L.A. Candy #2
Sweet Little Lies
After hitting the #1 spot on the New York Times list with her first novel, L.A. Candy , TV star Lauren Conrad continues the deliciously entertaining series about an ordinary girl leading an extraordinary life. Full of dishy details about young Hollywood that only an insider can reveal, this entertaining novel shows that lies are only as sweet as the people telling them. 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?

pathetic, i know. but i do want to read it. everyone needs a guilty pleasure?

People, don't let the whole "This was written by a reality TV star" thing get you down on this series. I mean let's be real -- this was written by her "editorial assistant", i.e., ghostwriter, just like pretty much everything else any YA packager is putting out these days. Come on, do you think she designs her clothing lines, too? If you do, you probably need to sit down so we can have a tough talk about the Easter Bunny while we're at it. As someone who finished reading this on her 30th birthday I know the giant portraits of LC they insist on putting on the back covers are kind of stigmatizing (glad I'm not reading these in an on-the-subway type situation), but you've got to get past them.
Why? Because this series continues to be surprisingly good. Yes, there are some elements here that maybe I don't think are the smartest plot directions -- they're juicy, but they detract from the realism. Did I say realism? Yes I did. Because again, as I said in my review of the first one, a lot of what is really enjoyable about these books is the feeling of learning how the magician does the trick. Even if this isn't actually how MTV churns out its teen dramas, it really makes for a fun read.
Surprisingly enough too, the characters continue to be enjoyable. Jane and Scarlett are weirdly reminiscent of Anna and her New York best friend Cyn from the A-List books. In a good way though, in a good way! (Anyone who's read my reviews of any of the A-List novels knows I freakin' hated Anna Percy.) The key differences are that Jane is relatable and manages to stay just shy of insufferable with her insistence on trusting everyone (this is LA, sweetie! Come on!) and that Scarlett is almost realistic where Cyn just was a faux-bookish hipster's wet dream. Given the supernatural drecch that's getting pumped out everywhere else in YA these days (see my review of the most recent Private novel), I think I will take reality TV "authors", thanks.

fell into a bit of a book slump in the last couple of weeks but that wasn’t this book’s fault... just my mood. this was just as enjoyable as the first! predictably enjoyable. lol.

Let's be honest. The only reason she has a book deal is because she's famous, rather than has any formal qualifications for writing. And I'm OK with that. I'm drawn to it because I also have no formal qualifications for writing, and so as I read I wonder to myself- could I write this? Could I write better than this? And it fulfills that basic, and somewhat voyeuristic, human desire to compare yourself to someone else who has more fame and money than you do.
The only down side I see is that this theme is so under-utilized and not explored to its full potential, that I truly wish it had been tackled by a more talented author so that the result would be a really great novel. But alas, it wasn't, and the plot was only somewhat interesting.
Which leaves me to try and dream up a more interesting plot...

