Sweet Little Lies Audiobook Summary

After hitting the #1 spot on the New York Times list with her first novel, L.A. Candy, TV star Lauren Conrad continues the deliciously entertaining series about an ordinary girl leading an extraordinary life.

Full of dishy details about young Hollywood that only an insider can reveal, this entertaining novel shows that lies are only as sweet as the people telling them.

Jane Roberts was the average girl next door until she and her best friend, Scarlett Harp, landed their own reality show, L.A. Candy. Now the girls have an all-access pass to Hollywood’s hottest everything. But there’s more to life on camera than just parties and shopping….

When racy photos of Jane are leaked to the press, she finds herself at the center of a tabloid scandal. She turns to her co-star Madison Parker for help, unaware that Madison is scheming behind the scenes. She might be Jane’s shoulder to cry on, but does Madison really have Jane’s back?

Scarlett’s working on a scandal of her own. She’s fallen for someone who’s strictly off-limits–which means Scarlett has a big secret to keep…from the L.A. Candy cameras, the paparazzi staking out her apartment, even from her best friend.

Of course, nothing stays secret for long for the stars of the newest hit TV series, and all this drama couldn’t be better for ratings. But can Jane survive another season in the spotlight?

A vacation reread, this book is perfect for a vacation. Again many frustrations regarding Jane and I just don't get Madison, what a piece of work that girl is, I am eagerly waiting for her to get a big poo load of karma. The reality show aspect is still tons of fun and I love how Gaby and Scarlett got a bit closer. 3.5 stars or 4 stars, still unsure if I want to change my rating. I am still not sure what to rate it. I am hovering between 2 and 4 stars. I guess 3.5 might be the best to give this book.Yes, the book was still pretty decent, however Jane. Oh God, Jane. She was so frustratingly dumb and naive, it just got so annoying. Everyone was telling her to watch out for Madison. To watch out for Jesse. But did she believe them? No. Not until she was shown some material and not until Jesse spun further and harder out of control. It took her the entire book (+/- 300 pages) to find out that Scarlett, Hannah, Diego, Gaby were all right about things. That she screwed up soooo hard. That she is a blind fool who trusts people too easily. Hello girl, welcome to Hollywood, you should never trust anything.Jane's behaviour was just annoying. Everyone can see she is in an abusive relationship (with Jesse). A guy who is nice when he is sober and then abuses you, pushes you, calls you names when drunk is not a good guy. That is a guy that needs to go and head back to eternal rehab. I didn't get why she stayed, why she kept coming back for him, why she helped him out so many times. And then I haven't even mentioned Braden. Yes, Braden. The dick from the last book makes another comeback here. Because our dear little Jane just can't stay away from him. My favourite characters from this book would be Gaby, Hannah and of course Scarlett. Scarlett still has a big mouth and is still a bitch about things, but you can see deep underneath everything that she actually cares A LOT. I also liked how smart she was, though at times it felt a bit too much. I felt sorry for her. She tried her best to save her best friend and instead lost everything. Sure, maybe she should have been a bit nicer about things at times. Though... we are talking about Jane here. No wait, just keep on going being a bitch about things. Jane won't get it until everything goes haywire and the world ends.I loved Scarlett and a certain boy. I do hope we will get more of these 2 in the next book.Hannah was a surprise in this book. I was already interested in this girl, but then we find out some things and my interest shot up. She is a really great girl and I hope the next book will have more of her.Gaby was another surprise. She says some very stupid things, yet, in this book she gives advice and is pretty nice and kind. I can't imagine why someone like that would hang out with someone like Madison.Urgh, Madison. It is a shame that I read the other series first (or at least the first book). Now I already knew what was coming. I already knew what/who Madison was/is. This book has more Madison than the previous books and that is also a reason for the lower rating. I despise Madison. Only thinking about herself. Only making sure she gets all the attention. She does anything to get herself on that pretty pedestal and become queen of all. Even if that means screwing up her "friends". The story itself was interesting. We can see that everything is spiralling out of control. While the series are still ongoing we can see that things aren't going so well. Scarlett and Jane want to quit the show. Madison wants to stay on the show. And Gaby... well she is Gaby. It was interesting to see how things got edited so that they would make a "good" show. Like the dinner with Scarlett and her parents. That one got edited so much that it was almost ridiculous. But it was also fun to see how the show was made, how things aren't so real after all. Everything is just a fake reality.All in all, I would still recommend this book. Be warned though, you will be frustrated at Jane. You will want to throw your shoes at Madison (make sure they aren't expensive, that would only make Madison happy). But you will also snicker at all the drama, you enjoy seeing Scarlett finding someone. This book is packed with drama, romance and "reality"shows.

