Review: In Girl on a Diamond Pedestal we are introduced to Noelle Birch who was a child prodigy at playing the piano until she grew up and lost her novelty, so her mother ran away with all of her earnings. As she is preparing to sell the home she grew up in she meets Ethan Grey (for some reason it makes me think of fifty shades, but these are on the same level), who offers her a chance to get back at her mother, but he also has an ulterior motive as his father abandoned their family for his mistress who was Noelle’s mother although Noelle doesn’t know this. In order to get back at the people who hurt them, they decide on a sham engagement in order to shame her mother and ruin his father.
However, soon after they get engaged Noelle finds herself more and more drawn to Ethan and the similar lonely childhoods they had, and she might even be developing feelings for him, but she has to pull her emotions in, telling herself that they are partners in crime nothing more, but this might change now that Ethan’s father is aware of his plan and makes his own plan to prevent his son from inheriting what he feels should be his.
As we cross into the second half of the story, Ethan’s father enters the picture once again and tries to destroy everything Ethan and Noelle have built together, and he succeeds while It is only temporary. Noelle leaves Ethan to discover herself but not a fortnight later he has found her but this time he appears in her life he is penniless and wants them to learn and grow together and, in the end,, they have everything they have ever wanted together.
