Amazon Editorial Review:

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.

L.A. Candy is a deliciously entertaining novel about what it's like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a reality TV show, written by a girl who has experienced it all firsthand: Lauren Conrad.

I'm a big fan of The Hills, TV "reality" show. It is admittedly one of my biggest guilty pleasures. When I found out that Lauren Conrad, the "star" of the show, would be writing three books loosely based on her experiences as a reality star, I was very interested. And for me, this book did not disappoint. It is written in a very young and simple way, but I did enjoy the story, characters, and I am now looking forward to the next two books. This is categorized as a "teen" book, but there are more adult references in this book than in most of the other "chick-lit" books I read. This did not bother me, but perhaps this book would not be really appropriate for teens.

It was also very fun trying to figure out who each character in the book was in relation to Lauren's "real" life/reality life.
