Marin County mom and freelance writer Tanya Harris. But this call—from Tanya’s agent—was anything but ordinary, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the chance to write a major Hollywood screenplay, a dream she had put aside long ago to devote her energies to her family. This time, Tanya knows she cannot refuse, even though she’s torn about leaving her husband and their daughters. From the moment she steps into her lush bungalow at the fabled Beverly Hills Hotel, Tanya is thrust into an intoxicating new world where she feels reborn—energized by the creativity swirling around her—yet the pull of her family at home is strong.

Suddenly she’s working alongside A-list actors and a Hollywood legend: Oscar-winning producer Douglas Wayne, a man who always gets what he wants–and who seems to have his sights set on her. Flying home between shoots, struggling to reconnect with a family that seems to need her less and less, Tanya watches helplessly as her old life is pulled out from under her in the most crushing of ways.

As her two lives collide, as one award-winning film leads to another, Tanya begins to wonder if she can be a wife, a mother, and a writer at the same time. And just as she confronts the toughest choice she has faced, she is offered another dazzling opportunity—one that could recast her story in an amazing new direction, complete with an ending she never could have written herself.

In Bungalow 2, Danielle Steel takes us into a world few ever see—a world of fame and fortune, celebrity and genius–daring to show us the real lives, real dreams, and real struggles hidden beneath the flash and glitter of Hollywood.

very enjoyable

This book was really good. I was able to get into the characters of this book. Some of the characters I loved and some I hated. That's what makes a good book for me. I recommend this book for those who love Danielle Steel's book and for those who are reading Danielle Steel's books for the first time. You never get lost with the characters names and you
will either love them or hate them.

Loved it!

I love this book, yes, there is a normal repetitiveness at the beginning, but the storyline in the characters were fun to get to know. I wish there was a second book.

It was a good listen!

An enjoyable story with a great narrator! Michael Boatman’s performance was wonderful! There were several repetitious specific words throughout, but the listen was addicting, I couldn’t stop listening! Totally recommend!

Very Very Good

I may have rated this before, but it's worth having, finally a woman whom I thought at first was spineless, but in the end, she was a champ.I found the husband to be arrogant and very dominating, also I never trusted him from the begining...if you haven't got the book, by all mean's do so...a real winner
