Wow, who knew Nicole Richie could write? My expectations were blown away by Priceless. The story is a tale of overcoming adversity, finding yourself, and becoming who you should be. You could definitely see Ms. Richie's life on the pages, her past has definitely shaped her writing, but then again, authors are told to write what you know right?
I was definitely a bit irritated by some of the characters and their superiority, their treatment of the common folks. But Charlotte overcomes that. She finds her place, and manages to make it on her own.The adversity was glossed over a bit, and I'm sure in real life would have been more difficult to overcome, but I think it worked in this story.
All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and I wish Ms. Richie much success with her writing career. I'm now on the lookout for her first story, The Truth About Diamonds.
Who do I recommend to? Anyone who likes a well written story, about fame, fortune lost and won, true friends, love and well, anyone who is curious about Nicole Richie's writing.

Definitely enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It was a good, easy read and I enjoyed the fact that Ryan Seacrest's character's name was Peter Lakeshore.

*3.75* stars
My expectations were not very high reading this novel. As much as I love Nicole Richie's fashion designs, it was hard to envision how she would be as an author. But I was pleasantly surprised!
My impression from the early chapters was that this would be a story about a poor little rich girl and her first-world problems. But it turned into so much more. Charlotte is a girl who seems to have it all until her father is arrested for fraud. The book follows her journey from New York to New Orleans to Los Angeles as she tries to escape the scandal and live her own life. Told from her perspective, the book develops into a light thriller and held my interest throughout. Fun read overall!

didn-t-finish
November 25, 2019I didn't finish Priceless (mostly because my brain melted), so I'm not going to rate it. But oh my God this book is really, really, so incredibly bad. On many levels.

I was super excited for this book bc I grew up in the 2000s where Nicole Richie was one of the IT girls. Paris grew up to be wonderful and so successful, I had hoped maybe Nicole had found her calling with writing, she has not.
It saddens me to say this was literally one of the top 3 worst books I’ve read this year… and I’ve read over 300.
The problem wasn’t the storyline. The plot was cheesy and generic, literally a story line lifetime has used for about 30 movies already. Rich girls dad arrested for fraud, she no longer has access to money and has to move and start a much lower class life. But I mean, I like those cheesy and generic movies, so I would like this but the writing was dreadful.
It was so cringe to read. It definitely screamed out of touch celebrity trying to use a skill they don’t have and then underpays an editor. About 60% of this book was unneeded detail, there doesn’t need to be multiple adjectives before every other noun. The way all of the characters talked were awful, they were all unlikable, the entire book was honestly just a mess.
It is clear that the highest education Nicole has in regards to writing is 7th grade English when they teach you about imagery. She ran with the excessive terrible descriptions through this entire book and ruined it.