A vacation reread, this book is perfect for a vacation. Again many frustrations regarding Jane and I just don't get Madison, what a piece of work that girl is, I am eagerly waiting for her to get a big poo load of karma. The reality show aspect is still tons of fun and I love how Gaby and Scarlett got a bit closer. 3.5 stars or 4 stars, still unsure if I want to change my rating.
I am still not sure what to rate it. I am hovering between 2 and 4 stars. I guess 3.5 might be the best to give this book.
Yes, the book was still pretty decent, however Jane. Oh God, Jane. She was so frustratingly dumb and naive, it just got so annoying. Everyone was telling her to watch out for Madison. To watch out for Jesse. But did she believe them? No. Not until she was shown some material and not until Jesse spun further and harder out of control. It took her the entire book (+/- 300 pages) to find out that Scarlett, Hannah, Diego, Gaby were all right about things. That she screwed up soooo hard. That she is a blind fool who trusts people too easily. Hello girl, welcome to Hollywood, you should never trust anything.
Jane's behaviour was just annoying. Everyone can see she is in an abusive relationship (with Jesse). A guy who is nice when he is sober and then abuses you, pushes you, calls you names when drunk is not a good guy. That is a guy that needs to go and head back to eternal rehab. I didn't get why she stayed, why she kept coming back for him, why she helped him out so many times.
And then I haven't even mentioned Braden. Yes, Braden. The dick from the last book makes another comeback here. Because our dear little Jane just can't stay away from him.
My favourite characters from this book would be Gaby, Hannah and of course Scarlett. Scarlett still has a big mouth and is still a bitch about things, but you can see deep underneath everything that she actually cares A LOT. I also liked how smart she was, though at times it felt a bit too much. I felt sorry for her. She tried her best to save her best friend and instead lost everything. Sure, maybe she should have been a bit nicer about things at times. Though... we are talking about Jane here. No wait, just keep on going being a bitch about things. Jane won't get it until everything goes haywire and the world ends.
I loved Scarlett and a certain boy. I do hope we will get more of these 2 in the next book.
Hannah was a surprise in this book. I was already interested in this girl, but then we find out some things and my interest shot up. She is a really great girl and I hope the next book will have more of her.
Gaby was another surprise. She says some very stupid things, yet, in this book she gives advice and is pretty nice and kind. I can't imagine why someone like that would hang out with someone like Madison.
Urgh, Madison. It is a shame that I read the other series first (or at least the first book). Now I already knew what was coming. I already knew what/who Madison was/is.
This book has more Madison than the previous books and that is also a reason for the lower rating. I despise Madison. Only thinking about herself. Only making sure she gets all the attention. She does anything to get herself on that pretty pedestal and become queen of all. Even if that means screwing up her "friends".
The story itself was interesting. We can see that everything is spiralling out of control. While the series are still ongoing we can see that things aren't going so well. Scarlett and Jane want to quit the show. Madison wants to stay on the show. And Gaby... well she is Gaby.
It was interesting to see how things got edited so that they would make a "good" show. Like the dinner with Scarlett and her parents. That one got edited so much that it was almost ridiculous.
But it was also fun to see how the show was made, how things aren't so real after all. Everything is just a fake reality.
All in all, I would still recommend this book. Be warned though, you will be frustrated at Jane. You will want to throw your shoes at Madison (make sure they aren't expensive, that would only make Madison happy). But you will also snicker at all the drama, you enjoy seeing Scarlett finding someone. This book is packed with drama, romance and "reality"shows.

Turpinās notikumi, kas iesākās pirmajā grāmatā - un manai gaumei tie turpinājās par ilgu. Džeina tik padarīta par pilnīgu muļķi, šķiet autore pārdomāja, ar kuru tēlu sevi identificēt, un priekšā izvirzīja Skārletu. Šajā daļā ir daudz vairāk nodaļu no citu tēlu skatupunkta - kas nenāk par labu, ja tie tēli visi ir viendimensionāli un paliek iespaids, ka to citu skatupunktu mēs tik un tā redzam tādu, kādu to iedomājas galvenā varone.

This series is such a guilty pleasure one. I really liked the first book but this one was almost boring... nothing really happened and the love triangle is getting old. I hope the third and last book will be better.

This second novel in the L.A. CANDY series starts off where the first one left off.
Jane Roberts, star of the hit reality TV show L.A. Candy, finds herself in the middle of a national scandal after a tabloid prints some photos of her in a rather compromising position. Not knowing what to do or where to turn, Jane takes the advice of her castmate, Madison, and takes off to Cabo for some much needed peace and quiet with Madison by her side to comfort and console her.
Jane can't run forever though, and she can't keep ignoring the persistent phone calls of her concerned friends, family, and crew members, either. Facing reality, Jane heads back to L.A. to make things right.
After leaving without as much as a word to let anyone know where she went, everyone is pretty upset with Jane. Her roommate, Scarlett, can't believe that Jane took off with that two-faced master manipulator, Madison. Scarlett tries to explain to Jane that Madison is the one who leaked the photos...but Jane won't listen and this causes a rift in their long-time friendship.
At this point, Jane doesn't know who she can trust anymore. To further complicate things, Jane's heartthrob boyfriend, Jesse, is willing to take her back after she publicly humiliated him by cheating on him with his best friend, Braden. Though Jane loves Jesse (or at least she thinks she does), she really can't deny her feelings for Braden. As Jane and Jesse's relationship becomes more and more turbulent - and abusive - Jane has to decide what she really wants.
Does she really want the cameras altering her life to fit what works for the show? Or does she want her old life back, where she wasn't America's Sweetheart and she didn't have to do things just because the producer wanted her to?
Showing that Hollywood life isn't always so glamorous, this novel really brings the series to another level. Though Jane is extremely naive about everything, it's still a suspenseful and intriguing page-turner. The only question is : Will Jane see the truth before it's too late? You'll have to read on to find out.

