REVIEW: The Secret Diamond Sisters by Michelle Madow

Savannah. Courtney. Peyton.  The three sisters grew up not knowing their father and not quite catching a break. But it looks like their luck is about to change when they find out the secret identity of their long-lost dad—a billionaire Las Vegas hotel owner who wants them to come live in a gorgeous penthouse hotel suite. Suddenly the Strip's most exclusive clubs are all-access, and with an unlimited credit card each, it should be easier than ever to fit right in. But in a town full of secrets and illusion, fitting in is nothing compared to finding out the truth about their past. 

I received a free copy of this book from HarelequinTEEN in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Thanks HarlequinTEEN! 

  2.5 of 5 stars. My prediction about this book before reading it was it would be something like the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” TV show… You know, 3 rich sisters that live in a rich environment that party, drink, and eat fancy dinners… But as I read more of the book, I realized that my prediction was kind of true (I didn’t think it was going to be). 3 sisters, who were thrown into Vegas-stardom because of their billionaire father. Sounds kind of like the Kardashians, right? My mom loves to watch “Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and she told me that the Kardashians weren’t always famous and rich, and that they we’re thrown into stardom later in life, partly because of one of the sisters, Kim. I compared the 3 sisters to the 3 Kardashian sisters and thought Savannah was like Kim, Kourtney somewhat like Peyton, and Courtney like Khloe. Just because I’m comparing the 3 sisters in this book (Savannah, Courtney, Peyton) to the Kardashian sisters doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy the book. I liked how there were perspectives from all 3 sisters (I honestly don’t know how the book would be written if it weren’t), but I found that Courtney’s perspective would often drag and become more boring than Savannah and Peyton’s perspectives. I also really like how this book was printed on recycled paper; except that’s irrelevant and not related to my opinion on the actual book. (Good job, HarelequinTEEN! SAVE THE EARTH!) Overall I thought the book was rather entertaining, and I enjoyed how I got to experience the extravagant city of Las Vegas without flying there myself. 

 My rating system: (I do use half stars.)

 5 - I do not use the 5 star. Not because a book might not be worthy, but because a book is never perfect. 

4 - I loved it! There weren't too many flaws, and I had no trouble getting through it. (A 4 star rating is the highest rating I've ever given a book.) 

3 - I enjoyed the book, but there we're flaws that made me enjoy it less. 

2 - I finished the book, but there were too many flaws for me to enjoy it. 

1 - I could not finish the book, and I probably did not finish it....
