Introducing : Friday Book Review ♥

Tantei♥Amethyst will be adding a new feature in their blog called ‘Friday Book Review’.

Each Friday, Tantei or Amethyst will give a review on a book that they have read before (hence the title ‘Friday Book Review’. LOL)

So for our first book review, we will be having...

L.A Candy by Lauren Conrad 

It is the first of the three book series.

Credits to Mariel for being kind enough to lend me her book J

The Summary 

L.A Candy is mainly about Jane Roberts who moves to Hollywood with her best friend Scarlett to work as an intern at Fiona Chen’s event company. Everything is going smoothly until a producer wants them to be part of his new series, a reality version of sex and the city.

 It is exciting at first but when Jane is already involved in a love triangle with Braden who is an aspiring actor and with Jesse who is known for being the flirt in Hollywood, her relationship with BFF Scarlett is going down hill and a socialite named Madison who wants nothing but to be more famous than Jane joins in– everything just became confusing (as well as exhausting) for sweet little Jane. And reality T.V is not exactly the reality.

The ending is also a complete cliffhanger - backstabber Madison running away with clueless Jane to escape a scandal (teaser: it's about Jane and Braden) and Scarlett, well Scarlett, found out that Madison was the one who started it all.

The Verdict:

L.A Candy is a light and funny book. 

What is nice in this book is that the author (Lauren Conrad) was also part of a reality series before (Laguna Beach: The Real Orange Country) so she really knows how things work in T.V

I also love how she makes each chapter exciting and it also shows that what you see in reality T.V is not exactly the real thing. The love triangle is also worth reading for (I am not exactly sure if I am Team Jesse or Team Braden).Jane's relationship with BFF Scarlett is also something because the two are exact opposites of each other, Scarlett being fierce ang Jane being sweet. 

Lastly, there are lots of lessons on trust, friendship and hollywood.