Like i really want to read about what someone freaking packed in their luggage. And the MC still was weird about the cameras. I don't really get why she moved out either, but what her ex roommate said made me happy, basically told her off because she doesn't have a "real" job, which is true!

Cute, light read ! I quite enjoyed it!
November 14, 2020
I thought this was a cute story, nothing deep, and somewhat petty; however, I liked the message that it might send to younger people. Jane Roberts is BFF's with Scarlett Harp until someone else shows up and "saves" her from something that could destroy her reputation. Both Jane and Scarlett landed a part in a new reality TV show called L.A. Candy and things were going well until photos of her mistake were leaked...or should I say "sold" for something in return...by someone she trusted.
Because Jane trusts the wrong person, she and her BFF have a strained relationship. It's so sad when good, strong relationships go bad for any reason but especially when it turns out it was due to someone else's betrayal. Look for a story of betrayal, forgiveness, and friendship in Sweet Little Lies.

Surprisingly, Sweet Little Lies was fun, charming, scandalous, and light read. Had all the elements of reality show, which is what intrigued me to read this.
Nothing has changed since the start of L.A. Candy, the reality show. Everything is the same, except rumors, scandal, and bitchy-ness is swirling in the L.A. life of Jane, Scarlett, and Madison.
KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid, that would describe the writing in this book. While I was reading, I could imagine how better it could be. With out a doubt, I could top Lauren's writing. There's reasons why it has made no hype in the literary world. Unprofessional writing, book with not much to tell, un-developed characters = NOTHING.
From the beginning, I wasn't hooked I only kept reading because I was intrigued. Other than insights some insights to the celeb-world, Sweet Little Lies has nothing to offer. It's perfectly like watching a reality TV. At first its good you love the drama then at the end gives you a sour taste, like you wasted your time. Clearly the overuse of (parenthesis) will turn you off from reading a book. It's like Lauren had obvious difficultly expressing herself!
The only highlights are it can be a guilty pleasure to watch or read reality TV, so there are some people that were smitten with this book. On the other hand, I wasn't, along with 75% of the other people who have read it. I want to say that this negative review isn't because I don't like Lauren. I do like her style, as a celeb. But, she has shown little to almost none potential as a literary author.
To conclude, I liked little about the book it was too fluffy. Although, we did spend an entertaining, and interesting time for a short period of time. Still, if you like reality TV you might find some enjoyment in it. = >

First off, I should be upfront about any conflicts of interest. My husband happens to be related to the author. This doesn't affect my review, but it is the reason I picked up this book. I don't actually watch reality TV. I'll admit that years ago I watched ONE season of SURVIVOR and then ONE season of some singing show. But, regardless, I was curious about this book, on many levels--the topic (which LC would know about through life experience, not just research) and even just the style of the writing.
I thought this read was just plain, frothy fun. A guilty pleasure. Lately, I've been on a quest to read outside MY norm, and this well suited the purpose.
Now to comment on the extremely negative reviews. I'm guessing that many of these ALSO have a conflict of interest--namely, greed and jealousy. How many of these are by authors who are so mad LC got an agent, multi-book deal, and great sales? I think some of these people should just grow up. Not everyone is going to be famous. Learn to deal with reality.
How about just admiring the fact that LC has taken her reality TV career and made it into something else that is both successful and NON-trashy?
How about the fact that she just wanted to write a book series? It was a dream of hers. Why should anyone else rip on someone's dream?
You might think I'm defending her because my husband's related, but I've never even met her--and don't expect to. I just speak out when I think something is right or wrong.
I'm not saying this is the deepest, emotionally wrenching book ever. It's not. It's just fun. Like a rom-com, and sometimes I just want to be entertained. What's the harm in that?