You would think this is totally suckish 'cause this is a product of a reality star, but honestly it couldn't be less than. I absolutely loved it. Honestly.
Honestly.
I have absolutely no problem with Nicole Richie, actually. She's hilarious. When I was a wee child, I used to watch The Simple Life with my cousins, which probably wasn't the best decision for younger children, and I reblog Candidly Nicole gifs whenever they appear on my Tumblr dashboard. Hilarious chica, really.
But this book. THIS BOOK. Seriously, y'all it's the bomb diggity.
The story starts off with Charlotte Williams, a young, pretty socialite, heiress, who has just recently returned to NYC after a year in Paris. She's welcome to warm arms, of course. All her friends and her father, who sees her as the light of his life, is thrilled to have her back. She parties. Enjoys the town. Lives it up.
But then, scandal befalls the Williams family. Her father, Jacob Williams, has been arrested for fraud, and our protagonist's bank account is suddenly washed out. The phones are ringing off-the-hook, and half of NYC wants Charlotte's father's head on a platter after he solicited all their money from them.
Charlotte is dumbfounded with good reason. They already came from money, so why would he do this? The media is camped outside her penthouse at all hours. Her friends begin to alienate her, some even take to CNN with "statements." Her father never gives a reason for his crime, actually. He starts to become a little loony, even.
While going through a couple of the messages on her answering machine, she finds a familiar, non-threatening voice. Miss Millie, her longlost caretaker, who is inviting her to her place in New Orleans after hearing about her tragic tale on the news. Charlotte takes the invitation immediately after helping out a few people. She figures she needs a change of scenery, and she's all for it. Anything to get away from the drama in the Big Apple? Um, yeah.
So she gets to Miss Millie's and it's like no time has passed between them. Miss Millie takes her into her arms and Charlotte breaks down for the first time since the horrid news broke, then promptly passes out, all Disney-like.
Although, everyone in Millie's house accepts Charlotte openly, Millie's son, Jackson, still carries some childhood resentment toward her since he believes she "took" his mother when she went away to take care of Charlotte after her mother died when she was small for a few months. I thought this was a dumb reason, but whatever. He got over it.
And Charlotte is a singer. Big time. So is Jackson, ironically. There's a scene where she jumps onstage to join Jackson's band for a song and he's blown away. Which is nice, don't get me wrong, but I've read so many of these with protagonists and heroines with "syrupy voices", it's starting to irk me. If she were a backup singer or something less extravagant, I'd probably be a little more lenient.
There's something for everyone in this book, though. It's a sweet beach read. There's fashion, scenery, tidbits of meager romance. Kat Karraby makes the book most of the time, and her tale about prom is a memorable one. (Kids are cruel. No lie.)
Well, this certainly exceeded my expectations, so read if you dare.

Priceless basically tells the story of rich socialite, Charlotte Williams, and how her life is turned upside down when her father is arrested for fraud. With the family home seized, all bank accounts frozen and the paparazzi out to get her, Charlotte flees to stay with her old nanny, Miss Millie, in New Orleans. Charlotte quickly gets to know Miss Millie’s son, Jackson, and the quirky Kat Karraby and her life starts to change.
I found this book to be a nice easy read, if a little predictable in places. I was pleasantly surprised to find the writing good. There were some parts that had a little bit too much description for me. I’m not a big fan of authors overly describing clothing and this book really went to town on this aspect. It did fit with the characters in that both Charlotte and Kat were big into fashion but it did feel like a case of throwing as many designer names as possible into the story and as a result I skipped over some of those parts. There’s some really good dialogue in the book. I particularly loved Kat’s witty quips. One of my favourite bits was a phone conversation between Kat and Tiffanii-with-two-i’s which had me giggling out loud. The characters were likable enough and developed throughout the story, although I did feel that maybe they developed a little too quickly. Within days Charlotte had a job, a new best friend and a boyfriend. I think I would have liked to see her struggle a little more.
Overall, this is an enjoyable enough read if you’re in the mood for a bit of light fun.

Who knew Nicole Richie could write, huh? In fact, she had already written two books. Priceless is a follow up novel after her first one, "The Truth about Diamonds". So basically, this chick lit novel is about a rich and beautiful New York socialite, named Charlotte Williams whose life is always revolved around fashion, partying, gossips and of course, men.
Since her mother's death, Charlotte's father had been her only family left. She loved him deeply, but he just wasn't there much as his work had kept them apart. When her father was arrested for embezzlement charges, her glittering world had fallen apart. Alone and penniless, she set off to New Orleans to find comfort from Miss Millie, her nanny who helped raise her after her mother's death.
Determined to improve her life, Charlotte settled for a job as a waitress in a local restaurant. She met a new friend, Kat, who introduced her to the Big Easy's bohemian style. Soon after that, Charlotte began to sing in a gig with Miss Millie's son, Jackson, where their friendship was starting to heat up.
However, an angry stalker had set up an unpleasant website about Charlotte and threatened to kill her for her father's crimes. Despite everything, Charlotte had learned how valuable a true friendship was. It was priceless.
All in all, I think it's a book worth reading!

