Diamond grew up in the ghetto, an environment which affected her emotional well-being in more ways than one. Without a father to guide her in her early teenage years, she made some very stupid choices. On top of the list was engaging in a toxic relationship with a man seven years her senior. The unresolved emotions involved affected her more than she realised and she ended up sleeping with her ex after marrying someone else. She thought she had it all together until that one flame ignited a huge fire of burning issues. All she wanted was to grow mentally, to be at peace and she had to learn an important lesson along the way: always speak your truth. Ultimately, she had to make a choice through all the doubts, insecurities and confusion. A choice nobody had to make but herself.

The Truth Between Us
This isn't a love story. Not really. It's a story about secrets - the kind that rot from the inside out. About teenagers growing up too fast, in a world that's way too good at pretending. At the center of it all is Chloe, or "Bubbles" as she's sometimes called - sharp-tongued, observant, and far more entangled in the lives around her than she ever intended to be. Told through multiple points of view, this novel unfolds in fragments - messy, raw, and real. From betrayal to blackmail, buried trauma to teenage obsession, each chapter pulls you deeper into a web that's been years in the making. There are relationships. There's heartbreak. But don't get it twisted - this isn't about falling in love. It's about falling apart.
