Bliss by Danyel Smith Book Review

Danyel Smith’s sophomore novel, Bliss, is a tale of a behind the scenes music Diva, Eva Glenn. As a record exec, Eva has seen a lot during her career in the music industry.

The novel spins around Eva’s quest to find the type of happiness that no amount of money can buy. She escapes to an island in the Bahamas with hopes of finding the joy that’s been missing from her life.

The author cleverly inserts music lingo in the story, but don’t be confused, it’s not your typical hip-hop story. In fact, the music is only the backdrop to a deeper story. How can one have success, but still feel lost?

During her down period, Eva contemplates on whether or not to keep her baby after a number of previous abortions. She also must come to grips with her non-committed relationships with D’artagnan Addison (DART) and Ronald Littlejohn (Ron).

Ms. Smith’s novel BLISS is a gripping story from beginning to end. After reading it, you’ll feel educated about the music industry and entertained at the same time.