Could this book actually be better than the first? AM I BEING BRAINWASHED?
Guys. Guys. Guys. I don't know what's happening. All I know is that I am obsessed with this series. How is this happening? WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Okay, there are actually annoying things about this sequel. Jane is THE WORST judge of character and actually trusts EVERYONE except for the one person she SHOULD trust - her BFF Scarlett. Scarlett is increasingly immature and doesn't seem to realise that as an adult you can't just flip people off every time you don't want to do something.
BUT. HOWEVER. BUT. These girls are actually extremely likable and not at all vapid like I expected them to be. Even the vapid characters are kind of funny! And the series is getting juicier with each turn of the page. AND IT IS SO FUN.
I normally hate books like this but the writing is actually great (for what it is)! And the fact that it takes place in L.A., behind the scenes of a reality show is so dreamy. I love it. It's pure candy. BRING ON THE FINALE.

UPDATE: http://mundo-da-teresinha.blogspot.co...
Pokračování L. A. Candy se v zásadě nese v podobném duchu jako jednička. Takže jestli vás příběh nevinné Jane a o něco protřelejší Scarlett zaujal, dvojka vám taky sedne do noty. Řekla bych, že je o něco svižnější, jako by se autorka malinko vypsala. Jane je ještě nevinnější (a o to pitomnější, až je to do nebe volající) a ze Scarlett je pro mě favoritka jako blázen, mám tu holku moc ráda :)
Jinak Gaby možná není tak hloupoučká, jak se zdá, a Madison je slávou pošahaná potvora s tajemstvím z minulosti, které se sice na konci trochu poodhalí, ale ne tak moc, abyste s napětím čekali, jak že to v třetím díle všechno dopadne...
Suma sumárum Lauren Conrad mě překvapuje stále víc (navíc čte Prousta, kdo by to byl do téhle Hollywood girl kdy řekl...), a když se vyrovnáte, že se to v téhle knize hemží samým pozlátkem a drahými značkami, je to vlastně prima čtení.

Řekla bych, že je o něco svižnější, jako by se autorka malinko vypsala. Jane je ještě nevinnější (a o to pitomnější, až je to do nebe volající) a ze Scarlett je pro mě favoritka jako blázen, mám tu holku moc ráda :)
Jinak Gaby možná není tak hloupoučká, jak se zdá, a Madison je slávou pošahaná potvora s tajemstvím z minulosti, které se sice na konci trochu poodhalí, ale ne tak moc, abyste s napětím čekali, jak že to v třetím díle všechno dopadne...

April 30, 2014Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad is definitely full of drama and its getting overwhelming for Jane. After the incident with the photos getting leaked to the magazine of her cheating on her boyfriend with his best friend, she wants to stay away from everyone and not go in public. Madison and Jane are becoming really close little does Jane know Madison is the one leaking the photos and stories to the magazines. Madison takes Jane to Cabo to get away and they don't have service so Scarlet can't tell Jane that Madison is responsible for the photos. When Jane gets back she moves out and moves in with Madison because she thinks she's a good friend but she's really not. It really makes you think who are your real friends and who is just around for the ride or in her case the fame. These books are so related and actually teaches you a lot. I highly recommend this series to any teenage girl.

Such a guilty pleasure for me! I had really enjoyed everything Lauren Conrad that I have been able to get my hands on so far. I don't think it is because the writing is phenomenal or anything but the story and the catty drama seems to draw me in! XD
I will definitely be continuing the series.
Great guilty pleasure read!

