L.A. Candy

So I read a novel, which turned out to be a series, called L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. Some of you might recognize that name that’s because she is pretty famous or at least well known. She became famous from a TV show, The Hills. Well anyways she is mainly an actress however she wrote a trilogy and she designs clothes, I guess that keeps her pretty busy. But back to the book, it’s about two BFFs who move to L.A. but not to become famous, Jane (sweet, blond one) goes to inter with a party planer Fiona Chen, her friend is Scarlet (brunette, apparently drop dead gorgeous but has a sour mood) she’s in L.A. simply to go to school. In their first few weeks in Los Angeles they are discovered by a TV producer who wants to make a reality based on their lives which start out average but later on turn into something film worthy. I think this book is good; considering it was written by an actress with no past experience it’s very well written. However it’s very simple, the vocabulary used is easy, the characters are plain and don’t change much. Basically I don’t think this book would be known if it weren’t because the author was already famous. Nevertheless the idea is interesting since the reader gets to know how realities work behind the scenes. I would recommend it to anyone who likes watching reality shows since this book is similar to watching one. If anyone wants to give this book a try just contact me!
