Hey FGs!
So much Fab, so little time. I thought I'd share one of my latest Fab finds with you - L.A. Candy, the new novel by Lauren Conrad. Now, some of my friends teased me when I first picked this book up. How could a reality star write a read-worthy novel? But of course, I believe in giving everything a shot once, so I wasn't ashamed to keep the pages turning.
And you know what? So worth it. First of, it is the perf juicy pre-summer read - behind the scenes and in the real lives of four 19 year-old girls who get cast in a realit  y show about their lives in L.A. It's fun to get an idea of what it's really like on the other side of the screen.
But even more than that, I think there was a little more heart to the story than one would expect. See, for me, I totally related to Jane Roberts, the quiet, sweet, and often self-conscious chica of the "L.A. Candy" crew. Her best friend Scarlett is awesome - beautiful and smart, with the perf amount of attitude - but sometimes Jane feels like she's in her shadow. Until the unexpected happens, and a spot on the reality show gives her a place to shine.
So I'm not saying that being on a reality show is my dream (well, not my only dream anyway). But I thought this book showed that every girl has a fitting place somewhere. We're all different, so we all get to stand out in our own way, whether we're loud, sassy, soft-spoken, cautious... or a little bit of all of the above.
So what do you think, Fab Gal? Have you checked out L.A. Candy? What books are totally Fab to you, and who are your fave characters? Leave a comment to let me know.
