Diva: Living in the Fast Lane by Neil Vickers
From the streets of Lagos to the catwalks of Milan, she stitched her name into ambition, beauty, and power—until fame demanded its price.
Jabari was born with nothing but talent, beauty, and a dangerous determination to never be poor again. Reinventing herself as Madam Sazzar, she claws her way into the glamorous world of fashion, where charm opens doors and love is just another negotiation.
But beneath the diamonds and designer heels lies a truth she can’t silence: the past still watches her, the future isn’t guaranteed, and no amount of fame can fill what ambition leaves behind.
Then she meets Gino—a powerful man with secrets of his own. Is he her way up… or the one person who sees through the façade?
How far would you go to rewrite your story? And who would you leave behind to become unforgettable?
“ Sumptuous, breathless, and unapologetically aspirational, DIVA is a page-turner about self-creation and the cost of living life in the fast lane. If you love powerful women, high-stakes ambition, and the glittering chaos of fame and reinvention, you’ll devour this novel and root for Madam Sazzar long after the final page.” Artisan Book Reviews
“An uplifting, heart-stirring story of hope, ambition, and fearless self-belief. DIVA reminds us that the world truly is your oyster.” Chick Lit Book Café Review

Jabari is a determined 18-year-old who is tired of living in a place with a lot of poverty. Lagos isn’t known for global fashion, so Milan, Italy, is where she wants to be. As soon as she can, she’s there, ready to make a new mark on the world with her new name: Madame Sazzar. It’s elegant and a little demanding sounding, just like she is. Fashion is her passion and she’s ready to roll, and with a little help from the suave Gino, she will.
Diva’s are more than mere women who think they are all that. A true Diva is a woman who is considered a leading style icon, embodies high fashion, and is known for her glamorous, impeccable, and trendsetting outfits, expressing confidence and individuality through her style. That is Madame Sazzar, a true stunning, refreshing and recognizable diva.
This is an incredibly, exciting, skilfully written and insightful story about a very brave and bold young woman. It’s interesting how she is ready to use people to her advantage and is a little cold-hearted at first but then gradually begins to understand important life lessons about relationships and the people around her. It’s exciting to see this Nigerian girl finally live out her dreams after wearing hand-me-downs most of her life. You can’t help but feel the same emotions she does as you read.
Author Neil Vickers is an excellent writer and does a wonderful job with his characters.
