Publisher Description
L.A. Candy is a deliciously entertaining novel about what it's like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a reality TV show, written by a young woman who has experienced it all firsthand: Lauren Conrad.
Fashion designer and TV personality Lauren Conrad brings her insider knowledge of the highs and lows of life in the spotlight to this juicy New York Times bestselling series.
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.

"After finishing LA Candy I almost had to know what happened next. I didn't particularly like the ending but that's how the story ended. I finished this in again one day, even though I started reading it 3 days ago. It's junk but good junk. A brain fry read. "
— Lily (4 out of 5 stars)

" I wasn't expecting much out of this..I just wanted a quick read and a friend had it. Annnd that's kind of what I got...except it wasn't so quick because I had a hard time getting through it. The best part was the end!(And I don't mean that in the "because of it was over" sense)...But the last few chapters got really interesting and I was surprised that I wanted to read the second book! Haha.But we'll see on that one.. "
— Jake, 1/11/2014 -
" It was a bit slow at the beginning, but I found myself really wanting more at the end, definitely reminding me of watching The Hills and hating that I had to wait until the next episode to find out what happens. I'll definitely pick up the next book in the series :) "
— Stefanie, 12/25/2013 -
" Nothing happened in this whole book. "
— Benjamin, 12/20/2013 -
" oh, LC. I actually like you a lot on Laguna & The Hills, and I think your blog is worth following - but please, leave writing to the professionals. Even for a trashy novel this was particularly bad - the plot was bad, the writing was bad--just, stick to what you're good at (not this). "
— Kate, 12/15/2013 -
" This book was poorly written, yet I still want to read the second one... "
— Julie, 12/12/2013 -

— Paige, 11/17/2013 -
" Only enjoyable if you watched the Hills. Book was ridiculous but I read it hoping to get some behind the scenes tidbits from the show. "
— Marisa, 10/31/2013 -

" Can't wait to read the second book of the trilogy!! "
— Stephanie, 10/3/2013 -
" Only read it to see what her style would be, and to see if she could actually write a book. It's interesting if you ever watched "The Hills" because its basically the same storyline. She isn't very talented when it comes to writing, but it was an easy read. "
— Shauna, 3/28/2013 -
" If you have watched The Hills then you have sort of read the book. Maybe she has changed names/ some scenarios, most of it is just what you saw in the show. "
— Rebecca, 2/27/2013 -
" This book was entertaining. I think it appealed to me because they talked about life in Hollywood. And she was a young actress turned author. "
— Rachel, 10/15/2012 -
" Watching The Hills is one thing, but reading it? Boring. Interesting to read about "reality" tv once you get to that part. "
— Tracy, 7/5/2012 -
" Love love love love that book! it's such an easy fun read. The characters and the plot are interesting and I couldnt put the book down. "
— Liat, 5/30/2012 -

— Saya, 5/29/2012 -
" It was so good! I can't wait to buy the next book!! "
— Sabina, 1/30/2012 -
" This book reminded me why I love The Hills. I spent too much time at the beginning trying to figure out who was who....but eventually I was able to sit back an just enjoy the fun drama! "
— Sarah, 1/12/2012 -
" One of the worst book I ever attempted to read. It was so awful, I couldn't finish it. The only good thing I can say about it, is that I got it at the library so I didn't waste my money on the thing. "
— Susan, 12/1/2011 -
" Cheap entertainment. Good short read, however fairly adolescent. "
— Kennedy, 11/9/2011 -
" Basically about her life on 'The Hills' which, now that I'm 30, was a defining show of my 20's. A pretty good read, although I'm not sure when (let alone if) I'll read the others in the series. "
— Danielle, 10/2/2011 -
" Such an easy read, also fun trying to guess who she had based the characters off from The Hills "
— Anita, 6/18/2011 -
" Sugar and Spice is the third book of the L.A Candy series by Lauren Conrad. While the second book holds all of the drama, this book does not disappoint with a sweet finish. With twists and turns, you never know who's team you're on. "
— Brynne, 5/20/2011 -
" It was pretty good, but I was a little disappointed with the ending... "
— Katie, 5/15/2011 -
" Same as the other two, you can place the faces into characters from The Hills and it's not even attempting to be original. Nonetheless, it's a nice light read and easy going. "
— Laura, 5/11/2011 -
" Ashamed that I read this. Utter crap. "
— Eabha, 5/9/2011 -
" Geeeeeez...I'm proud of myself for forcing my way through this! "
