LA is all about the hot clubs, cute guys, and designer…everything. 19 year old Jane Roberts and her BFF, Scarlett, can't wait to start living it up. And when a TV producer wants them to star in 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 and she's lapping up the VIP treatment with her entourage of new pals. But those same friends are also angling for a piece of her spotlight. In a city filled with people chasing their dreams, it's not long before Jane realizes that everyone wants something from her and nothing is what it seems to be.

Not nearly as bad as I expected

Honestly, when I picked up LA Candy by Lauren Conrad, I expected it to be awful, but I knew that I had to be fair and not jump to conclusions. The story is about two friends who move out of their parents houses to start college and work in LA. The girls are supported by their parents - but not overly so. They still have school and work to deal with. After being in town for just a few weeks, they run into a TV producer who is interested in them for a reality series that turns into anything but "reality". While there is a LOT of underage drinking, some cussing, and dating - there really is only one, very brief, sex scene and no illegal drug use. There is a lot of talk about dating and hooking up, but there are really very few even kissing scenes. The story was silly and predictable, and basically has no ending in order to get you to purchase the second book, but all in all it was just an easy simple read. The only thing that I could see parents objecting to would be the excessive drinking in the story. All the characters were constantly drinking, never carded, and even their parents were accepting of it. I really didn't understand why the characters couldn't have been just one or two years older - making all the drinking legal. Could an older HS girl be reading something more productive? Sure. Is this book bad for her? Nah. If anything, it shines a negative light on all the reality shows out there by someone who has actually be behind the scenes. |
