Diamonds in the Rough is the second book in the Secret Diamond Sisters by Michelle Madow. If you thought there was drama in the first book, get ready! A lot of the drama revolves around the family, which I liked, because we get some more information on their history and why Adrien's been out of the girl's lives. I don't completely excuse him, but I see how he thought he was doing the right thing. The girls reactions were pretty believable too. I think I'd feel all the things they felt upon hearing the new information.
We're getting to know some of the other characters more too. For example, Madison is growing on me. Can you believe that?
Diamonds in the rough had a Gossip Girl feel to it with maybe a touch of Cruel Intentions, but not enough to make it feel creepy. I enjoyed this book much better than the first one. I wasn't expecting a cliffhanger. Certainly not one like that. Dirty pool Miss Madow. You can't leave us hanging like that. ;-)
The ARC of The Secret Diamond Sisters was kindly provided to me by the author for review. The opinions are my own.

Remembrance is the first book in the Transcend Time Saga, a three part series about reincarnation and true love that Michelle successfully self-published.

Michelle's upcoming YA trilogy, The Secret Diamond Sisters, about three sisters who discover they are the secret heirs to a Las Vegas billionaire casino owner will be published by Harlequin TEEN in Spring 2014.