Reviewed by Angela S. for TeensReadToo.comThis second novel in the L.A. CANDY series starts off where the first one left off.Jane Roberts, star of the hit reality TV show L.A. Candy, finds herself in the middle of a national scandal after a tabloid prints some photos of her in a rather compromising position. Not knowing what to do or where to turn, Jane takes the advice of her castmate, Madison, and takes off to Cabo for some much needed peace and quiet with Madison by her side to comfort and console her.Jane can't run forever though, and she can't keep ignoring the persistent phone calls of her concerned friends, family, and crew members, either. Facing reality, Jane heads back to L.A. to make things right.After leaving without as much as a word to let anyone know where she went, everyone is pretty upset with Jane. Her roommate, Scarlett, can't believe that Jane took off with that two-faced master manipulator, Madison. Scarlett tries to explain to Jane that Madison is the one who leaked the photos...but Jane won't listen and this causes a rift in their long-time friendship.At this point, Jane doesn't know who she can trust anymore. To further complicate things, Jane's heartthrob boyfriend, Jesse, is willing to take her back after she publicly humiliated him by cheating on him with his best friend, Braden. Though Jane loves Jesse (or at least she thinks she does), she really can't deny her feelings for Braden. As Jane and Jesse's relationship becomes more and more turbulent - and abusive - Jane has to decide what she really wants.Does she really want the cameras altering her life to fit what works for the show? Or does she want her old life back, where she wasn't America's Sweetheart and she didn't have to do things just because the producer wanted her to?Showing that Hollywood life isn't always so glamorous, this novel really brings the series to another level. Though Jane is extremely naive about everything, it's still a suspenseful and intriguing page-turner. The only question is : Will Jane see the truth before it's too late? You'll have to read on to find out.

Such a guilty pleasure for me! I had really enjoyed everything Lauren Conrad that I have been able to get my hands on so far. I don't think it is because the writing is phenomenal or anything but the story and the catty drama seems to draw me in! XDI will definitely be continuing the series.Great guilty pleasure read!

After the tabloids get hold of compromising photographs of LA Candy star Jane Roberts, she flees to Cabo with co-star Madison in a bid to forget about her troubles. Whilst there, though, the paparazzi manage to find her and Jane realises she has to get back to LA and face the music. Jane's life is made all the more difficult when best friend Scarlett tries to blame Madison for leaking the photographs to Gossip magazine which Jane refutes angrily - just why is Scarlett so against Madison? It seems as if there's more drama off-screen than there is on-screen and Jane soon learns that being a reality TV star is hard work - the question is, does Jane enjoy the perks of being a celebrity or is it all too much too soon?When I heard Lauren Conrad was writing a series of books I was totally sceptical about her writing abilities but after enjoying LA Candy, I was pleased that I'd decided to buy the first two books in the LA Candy series at the same time as it meant I could get stuck straight into Sweet Little Lies. Get stuck in I did and I am very surprised at the writing talent of Ms. Conrad.Sweet Little Lies picks up immediately after LA Candy ended and picks up with Jane in Cabo with Madison. As the continuity of the book is so full on, then reading LA Candy first is an absolute must. Everything is explained - in the way of the beginning of a TV episode - but you still feel as I think you'd still feel as if you've missed something. We're thrown right into the deep end with Sweet Little Lies and it's just as full on as LA Candy.Because the books follow on so closely from each other it means storylines can continue throughout all of the books in the series. All of the storylines from LA Candy carry over to Sweet Little Lies, with a few new ones thrown in. If you haven't read my LA Candy review then Jane and Scarlett are BFFs who get the chance to star in a reality show called LA Candy along with two girls called Madison and Gaby. It all kicks off from there with Madison scheming to take Jane's place as the star of the show, Jane trying to handle the bad publicity as well as deciding just which guy is for her - Braden, Jesse or old boyfriend Caleb - whereas Scarlett has her own secret: she's fallen in love with someone who is off limits. The entire plot may sound convoluted and sensationalist but it was actually hugely enjoyable. The horrible Madison also appears to be getting strange text messages saying that the person in question knows who "the real Madison is" which, although I hated Madison, is very very interesting and I can't wait until the third book delves into that a bit more.The characters are all the same from LA Candy: Jane, Scarlett, Madison, Gaby, Jesse, Braden, Hannah and Caleb as well as those who work on the show. I have to admit that I didn't like Jane in Sweet Little Lies as much as I did in Sweet Little Lies. As Sweet Little Lies progresses Jane and Scarlett's friendship begins to disintegrate - with a lot of help from the ever-scheming Madison - and because we, the reader, knew what Madison had done and what Scarlett was trying to say, made me incredibly frustrated that Jane just couldn't see what Madison was trying to do. I actually loved Scarlett as I did in LA Candy. She stands out compared to the other characters because for her it's not about being on reality TV, it's about being her own person and saying what she thinks. After reading LA Candy, I didn't think Madison could get any worse. I was wrong. She was just plain evil in Sweet Little Lies and I hated her. There is nothing redeeming about her at all. Gaby is easily forgettable but is funny enough. I made mention of the love triangle between Jane/Braden/Jesse in my LA Candy review and the triangle kind of continues in Sweet Little Lies. Jesse is in the book more than Braden and although I liked Jesse in LA Candy, I went off him as Sweet Little Lies progressed. He definitely shows his true colours as the book wears on and I went completely off him. Braden was missing for most of the book but when he did appear I quite liked him and can't wait to see how everything will pan out in book three.Lauren's writing doesn't seem to be any better or worse than the first book and both books are very readable. They're obviously very Americanized - Lauren is American after all - so some could find that a bit off-putting but I am actually starting to love the way Americans write; it makes a change from the British way of writing. As Lauren was a reality star herself she obviously has insider knowledge of how "reality" shows work and she manages to input a lot into Sweet Little Lies. Lauren writes the book in the third person giving us perspectives from everybody bar Gaby and the boys. As we also get a perspective from Trevor, the producer of LA Candy, we get to see what he thinks and how he wants to twist things to make LA Candy have the best ratings it can get. I assume everything in the book is somewhat autobiographical of Lauren's time spent on The Hills so I also assume some of the things that come across as real on the TV are somewhat twisted.After reading both LA Candy and Sweet Little Lies, I'm rather desperate to watch an episode of The Hills just to see if they're anything alike. I absolutely cannot wait for book three to be released, too, to see how everything is wrapped up. I actually have no idea if the LA Candy series will end at three or if three is just the number Lauren initially signed up for with the chance to write more if she wanted/if the series sold well. I for one have enjoyed getting to know Jane and Scarlett and, more importantly, being transported into the world of reality TV and life as it really is in Hollywood. It was huge fun to read and I can't wait for #3!

