L.A. Candy


L.A. Candy is written by Lauren Conrad, the former star of MTV's reality show, The Hills. Her fictional book is about a 19-year-old girl, Jane, who has just moved to Los Angeles with her best friend Scarlett. At a club, Jane and Scarlett are approached by a television producer who wants them to star in his new reality show, L.A. Candy. the book mirrors Lauren's experience as a star of The Hills. Some of the other cast members appear in the book with name changes and minor changes in details. The writing is very juvenile and lacks depth, but I did find humor in the similarities between L.A. Candy and The Hills. Also, I think there was too much emphasis put on name brands and detailing the characters' ensembles. does everyone need to wear skinny jeans or a dress "accentuated by a bow"?
