Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Happiness
Danielle Steel · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Dan John Miller
48/100
👎 Skip It
This one leans hard into comfort-read territory — a woman inheriting an English manor falls for the estate attorney — but even longtime fans found it thin, with a lot of page time on outfits and routine instead of story. If you just want cozy escapism you might still enjoy it, but it's not one of Steel's stronger books. Dan John Miller's narration is presumably competent, though nothing specific has been reported about the performance.
