Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad

Have you ever felt like you being were stabbed in the back? Well in the book Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad, Jane sure does. When Jane is photographed cheating on her boyfriend, her new best friend Madison, is right by her side to help her through all of the tough times. Jane doesn’t have a clue, but Madison was the one who took the photos and leaked them to the biggest tabloid magazine in L.A. Scarlett, who has been Jane’s best friend since Kindergarten has told her many, many times to not trust Madison. Jane thinks Madison is a great friend and won’t listen when Scar tells her that Madison was the one who did it all along, but when a good friend of Jane’s gives her evidence that Madison was the one that did it, what will Jane do? Where will she live? Who can she trust? Mostly, will she get over her guy problems?
This was a really good book. I finished it in a really short time because Lauren always left you hanging and making you want to read more. The recommended reading age for this book is ages 14 and up. This book is the second in the L.A. Candy series. Lauren Conrad has also written, L.A. Candy, Sugar and Spice, and Style. The Fame Game which comes out in April, is her latest book that starts a new series. Sweet Little Lies has not won any awards, but I think it should have. Lauren Conrad is a really talented author who makes the books suspenseful and leaves you sitting at the edge of your chair not wanting to stop reading. This book kind of reminded me of the Hunger Games. They both always let you want to read more. They both require strong friendship and trust in the characters even though they do screw up sometimes. They both have their share of romance and learning from your mistakes moments.
My favorite quote from the book is, “As Jane sat there on the beach so far away from everything, she wished she could go back in time to that August night and say, Thanks, but no, thanks. Although it’s not like she could’ve predicted what was about to happen to her. She and Scar had figured the show would flop but they’d get some fun nights from it. Of course, the show ended up being a hit, and soon after the series premiere in October, Jane found herself unable to walk into a restaurant or down the street without someone recognizing her. Magazines called her ‘America’s sweetheart.’ Blogs called her... well, other things. Her face was everywhere.” Amazon says “Praise for ‘Sweet Little Lies’: “Highly entertaining.” I could not find a quote about the book from a famous author. Overall this book is directed more toward girls. It is a really good book and I hope you all read it!