It was pretty boring and the characters were annoying. Only Scarlet and Liam were bearable. Jane was a gullible idiot and Madison was a bitch. Wouldnt recommend it!

Drama keeps getting better and better.
March 17, 2010
After the tabloids get hold of compromising photographs of LA Candy star Jane Roberts, she flees to Cabo with co-star Madison in a bid to forget about her troubles. Whilst there, though, the paparazzi manage to find her and Jane realises she has to get back to LA and face the music. Jane's life is made all the more difficult when best friend Scarlett tries to blame Madison for leaking the photographs to Gossip magazine which Jane refutes angrily - just why is Scarlett so against Madison? It seems as if there's more drama off-screen than there is on-screen and Jane soon learns that being a reality TV star is hard work - the question is, does Jane enjoy the perks of being a celebrity or is it all too much too soon?
When I heard Lauren Conrad was writing a series of books I was totally sceptical about her writing abilities but after enjoying LA Candy, I was pleased that I'd decided to buy the first two books in the LA Candy series at the same time as it meant I could get stuck straight into Sweet Little Lies. Get stuck in I did and I am very surprised at the writing talent of Ms. Conrad.
Sweet Little Lies picks up immediately after LA Candy ended and picks up with Jane in Cabo with Madison. As the continuity of the book is so full on, then reading LA Candy first is an absolute must. Everything is explained - in the way of the beginning of a TV episode - but you still feel as I think you'd still feel as if you've missed something. We're thrown right into the deep end with Sweet Little Lies and it's just as full on as LA Candy.
Because the books follow on so closely from each other it means storylines can continue throughout all of the books in the series. All of the storylines from LA Candy carry over to Sweet Little Lies, with a few new ones thrown in. If you haven't read my LA Candy review then Jane and Scarlett are BFFs who get the chance to star in a reality show called LA Candy along with two girls called Madison and Gaby. It all kicks off from there with Madison scheming to take Jane's place as the star of the show, Jane trying to handle the bad publicity as well as deciding just which guy is for her - Braden, Jesse or old boyfriend Caleb - whereas Scarlett has her own secret: she's fallen in love with someone who is off limits. The entire plot may sound convoluted and sensationalist but it was actually hugely enjoyable. The horrible Madison also appears to be getting strange text messages saying that the person in question knows who "the real Madison is" which, although I hated Madison, is very very interesting and I can't wait until the third book delves into that a bit more.
The characters are all the same from LA Candy: Jane, Scarlett, Madison, Gaby, Jesse, Braden, Hannah and Caleb as well as those who work on the show. I have to admit that I didn't like Jane in Sweet Little Lies as much as I did in Sweet Little Lies. As Sweet Little Lies progresses Jane and Scarlett's friendship begins to disintegrate - with a lot of help from the ever-scheming Madison - and because we, the reader, knew what Madison had done and what Scarlett was trying to say, made me incredibly frustrated that Jane just couldn't see what Madison was trying to do. I actually loved Scarlett as I did in LA Candy. She stands out compared to the other characters because for her it's not about being on reality TV, it's about being her own person and saying what she thinks. After reading LA Candy, I didn't think Madison could get any worse. I was wrong. She was just plain evil in Sweet Little Lies and I hated her. There is nothing redeeming about her at all. Gaby is easily forgettable but is funny enough. I made mention of the love triangle between Jane/Braden/Jesse in my LA Candy review and the triangle kind of continues in Sweet Little Lies. Jesse is in the book more than Braden and although I liked Jesse in LA Candy, I went off him as Sweet Little Lies progressed. He definitely shows his true colours as the book wears on and I went completely off him. Braden was missing for most of the book but when he did appear I quite liked him and can't wait to see how everything will pan out in book three.
Lauren's writing doesn't seem to be any better or worse than the first book and both books are very readable. They're obviously very Americanized - Lauren is American after all - so some could find that a bit off-putting but I am actually starting to love the way Americans write; it makes a change from the British way of writing. As Lauren was a reality star herself she obviously has insider knowledge of how "reality" shows work and she manages to input a lot into Sweet Little Lies. Lauren writes the book in the third person giving us perspectives from everybody bar Gaby and the boys. As we also get a perspective from Trevor, the producer of LA Candy, we get to see what he thinks and how he wants to twist things to make LA Candy have the best ratings it can get. I assume everything in the book is somewhat autobiographical of Lauren's time spent on The Hills so I also assume some of the things that come across as real on the TV are somewhat twisted.
After reading both LA Candy and Sweet Little Lies, I'm rather desperate to watch an episode of The Hills just to see if they're anything alike. I absolutely cannot wait for book three to be released, too, to see how everything is wrapped up. I actually have no idea if the LA Candy series will end at three or if three is just the number Lauren initially signed up for with the chance to write more if she wanted/if the series sold well. I for one have enjoyed getting to know Jane and Scarlett and, more importantly, being transported into the world of reality TV and life as it really is in Hollywood. It was huge fun to read and I can't wait for #3!