I happened to see this at the library and was intrigued by the pretty cover. I went into this book without expectations and was blown away. Nicole Richie weaves an amazing tale about love, loss, friendship, and passion in this novel. A young girl is faced with a father facing prison time for embezzling, going from uber-rich to poverty level overnight, gains a stalker, and flees from everything she's ever known to start again in a new city. She embraces a new culture in New Orleans, new people, and somehow manages to find herself. The characters are all easy to relate to and you find yourself rooting for each one as the novel progresses. It ends nicely, however, a sequel could be possible since certain points of the story could be expanded. I am already looking into getting Nicole Richie's other novel, The Truth About Diamonds from the library to see if it is just as fabulous as this one!

2.5 / 5
This novel is entertaining enough, but only if you're in the mood for a light and easy-breezy chick-lit. "Priceless" is highly predictable already from it introduction to resolution, and the novel resembles a modern fairytale in terms of its cliché happy-ending and mary-sue characters.
While I craved more character-depth and -development, I enjoyed the novel's well-paced plot and engaging storyline. Aforementioned, this story contains lots of clichés and plot devices that have been seen before; however, when ignored, Richie's story is cute and heart-warming.
To summarise:
+ I enjoyed the pace of the novel
+ This story is a cute one. Save for a rainy day :)
+ Guilty-pleasure kind of read
- Clichés everywhere
- Mary-Sue character warning
- You may feel tempted to roll your eyes a few times (...and then a few more)
- Feels like a combo of all the ROMCOMs or teenage dramas you've ever seen in your life
Happy Reading!

Priceless (2010) follows Charlotte Williams, a spoiled but magnetic New York socialite whose privileged life collapses after her father is jailed for massive fraud. Left penniless, abandoned by friends, and targeted by angry victims of her father’s crimes, Charlotte flees to New Orleans, where she reconnects with her former nanny, Miss Millie. There, she navigates new relationships, including a tense romance with Jackson, a blues musician, and a complicated attraction to FBI Agent Scarsford, who suspects she may hold key evidence against her father.
As Charlotte rebuilds her life through music and work, she becomes the target of escalating threats, including a stalker who tracks her movements online. Her rising musical profile brings opportunity but also danger, culminating in the revelation that a New York reporter is behind the harassment, driven by revenge for his family’s financial ruin. His confrontation with Charlotte ends in his accidental death when Agent Scarsford intervenes.
With her wealth restored and a music career underway, Charlotte chooses a new future: supporting her friend Kat’s independence, letting go of old entitlement, and embracing a life reshaped by loss, growth, and hard-earned self-awareness.
My thoughts:
A little shallow and conceited, but a well-written and thought-out plotline. The story had a predictable ending, but it wasn’t a bad ending. Charlotte got her way in the end, but hopefully she is a changed person who uses her money for good. I wonder if Nicole Richie saw herself as Charlotte?

Charlotte has to go from riches to rags when her father is arrested for fraud and siphoning money from many people. Her home is repoiseesed by FBI and SEC , she is treated in the media as a whore and pariah .So she pays back the money her father vtook from his driver and housekeeper (she is lucky to have some money from her late mother).She moves to New Orleans, where her old nanny,Milly Pearl, lives.Milly had to leave her own 3 children behind when she raised Charlotte.Now
Jackson ,her son, resents Charlotte for that.Jackson, a builder,restores houses hit by hurricaine Katrina.He also has a jazz band the Pearly Kings,and composes music.
Charlotte meets Katherine (Kat) Karraby, owner of a vintage dress shop. They become friends and Kat gets her a job as a dishwasher at the family restaurant.Charlotte is stalked by someone who wants her dead, sets a website maligning her.She is mobbed in New York and fears the same in New Orleans.Jackson offers her a gig as a singer with his band.Jackson and Charlotte cut a single which is a success.
Charlotte must learn to live as a regular working person. She also likes Jackson, a black man.
There is no real end to the story. What will happen to her father? He disappears in the middle of the book, although the media mention him from time to time. Will Jack and Charlie continue to sing and record together ? Will they become a real couple?- there are no answers to these questions.Perhaps a sequel would help? Just saying.

