Proof that just because you are famous does not mean you can do whatever you want. I'm a fan of Nicole Richie's, but not a fan of her writing.
A novel about a socialite who by her own words was a spoiled bitch. Her dad goes to jail and she is forced to live in "poverty" as her money is frozen. So she flees to New Orleans where she manages to meet another rich socialite who is nice, unlike her past friends, finds a hot boyfriend, and sadly for her gets a job. She still manages to live a lush life, never pay for anything, literally have no challenges at all other then papparrazi saying mean things, and then become a famous singer. There are some death threats thrown in to I should add.
This seems to me to be a rich persons idea of hardship! It's laughable that I'm supposed to feel for her. Nicole is trying to tell us this life she now has to live is hard. Not paying rent, getting a job with no qualifications, attending dinner parties with rich people...really, I feel so sorry for this girl! She has it so rough!
Also her transformation from spoiled brat to caring everyday girl is so unrealistic and sudden its unbelievable.
I recommend this book to anyone who was once a billionaire and now has to settle for being worth only millions. You will understand the plight of the main character! Anyone else could easily stay away from this one and not miss a thing!… (altro)

The Truth About Diamonds: A Novel di Nicole Richie

I thought this was going to be a self-indulgent, vapid account of celebrity life. Instead, it impressed me as a simple read that's very easy to get into and keeps your attention without a doubt. It's written with a somewhat raw honesty and laced with the dry, sarcastic humor that Richie is known for. It's interesting to see her out of the spotlight and glamour, and simply speaking from her own point of view. For once, her audience gets a glimpse of Nicole Richie - actual human being.
