L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad
Book Review by: Hailey Geltman
Jane Roberts is a beautiful southern California girl who has just moved to Los Angeles for a big internship. She moved with her best friend Scarlett, and together they have decided to tackle the new adventure they are on. One night, Jane gets a little more then she bargained for when approached with the idea to be on her own reality show, L.A. Candy. It would star herself, Scarlett, and two other girls, but Jane would be the star. Jane has never been one for the spotlight but agrees to do it. So what happens when the glamorous life of a reality show star stops filming? Drama.
This book is a surprisingly good read from an even more surprising author, reality television star Lauren Conrad. She blends our illusions of Hollywood with reality as only someone who has lived it first-hand is able to do. At times it may get a little corny and predictable (hooking up with your best friend’s boyfriend!), but it’s for those same reasons that you keep reading. The even better part is that most of the storylines are true because we have seen Lauren live them on screen. Hopefully her judgment is a little better than her protagonist’s, Jane Roberts.
I would recommend this book to girls between the ages of 12-19 because it is a little racy for young girls. Anyone who likes reality television drama would definitely enjoy this book because there is plenty of it! All teen girls will love it. At times you will wish you were Jane and at other times…not so much!
Thanks for the review, Hailey!
