The Truth About Diamonds: A Novel Hardcover – Nov. 8 2005
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.

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.

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!)
