L.A. Candy

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 young woman who has experienced it all firsthand: Lauren Conrad.

Fashion designer and TV personality Lauren Conrad brings her insider knowledge of the highs and lows of life in the spotlight to this juicy New York Times bestselling series.

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.

When the cameras are always rolling, how do you know who your real friends are?

• Fame and Friendship: Jane and Scarlett think they're on this adventure together, but in Hollywood, friendship is just another storyline to be produced.
• Rise to Fame: From Santa Barbara intern to L.A.'s new 'It Girl,' Jane is getting everything she ever dreamed of—and a whole lot she didn't.
• The Hills Meets Fiction: Written by reality TV icon Lauren Conrad, this juicy series gives a fictional peek into the real drama of being a television star.
• Coming of Age in Hollywood: Between demanding bosses, cute guys, and friends who might be frenemies, growing up in front of the cameras is anything but sweet.
