Narrative During 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.

OMG! I know most people dont like Lauren Conrad. Remember MTV series The Hills? Yes, thats where she came from. Along with other starlets, Heidi.. ugh, too many to mention! But take note, I never watched the series. Ever!Actually, I bought her book thinking that I might gain insight to the world of reality tv, since that is what her book is all about. So, ok.. The story line and plot had potential true The behind-the-scenes were as realistic as I imagined it to be, the staged fights and camerasWell at least they got rid of Laruen's mustache for the photo on the back cover....Ok after having actually finished the book (yes I read the damn thing) I have decided that this is just like The Hills---shallow, vapid, plotless, and yet I find myself coming back for more.After the shitty week I have had I needed some brain-numbing escapism, and this fit the bill perfectly.
As Jane and Scarlett move to L.A. something happens. Jane and Scarlett move to L.A. to get out of their comfort zones. All their lives they've felt comfortable and safe at home and wanted to change that. In L.A. they get jobs and go to school just like they would have at home, or anywhere else. But something happens that wouldn't have happened in little Santa Barbra. L.A. Candy, a novel by Lauren Conrad is very admirable because the author makes me feel there right next to the main characters,
I almost forgot I read this book (call it self-preservation), but I remembered after a marathon of Laguna Beach. Also known as: Aileen Avoids Outlining, Part Deux.It was summer, I believe. I had recently moved to Seattle and was flying back to Pittsburgh for a friend's bachelorette party. The book I was currently reading? Anna Karenina. The book I wanted to read? L.A. Candy. Insert shameface here:This is me pandering to MTV marketingIf you'd like to know what happens in the book, here is a guest

Groundbreaking! A tour de force! Just kidding, I mean it's Lauren Conrad's teen novel... It starts off kinda slow and ho hum for a while, but once the characters in the book begin the filming of the reality show that they're on, it gets very interesting for any fan of The Hills. Although the accounts are "fictional," it definitely gives great insight and potential knowledge about how the producers impacted the storyline and the characters, how the characters interacted with each other, and what
I know, I know, I am a grown woman who should not be reading young adult novels, let alone ones "written" by Lauren Conrad. But it was a fun read! If you watch "The Hills", this book is worth reading to try and figure out which one of LC's co-stars the characters are based on. And it's incredibly short, so you can read it in 2 hours and then go back to reading Proust or whatever age appropriate book you prefer to try and get some of your dignity back.