I love drama and this is still super entertaining .
Bite your nails entertaining because Jane still didn't wanna listen to Scarlett and Jesse about the truth about Madison. And Jesse??!!! Dude is freaking me out. He is legit scary and abusive . I am so glad Jane eventually dump his and Madison's ass.
The book actually ended on a good note . I am not sure what more drama can come out of the final book because Sweet Little Lies did feel like the final book

3.5/5
Heerlijke drama in een reality show. Jane wordt betrapt met haar ex. Dit drama wordt breed uitgemeten in de tabbloids. Haar zogenaamde beste vriendin Madison blijkt dit te delen met Gossip voor haar eigen gewin. Uiteindelijk komt Jane alsnog terug bij haar zinnen en is ze ook weer besties met haar daadwerkelijke beste vriendin Scarlet.

3.5 — Easy read like the first one. I cannot stand Jane, the main character. But I am hooked on these books!

Leest net zo prima als deel 1. Je bent weer even helemaal terug in je tienerjaren waarin the hills op tv was.

I was REALLY looking forward to reading this book because I adored Conrad’s first in the L.A. Candy series. However, I was slightly disappointed in this second installment.
In Sweet Little Lies, we pick up right where we left off. Jane and Madison are in Mexico lying low after Jane becomes the star of a tabloid scandal. Scarlett, Jane’s BFF is annoyed and suspicious of the newfound friendship between Jane and Madison and disapproves of the relationship between Jane and bad boy Jesse. Scarlett sticks with her gut feeling and Jane decides to cling even more to Madison.
L.A. Candy is becoming more popular each day and Jane has become a household name. The paparazzi follow her every where and new photos are leaked to the press all the time. Jane is confused, but never suspects her friend Madison.
Meanwhile, Madison has a plan of her own. Madison wants to be the star of L.A. Candy and will do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Jane has to learn once and for all who her real friends are and who she can trust.
I am disappointed because I expected big things from this book. The entire first book led up to the Madison leaking the photos scandal, so I expected that to be resolved in the first few chapters. Then, I expected we’d tackle the next big scandal. Nope. The entire book sort of dragged on the same conflict from the first book. It was one big repeat. I kept waiting and waiting for something new to happen or for naive Jane to FINALLY figure it out, but she didn’t.
I loved Jane in the first book. I thought she was a strong and likeable character. This second installment turned me off because Conrad painted Jane as so weak and naive. We know from the first book that Jane is smarter than that.
The book finally got to more of an exciting point towards the end, but as quickly as the excitement passed, the book ended.
There was no cliffhanger for the third book. The book just sort of ended. Conrad, you could have done better!
I’m hoping the third and final book in the series will bring back the excitement!

