Purchase options and add-ons

In her electrifying first novel, Nicole Richie tells the sensational story of Chloe Parker, a rock royalty princess and a card-carrying member of Hollywood's inner circle. At the age of seven, Chloe was adopted by a music superstar and his wife, transforming her life from rags to riches. What followed was a wild childhood distinguished by parties with movie stars and rock idols, run-ins with the press and the police, and a subsequent stint in rehab.

Suddenly Chloe shoots to instant fame as a spokesmodel for a national ad campaign. When her long-lost birth father appears out of nowhere and her best friend betrays her, she must struggle to keep it all together -- her sobriety, her friendships, and her integrity despite the betrayals of those around her. Ultimately, Chloe comes spectacularly into her own, achieving stardom in her own right and finding true love.

Through the eyes of the captivating Chloe and the talented voice of Nicole Richie, we are given a no-holds-barred look at Hollywood's new elite, behind the velvet ropes, inside star-studded premieres and parties. Whether they're doing the "circuit" (begin with shopping at Barneys New York, Marni, and Fred Segal, then end with the grilled vegetable salad at the Ivy), or ending up on the front page of your favorite weekly magazine, Chloe Parker and her fellow A-listers never fail to dazzle, their larger-than-life dramas more riveting than any reality show.

Nicole really really likes herself

Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2016

I love Nicole Ritchie. Her house of Harlow line I have more pieces of it then I can count. She's a guilty pleasure that's for sure. I bought this book to be a fluff read I didn't think it would be a next Tolstoy but I assumed it would be entertaining enough to get me through a glass of wine and a night off.
It starts with a character that is such a thinly veiled autobiographical portrait of herself through rose glasses. I love Nicole Ritchie her style is to die for but her vague musings of how pretty and lucky and rich she is turned me off. I have a younger daughter who read part of it and said "she's really snobby mom" in that it was entertaining but also anger inducing. Her self congratulatory pats on the back are nauseating but I'm a fan so I should like it. I still like her but Nicole stick to jewellery and shoes. Your love for yourself will alienate people as it nearly did me. Try it but beware your eye rolling skills will increase tenfold.

Ok book if you are into celebrity.

Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2010

The writing style the author uses is kind of annoying - since most of the people who will want to read this will probably be trying to figure out which character is based on what real-life person. Thus, having Nicole Ritchie as a character in the book itself, and having the main character a Nicole of sorts, gets confusing and kind of annoying to read. If you can get past that though, it's an OK book. Not as good as some of the other celebrity books (Tori Spelling or Bunny Tales for example). This one is written for a pretty young audience I think.

A pretty good book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2013

In my opinion,
this is actually the best of the two books written by Nicole Richie.
This book seems to incorporate autobiographical elements
that have been stylized and written in kind of a raw, realistic way.
I enjoyed this book and wish it would've gotten as much (if not, more) press
as her second book.
(By the way, this is definitely a mature book. I recommend it for young adults and older!)

We all know Nicole Richie as a reality television star, a fashion queen, and as Lionel Richie's adopted daughter. What can now be added to that list is an author packed with potential for more great books in the future. This was a fairly quick read; the plot was very easy to understand. "The Truth About Diamonds" is loosely based on Nicole Richie's upbringing (although she denies it, those who have background information on Richie know otherwise). In the book, Chole, the main character, is adopted by a rock star and rarely receives attention from her famous father. She has a posse of friends-who've-done-nothing-to-get-rich, and they all stay close throughout the book, regardless of the problems each one of them face personally. Chole is a drug addict, who says that Simmon (who I assume in real life is a representation of Paris Hilton) is the friend she learned all her bad behavior from. Chole and Simmon get caught up in a commercial ad for makeup that really helps to boost their reputation and celebrity status. They get lost in a whirlwind of fame, fortune, and money, and find out the hard way how easy it is to forget the "truth" about "diamonds."
