And the OTHER one…

Abandoned at birth, identical twin baby girls lie side by side in an orphanage cot.

Until the arrival of Hollywood film star Scarlet Wilde, desperate to adopt a baby.

Chubby beautiful Lola is the chosen one.

Sickly, weak Grace is left all alone.

One pastor’s daughterRescued from the orphanage by a violent pastor, the sense of abandonment haunts Grace still. She knows there’s not one person in the world she can ever rely on.

One Hollywood wild-childFrom her tangled and publicly played out love life, to her first arrest, Lola Wilde has lived in the spotlight as long as she can remember. And the paparazzi know, and care, more about her than her washed-up starlet of a mother…

[Paula Phillips · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been one book that I have been waiting for ever since I saw it reviewed a couple of weeks back on Chicklit Club. The blurb sounded fantastic and something that I would love and OMG I did , it was amazing and such a fast-paced and intriguing read. Ever since I was younger , I have loved that whole idea of separated at birth and even better when it's identical twins and they don't know about each other. When Lola and Grace were born, their parents were both killed in a fire that raged through their little village in South Africa. The girls were then taken to an orphanage, Lola was nice and healthy yet Grace was sickly and they weren't sure how long she would live as food and costs were tight. When the girls were weeks old, Scarlet Wilde -actress was looking for a black baby to adopt and she found one in Lola though oblivious to the knowledge that Lola was a twin. Years passed and Grace was finally adopted by "The Pastor" - a strict and abusive father and highly religious. The book then skips to 17 years later and Lola is in and out of rehab and living the life and part of "troubled spoilt rich girl" and Grace is the "bookish shy girl off to Oxford University". Four years more pass and this time the girls are going to come face to face - well sort of in Las Vegas while Grace is there for her friend's Wedding dress shopping. Over the last course of the novel, the girls try to not only find each other but also discover tidbits of their past lives and what could have been .
Black Diamond was a fast read and I look forward to reading more by Havana Adams and if you loved the movies "The Parent Trap" , Twitches and Twitches Too.

With a prologue that hooked me, this is a special book. Lola and Grace are twins that are separated as babies in an orphanage, only Grace was never meant to live. Black Diamond shows us how the two girls grew up and how radically different their fortunes have been. I loved reading both of their stories, An addictive and compulsive read, that is a a rare diamond!