Grade: C
It's been a little over a week since I've read this book, and it wasn't very memorable, so it's not too fresh in my mind. However, I do remember having a lot of gripes about this book.
We all know Lauren Conrad doesn't actually write her books. That is not an issue for me. However, whoever they chose to be her ghostwriter can not write. Seriously. The words felt so forced, and the dialogue was cringeworthy. The subject material actually interests me (anything to do with the behind the scenes of Hollywood and the entertainment industry!), but this novel was so poorly executed that I had a hard time getting through it.
Sweet Little Lies wasn't horrible, but it didn't live up to L.A. Candy. I actually enjoyed L.A. Candy immensely (for what it was) and was looking forward to reading the second book in the series. It took me a really long time to pick up Sweet Little Lies. It took me awhile to refresh my memory but I really couldn't recall too much about the characters.
Anyways, in Sweet Little Lies, the protagonist, Jane Roberts, annoys me so much! She is annoyingly ignorant and one dimensional, and refuses to believe what anyone is saying! She makes all the wrong decisions about guys, but not in that cute starcrossed lovers/fate type of way, but in that annoying girl from high school who dates the douche bags and can't talk about anything but herself. In order to make this book more reader friendly, they definitely need to make the protagonist more likable.
I also had a problem with how basic the language was. I'm all for straightforward prose and novels, (I LOVE Meg Cabot!), but at certain points in the book, I felt like perhaps Lauren Conrad really did write this crap.
Okay, okay, maybe that was a little harsh. I enjoyed the book just enough-I was able to finish it and some elements of the plot kept me interested. I just felt many things were lacking, and I'm in no rush to pick up the third novel in the series, if I ever will. There are far too many good books out there waiting to be read! I can't waste my time with mediocrity!

Everyone has guilty pleasures and The L.A. Candy series is one of mine. Since while it doesn’t make you think too much or look beneath the surface, it's easy to get lost in Scarlet and Jane's crazy and scandalous reality TV world for a few hours.
Jane for the most part is a very naive character because of the fact that she's so easy to trust and stick with people she truly shouldn't. Though even with that flaw in character, I still found her to be somewhat likable. My favorite character out of all the girls, though, would have to be Scarlet because she's hands down the most real out of all of them. And I loved the forbidden romance she had going in Sweet Little Lies. Oh, what I'd do to have my own Liam.
The plot in Sweet Little Lies runs heavily on scandals, secrets, and lies leaving it to be one fast paced tale that constantly leaves you wondering what’s going to happen next: Will Jane and Braden end up together? Will Liam and Scarlet get a happy ending? Well that witch Madison ever reach her demise? And while I do admit to sometimes wondering if Lauren would have had not only all the sucess she's had with this series let alone a book deal if she wasn't a celebrity, I'm okay with it because what else can you really do?
In all, Sweet Little Lies isn't the most amazing book out there, but I still do like it and the entertainment it provides. And I will be reading the final concussion to the series coming in October because I'm curious to see what happens.

How can you not love LC? She’s so cute. Sweet Little Lies is the second in the LA Candy series which follows ‘fictional’ girls in their early 20’s as they deal with fame from a reality TV show. It is very obviously Lauren’s storey from the Hills; she has mixed up the charcters and storey lines a bit but if you are a fan of the TV show you recall most events in the books.
I loved LA Candy, the first in the series, because it gave an insight into the lives of the girls beyond what you are shown on The Hills. It’s a full on trashy read but a guilty pleasure, just like the programme. It’s a weird show, it follows their real lives but its obviously glossing over things, in the TV show they never admit to the fact that the girls are famous and you get the feeling that some are the scenes are ‘directed’ although you also sense it is actually their real lives rather than a completely fabricated show. Sweet Little Lies was fun in the same easy read kind of way but when I read book 1 it felt like I was finding out everything I had always wondered when watching the show, book 2 lost that appeal as I had found it already. Nevertheless I enjoyed it, I love the books and the show beacuse they follow girls my age and I can relate to them (although they are famous, live in LA land with spray tans, expensive apartments, hair extensions and visit beauty spas), also, I just love Lauren Conrad.
