L.A. Candy By Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad has proven to be a super talented writer so I was excited to learn that she had written a book that I had never heard of. The overall synopsis of the book is that two best friends move to Los Angles only to be discovered by the producer of a reality show. Reading the summary, I didn't find it anymore exciting than any other book but I still decided to take a closer look at it since I felt that this was something that Lauren Conrad would most accurately be able to write about as opposed to other writers.

Most books written by a celebrity, especially fiction ones, tend to be cheesy and dull and boring. But I am happy to say that this one exceeded my expectations. Both of the main characters were not really cliche like I was expecting. They were pretty well-rounded, confusing at times, but well-thoughtout. Even the side characters were interesting. I personally would have liked to see more of a background story for each of the secondary characters but I'm sure this isn't an issue for many others.

Sometimes the Hollywood scene can be kind of overused especially one that is the story about how two best friends become discovered. But that doesn't mean that this book should be ruled out because most people who write books about being discovered in Hollywood don't have the kind of experience that Lauren Conrad has.

The end of this novel had a heartbreaking cliffhanger and I without a doubt picked up the next book just to find out what would happen next as soon as I could. The juicy love stories were abruptly cut off as was the current state of friendships and alliances. It was a very skilled and well-planned ending.

Overall, this book is pretty good if you like the other Lauren Conrad novels. If you have read this novel before or anything else Lauren Conrad has written, I would love to hear what you have to say.
