Quite frankly these books were... not good. They were definitely "chick" books, in that awkward stage of leaving elementary school and entering high school (aka: middle school). The plot line was interesting and seemed very similar to The Hills, which would make sense considering Lauren Conrad is best known for starring in the series The Hills.
One thing I did learn was that In this book I found different types of cultures can unexpectedly change your life, maybe you're ready and maybe you're not, but it's coming. It is very unlikely the things that happened to these two girls would ever happen to anyone else (correct me if I'm wrong), but it's interesting to read how an event or culture can change your life. Most people wish to get rich and become famous but once it actually happens, it's not so great.
Here is a quick summary of this book: Basically, two girls move to L.A., wishing in the back of their mind they could be famous. Suddenly, in a unexpectent series of events they become two of the four girls on a new reality TV show called L.A. Candy. All four girls go through their ups and downs, hating and loving the other girls, but when Madison Parker decides she wants to be the star of the show things take a turn for the worse. While the drama is ruining the four girls relationships, the TV show is getting it's best ratings. Unfortunately, Jane (the main star) and Dana (her best friend) can't take another episode. One things for sure, no one can keep a secret on L.A. Candy.
Unfortunately I've just found out their is a third book to this series (Sugar and Spice: An L.A. Candy Novel), which means you'll probably see me at Borders or Barnes and Noble sometime soon, sigh. So if you're between the ages of 12 and 14 and/or love to read about drama, these books are for you! As for me, I'll just keep reading until the series ends whether or not I'm into dramatic books or if I'm 12, 13, or 14.