The cover is so cute! I can't wait for LA Candy #3 to come out. Then again, I'm pretty much excited for a lot of things..Cover releases, book releases, author interviews, etc..So I'm an energizer bunny. LOLAnyway..I think the first one was better. But this one was almost as good. Especially with the pictures of Madison thrown in the mix. She deserved it! She shouldn't have done that to Jane. Even if she did want the spotlight. She had it coming.Jesse has always and will always be a jacka**. He doesn't care about anyone. He gets drunk and he hit Jane! Absolutely not! She did nothing to deserve that. Jesse saw the pictures, but he was dealing with it, then went completely downhill from there. If he really loved Jane, he wouldn't have done that. He left her on the street for Christ sake! He had it coming.I don't understand Brandon's behavior though. Does he want Jane? Does he not? Does he want to just be friends? I just don't get it..Can anyone explain it to me?I hope I'm supposed to be feeling this way..I'm glad Sugar & Spice still has to come out, otherwise I'd be at a loss!

This book is about an average life girl that follows her dreams into fame on a Hollywood reality t.v. show called "Sweet Little Lies." When the papparazzi catches her in an affair with her boyfriend's best friend, she has no idea what to do and what to say to anyone. Throughout the course of this book she finds out who are the liars, who are her true friends, and who aren't worth caring about. I really like this book because first of all, i'm into the whole reality t.v. show thing. I also like this book because Lauren shows all different perspectives of people and I can really connect to the characters. She develops the characters very well and I can almost guess what each character is thinking. Lauren also throw a lot of unexpected twists that aren't too crazy. She writes in a way that keeps me reading and I can really visualise everything that is going on. I would recommend this book to people who are into reality shows and like Hollywood stories. I really enjoyed this book and I hope that you will also.

Ook dit tweede deel kon me bekoren. Nadat ik het eerste deel had uitgelezen, haastte ik me zo vlug mogelijk naar de bieb wanneer ik kon (nog steeds examens dusja...). Op een avondje lezen had ik ook deze weer uit. Het vorige boek stopte op zo'n spannend moment! En daar ging het nu weer mee verder. Ik vind het niet fijn als iemand zijn tweede (of welk vervolgdeel dan ook) begint met heel veel herhalingen. Ik ben van mening dat iemand die een vervolg leest, ook de eerder verschenen delen wel gelezen heeft... Dat was jammer maar het beperkte zich gelukkig tot een bladzijde of 3. De andere personages worden wat meer uitgediept en worden wat tastbaarder. Er wordt veel vaker van perspectief gewisseld dan in deel 1, wat ik zeer positief ervaren heb. Volgende week heb ik gedaan met mijn examens en dan ren ik naar de bieb om deel 3... :D Het is niet zo dat dit hoogstaande literatuur is, maar dat moet ook niet. Het zijn leuke tussendoortjes en, als ik zo vrij mag zijn, een must voor chicklitliefhebbers.

I really enjoyed the progression of the story. So many characters to despise...it's absolutely like reading a reality tv show. Obviously, I would hope that was the goal of the whole thing since it is ABOUT a reality tv show. Scarlett redeemed herself a little - once she started seeing Liam, she was much less wishy-washy. Jane, on the other hand, come on now, girl! Get your crap together!

A random goodwill purchase, and I didn’t realize it was the second in the series haha. Regardless the book made me feel like I was reading an episode of a reality show. Kept me entertained by the river.
