My Side of the Diamond, what an unexpected book.
When I received the book I was simply overjoyed at the cover and elastic binding, and was especially pleased with the cover being hard back. It really gave the whole book the feeling of a diary or journal and that in opening and reading it you were being allowed a glimpse of something private, secret and very personal.
This feeling was reinforced when I began reading as it is written as a recount of events from different people. The characters are complex and believable even if some of them are aliens! I think that because the story is based around a well known incident gives the narrative more credence. Love in it's many forms is explored throughout the book and whether you believe in UFO's or life on other planets it certainly leaves you with a few questions.... What if?? And does Jazmin find the peace, belief and acceptance she deserved?
