L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad

First of all, I never watched “The Hills”, I will assume that a lot of this book is based on Lauren Conrad’s experiences on this reality.

The book is about a girl named Jane, she and her best friend, Scarlett, move to L.A. to pursue their independence and leave their comfort zone, what they would never imagined is that the road ahead is full of difficulties. Jane's character fights to survive life in Los Angeles when suddenly her life changes again. Before life settles and she is getting used to the way things are, she and her best friend are selected to be part of a new reality show. Not a long time after taking part on this reality they realize their relationships are being invaded and surrounded with scandal.

This book is written in a very simple prose and starts really slow, I could think about this book as a guilty-pleasure just to go out of my usual reading. It’s light, fun and easy to read, the book doesn’t have a heavy morale, many times it shines because of the lack of it. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick, light, fun, easy to read book, would be great to read on the beach or if you are into reality shows the book gives you a sneak peak of behind the scenes at how reality shows work.
