Sweet Little Lies (L.A. Candy #2)

Sweet Little Lies – Lauren Conrad

Sweet Little Lies is the second novel in Lauren Conrad’s L.A. Candy trilogy, continuing the story of Jane Roberts, the young woman who became a star of a hit reality television show in Los Angeles.

After the scandal that ended the first book, Jane is struggling to rebuild her reputation and her relationships. Her life is still filmed for the show, and she is learning just how much the producers control the story audiences see. She tries to repair her friendship with Scarlett, her loyal best friend who has always been wary of fame, while dealing with the complications of her romantic life and the attention of the tabloids, which seem to know everything about her.

Meanwhile, her castmates have their own secrets and ambitions. Madison, who seems to thrive on drama, is hiding truths about her past and will do whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight. Gaby, sweet and somewhat clueless, finds herself drawn into situations she does not fully understand. As the season continues, rivalries intensify, alliances shift and Jane begins to suspect that someone close to her is betraying her.

Drawing again on Conrad’s own experiences with reality television and celebrity, the novel offers a playful, behind-the-scenes look at the pressures of fame, the blurred line between real life and entertainment, and the importance of loyalty and friendship.

Light, glamorous and full of drama, Sweet Little Lies will appeal to fans of the first book and readers who enjoy celebrity-themed fiction. It is best read after L.A. Candy. It contains underage drinking and romantic situations.
