Book Review: Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad

Ah, just what I needed after a book that dealt with more serious life issues. Not that this one didn't have serious life issues, but the issues presented in this book only happen to "small town" people thrust in the limelight of Hollywood. Guilty pleasure indeed. And what's better than having someone else read it to you while you do other things? Double guilty pleasure. 

I'm guessing that some of the material for this series stemmed from the author's own experiences in Hollywood, which is probably one of the reasons why I love it. Behind the scenes Hollywood, as many of my friends know, is one of my favorite topics for books. I hardly ever read magazines anymore so I never know the real gossip...nor do I really care, to be honest. The fake stuff suits me just fine. And as they always say, reality is stranger than fiction. 

Looking forward to reading (or listening to) the last book in the series, and then starting on her next series. :)

From the GoodReads website, "Jane Roberts was the average girl next door until she and her best friend, Scarlett Harp, landed their own reality show, L.A. Candy. Now the girls have an all-access pass to Hollywood's hottest everything. But there's more to life on camera than just parties and shopping. . . .

When racy photos of Jane are leaked to the press, she finds herself at the center of a tabloid scandal. She turns to her co-star Madison Parker for help, unaware that Madison is scheming behind the scenes. She might be Jane's shoulder to cry on, but does Madison really have Jane's back?

Scarlett's working on a scandal of her own. She's fallen for someone who's strictly off-limits—which means Scarlett has a big secret to keep . . . from the L.A. Candy cameras, the paparazzi staking out her apartment, even from her best friend.

Of course, nothing stays secret for long for the stars of the newest hit TV series, and all this drama couldn't be better for ratings. But can Jane survive another season in the spotlight?

In television star Lauren Conrad's dishy, entertaining novel about young Hollywood, the lies are only as sweet as the people telling them."
