From Barnes & NobleReaders of Lauren Conrad's L.A. Candy series will have new opportunities to watch her battling reality show beauties in their full fire and glory in this new novel, which is appealing and gossipy enough to be a tasty standalone morsel. On the reality show L.A. Candy, 19-year-old Madison Parker played second fiddle and best frenemy to nice girl Jane Roberts; now she wants to take red carpet walks as a star in her own right. Unfortunately, in "reality town," things are never as simple as they first seem and Madison soon discovers that another nice girl has surfaced whose Hollywood connections could leave her on the cutting room floor. A tempestuous read.
