I read the book L.A Candy by Lauren Conrad. Despite what people may think about Lauren Conrad the book is not written how one would expect. It takes place in modern day Los Angles with Jane Roberts, the blond, sweet girl next door and Scarlett Harp, the beautiful one who if you cross her path, you better run. When out partying one night they are recruited for a new reality TV show, L.A Candy. When the show becomes a hit Jane and Scarlet's lives begin to fall apart.
One thing I really liked about L.A. Candy is how it gave you a look into the fabulous lives in L.A. It took you behind the scenes of the show and into the drama. There was never a dull moment in the book.
Although the book was exciting it was not the best writing I have ever read. Several times in the book I could have thought of a better word to use. Also, the book was slow in the beginning and ended abruptly with a cliffhanger. But no worries there are two more books to complete the series and answer all readers questions.
The target audience for his book would definitely be girls. The main characters are girls, the "show" that they are part of in the book is for girls, the drama is all about girls. It is overall just a girl book. Some guys might like it if they are into fashion, drama and reality TV.
I give L.A Candy three stars.
