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. "

    " 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.. "

    " 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). "

    " 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. "