בוקר טוב אנשים,
אז הספר הזה הוא לא סיפור אהבה, זהו סיפור על מישהי שאיבדה הכל אבל הצליחה להתקדם.
מתוארים פה חייה של בחורה בת 26 -נראה לי- אשר באה ממשפחה עמידה, שאבא שלה נעצר על כך שגנב כסף מהרבה מאוד אנשים -לא שהם היו זקוקים לו, פשוט כי הוא היה יכול- והיא מאבדת הכל, את הכסף, את הבית, ואת החברים שלה, אשר במקום לתמוך בה מספרים לחדשות איזו כלבה היא.
היא מקבלת שיחות איומים, או שפשוט מקללים אותה, ואישה אחת תקפה אותה בגלל מה שאבא שלה עשה.. לכן היא אורזת את הדברים שלה ונוסעת למקום שבו היא תרגיש נאהבת -לאומנת שהייתה לה אחרי שאמא שלה נפטרה- היא מגיעה לשם, מכירה את הבן של אותה אומנת.. ובזמן שמחפשת עבודה -ולא מוצאת כי לא באמת יש לה ניסיון במשהו- היא מכירה את קייט, הן מתיידדות והיא שולחת אותה לעבוד אצל אבא שלה.. הכל היה יכול להיות טוב, ויפה, רק שמופיעה סטוקר אשר מפרסם בהלוג את התמונות שלה וכותב כל הזמן דברים מגעילים עליה ומאיים עלייה, אבל היא בחורה חזקה ומצליחה להתמודד עם כל מה, שהחיים מביאים לה.
אהבתי מממש את הדמות הראשית, ממליצה.

this was a really light, easy reading and a kind of shitty book. I read it for when I poop, because it can be so cringe it pushes the poop right out, from frustration, but other than the amount of times it made me want to pull my hair out and cured my constipation, I can honestly say enjoyed the book, it's a silly little book about a silly little girl who thought she was all that and then got knocked down a few pegs, I had no expectations of this book and didn't know who Nicole Richie was (I was also like 12 when i read it) so I wasn't really disappointed by it. it's one of my guilty pleasures that I've read a few times, it extremely cliche and great for when you don't want to use a lot of brain power. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but I can't bring myself to fully hate it iykwim

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. It was a lighthearted yet serious women's fiction with a totally unique premise. I'd like to read more riches-to-rags stories. The author gave a tender portrayal of the protagonist's trials and yet also made a glamorous story out of it. I adored Kat and the titbits about vintage fashion in the book. An entertaining and warmhearted read. I'd definitely recommend.

The first few chapters of this book had me convinced it was going to be a trash celeb novel but actually it was a really good read. It had a captivating story and kept pace the whole way through. Would definitely recommend this book.

Fun fun fun. An easy and breezy read about a rich girl who loses everything and then moves to New Orleans and becomes a pop singer and finds true friendship. Hook this kinda thing up to my veins please.

Really enjoyed this book, great twist at the end.
Such a good read and well wrote by Nicole Ritchie.

Historien var sød og okay, men meget simpel og enkelt skrevet. Jeg manglede nogle sproglige finurligheder og jeg manglede at blive overrasket!
Dette var en okay ferielæsning hvor man bare gerne vil have en sød historie, som ikke kræver særlig meget af læseren.
Jeg elskede dog Kat's karakter og var helt vild med hendes person! Det løftede hele historien da hun kom med i den!

Having just been to New Orleans it was fun to read of Charlotte's experience of the city, but otherwise it was just a chick-lit you quickly forget.

I found this book to be a little boring . The plot was a little too generic and basic for me. It was well written and detailed though . Overall it was just ok.
