Let's be honest. The only reason she has a book deal is because she's famous, rather than has any formal qualifications for writing. And I'm OK with that. I'm drawn to it because I also have no formal qualifications for writing, and so as I read I wonder to myself- could I write this? Could I write better than this? And it fulfills that basic, and somewhat voyeuristic, human desire to compare yourself to someone else who has more fame and money than you do.

Pokračování L. A. Candy se v zásadě nese v podobném duchu jako jednička. Takže jestli vás příběh nevinné Jane a o něco protřelejší Scarlett zaujal, dvojka vám taky sedne do noty. Řekla bych, že je o něco svižnější, jako by se autorka malinko vypsala. Jane je ještě nevinnější (a o to pitomnější, až je to do nebe volající) a ze Scarlett je pro mě favoritka jako blázen, mám tu holku moc ráda :)

So I renewed my SF library card and I had to make sure that I could download a book to my Nook, and wouldn't you know this was the ONLY book I could find that was currently available. Don't judge me!
Ok, I WANT to read it. Still, don't judge me.

Um, HELL YEAH!!! The new Lauren Conrad book! I have been waiting for this book since I finished the last one. They didn't list it at the library as soon as it was released, but I checked the website daily and they FINALLY! added it, and I added my name ASAP, so luckily, I didn't have to wait too long for it. YAY! I love YA Lit. It's the best stuff to take out of the library because I can usually read it in a day or two and they charge a fortune for it in bookstores and when am I ever going to wa

How can you not love LC? She’s so cute. Sweet Little Lies is the second in the LA Candy series which follows ‘fictional’ girls in their early 20’s as they deal with fame from a reality TV show. It is very obviously Lauren’s storey from the Hills; she has mixed up the charcters and storey lines a bit but if you are a fan of the TV show you recall most events in the books.

Lauren Conrad's LA Candy series is perfectly named: They're fluffy and enjoyable, the main character is sweet, and when the story's over, it's pretty forgettable.
I read the first of these books last summer and when I picked this on up at ten last night, I couldn't remember what had happened in the first novel. The first of the book nicely recapped everything, though, and when I finished a couple hours later, I had thoroughly enjoyed this little treat of a celebrity novel. The story's More...

People, don't let the whole "This was written by a reality TV star" thing get you down on this series. I mean let's be real -- this was written by her "editorial assistant", i.e., ghostwriter, just like pretty much everything else any YA packager is putting out these days. Come on, do you think she designs her clothing lines, too? If you do, you probably need to sit down so we can have a tough talk about the Easter Bunny while we're at it. As someone who finished reading this

These books are like the crack, in that they are not good for you but they are addictive as hell. I read this in one day, and it was fun and entertaining. It's not exactly literature, but the plot is interesting and you do sort of become invested in the characters and what is going on with them.
Perhaps this book is well served from Ms. Conrad's actual experience as a young woman who has lived in the limelight and in the crazy world of reality TV and paparazzi. Every creative writing More...

BREAKING NEWS!!!
L.A. Candy's Jane Roberts is all smiles, easily portrayed as the "girl next door" type of gal on set. There are so many instances where we, as America, used to see ourselves in this one figure, someone who we could relate to. According to Gossip magazine, Jane isn't who we thought she was. PopTV could've simply blurred out all her flaws in one single motion if they wanted to.
Many questions continue to stump us.

I really enjoyed the sequal to LA Candy. It truely lived up to my expectations. I cannot wait until the 3rd comes out. So the whole book was mostly Scarlett and Jane fight about whether Madison really did leak the photos of her and Braden to the press. While Scarlett shares her suspicions about Madison, Jane ends up defending Madison and Scarlett and Jane get into a huge fight. Jane ends up moving out, and their friendship is on the rocks. Meanwhile Scarlett is having a secret, forbidden relatio

I love LC! That's one of the reasons why I bought her 2 books at the same time.
The story was simple: a girl who becomes famous and dates someone who’s famous, race to fame, jealousy among friends, blackmailing, etc… An easy read and you can just imagine LC acting as the main character, Jane Roberts. It’s a light, fun and exciting chick-lit which I’m sure a lot of girls will love.
The chapters were short and I can’t seem to put it down chapter after chapter after chapter! I More...

I read this book in one day, I just seemed to fly right through it. It was easy to pick up where the first of this series left off, even though it had been a few months since I had read LA Candy. There's nothing deep about these books, they're just silly little guilty pleasures, but they're a decent read and leave me wanting more... which should be when the next in the series comes out, in December.

I wasn't particularly impressed with this book. The first book in the series I felt was better. It seemed like there was more character development rather than the chaos that occurs in book 2. There is constant problems that arise, which I guess is normal for this type of book, but I felt the characters dealt with them in unrealistic ways. Jane totally lost her levelheaded-ness, making rash and stupid decisions without considering the people around her. I found her irritating and I couldn't rela

Hello guilty pleasures! Sweet Little Lies, MTV’s reality TV starlet Lauren Conrad’s second novel, is so bad, it’s good. Following more reality TV adventures of girl next door sweetheart Jane Roberts and her cast of generic friends, Sweet Little Lies mostly focuses on the tabloid gossip drama that Jane faces after her reality television show hits it big. The writing is formulaic and efficient. The characters are about as cookie cutter as possible. It’s not high art, but my attention never stra

Easy read, finished in one day. I had read the first one last year so I decided to keep going with the series, simply because I like Lauren Conrad and I liked watching The Hills. Other than that, I would never have read this book or the first. I already knew the kind of author she was from the first one, and I assumed it wouldn't get much better. I was right. The storylinge was alright, and it kept my attention. Although it's very juvenile, if you've watched The Hills, it makes the book a little

I've been a fan of Lauren's since she was on Laguna Beach, I followed her when she went to The Hills and I felt lost when she decided to quit the show. I know, call me a nerd, but I love her. She is so beautiful and she is famous but she seems so down to earth. When I heard she was writing novels I was so excited to read them.
The books were interesting, a subject that I don't think many people have written about. Of course Lauren has the inside scoop as to how these reality t.v. shows go. I More...

After reading L.A. Candy I knew I had to continue this series, and I’m glad I bought the second book. Sweet Little Lies is a light hearted, fluffy read that’s full with drama, backstabbing friends and lots of lies. Just what a girl is looking for on a Sunday morning.
