Narrative To Books L.A. Candy (L.A. Candy #1)
Los Angeles is all about the sweet life: hot clubs, cute guys, designer...everything. Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts can't wait to start living it up. She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works, and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.When Jane and Scarlett are approached by a producer who wants them to be on his new series, a "reality version of Sex and the City," they can hardly believe their luck. Their own show? Yes, please!
Soon Jane is TV's hottest star. Fame brings more than she ever imagined possible for a girl from Santa Barbara-free designer clothes, the choicest tables at the most exclusive clubs, invites to Hollywood premieres-and she's lapping up the VIP treatment with her eclectic entourage of new pals. But those same friends who are always up for a wild night are also out for a piece of Jane's spotlight.
In a city filled with people chasing after their dreams, it's not long before Jane wakes up to the reality that everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it seems to be.

Oh, Lauren Conrad. You know, I shamelessly love the girl, but is she a jaw-dropping writer? Hells no. I would advise Ms. Conrad to stick with television and fashion.Jane and Scarlett (our two leads) move to L.A., their first time on their own, and are "discovered" by a reality-TV producer at Les Deux (of The Hills fame). And away we go! Of course, fame isn't all it's cracked up to be for the girls (Really?! You don't say?!), and Scarlett has second thoughts about the filming.The characters areOh, Lauren Conrad.

This book is not as horrible as I expected, but not as good as I wished for it to be. It was only mildly entertaining. I haven't read very many other chick-lit type young adult novels, so I'm not sure how this compares. There are a couple things that annoyed me, which I realize may all be due to the fact that I'm an old codger.The language contains a fair amount of "texting"-speak: e.g. BFF, OMG, WTF, etc. I realize that there are young adults out there that communicate like this, but is it
I first started this series because I'm a fan of Lauren Conrad/The Hills. Even though they're simple and aren't that deep, they're a good read because they're interesting (if you're into reality tv). I personally love the series because it's just light and fun, a really good beach read.
While I didn't think this was the worst book I've ever read, I didn't think it was the best either. I did enjoy it alot more than I thought I would, but there were just parts that left me scratching my head. I wasn't a fan of Madison(but then again, who would be) and I wasn't too crazy about Scarlett, but at the same time I liked her because she was trying to be a good friend and watching out for Jane, but Jane couldn't realize that. I thought that it was a little too loosely based on her own
I can't believe I didn't hate this book! I definitely didn't buy it...I read it and am going to review it for the publisher (not like they're going to publish what I write about it!) so that I can add the book to my school library. What I liked most about the book, insignificant as it is, is the chapter titles, which were sentences or phrases taken from the chapter.I felt like this book was rather autobiographical, which does not imply that I know anything about the life of Lauren Conrad. Good
I don't think anyone has any aspirations to be the next Great American Novel, but I can think of at least a dozen more entertaining alternatives for a purely frivolous light read. There's not enough drama, scandal, or even romance to really tantalize, and the plot point the most likely to spark an interest (when the heroine and her best friend get involved in the reality show) doesn't even really get going into much further into the book than you would think. If Lauren Conrad has the inside
