Blaque Diamond’s The Ha“bitch”ual Liar is a raw and emotionally intense urban fiction novel that delves into the tangled web of lies, love, liberation, and mental health. If you're wondering how all of those elements could possibly coexist in one narrative, this book shows you exactly how.
At the center of the novel is Chyna, a woman seemingly living her best life. But don’t mistake her for your typical protagonist. Chyna is seductive, calculating, and unapologetically bold. She knows how to get what she wants—and how to make men give it to her. But having control doesn't mean having peace. Behind the fierce attitude and polished appearance lies a woman who is broken, emotionally and spiritually.
The image that she has created starts to unravel and the cracks she has been hiding for years start to show. What is making her fall apart? Will she be able to bring it all back together before she hits a brick wall?
Who am I? Who are?
These haunting question serves as the backbone of Blaque Diamond’s bold and emotionally charged narrative. This isn’t just a story about lies—it’s a raw, soul-stirring deep-dive into trauma, self-preservation, and emotional warfare.
📖 Plot Overview
Chyna’s life is a maze of trauma-induced decisions, toxic relationships, and deep-rooted emotional scars. Her upbringing was marked by abandonment, betrayal, and a lack of consistent love—planting seeds that would later bloom into dysfunction. Lying becomes her defense mechanism, her shield, and eventually, her prison.
Through failed romances, unhealthy friendships, and internal battles, Chyna’s journey is both captivating and cautionary. Some people in her life genuinely want to help her heal. Others only deepen her pain. But at the heart of it all is one crucial question: Will she break the cycle, or will the lies consume her for good?
💔 Character Development
Blaque Diamond doesn’t just create characters—she dissects them. Chyna has to be one of the most complex characters that I have ever read about. One minute, I am rooting on the one and the next I am feeling so sorry for her. The supporting characters are not just extras in Chyna’s life—they’re mirrors reflecting her struggles, growth, and pain. Each person adds emotional texture to the story, revealing how relationships can either heal our wounds or deepen them.
🧠 Emotional & Psychological Themes
What sets this novel apart is its psychological and emotional depth. Through Chyna’s lived experience, Diamond masterfully tackles:
The impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships
Codependency and emotionally abusive cycles
The thrill and chaos of toxic love
Self-sabotage and emotional numbness
The battle between vulnerability and protection
💬 Reader Impact
Readers who’ve faced emotional trauma, abandonment, or inner conflict will feel seen in Chyna’s story. Her pain is real, her flaws are honest, and her journey is unforgettable. This book might trigger some—but it will also offer healing and reflection. It’s the kind of story that lingers in your heart and mind, long after the final page.
✍🏽 Writing Style
Her voice is equal parts streetwise and soul-deep. The dialogue is authentic, the pacing tight, and the emotions raw. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out—she flips the script and leaves you breathless.
