Lauren Conrad’s Best Seller L.A Candy to be turned into a Movie

The reality show star and fashionista who left the Hills last season is moving on to bigger and better things. What?

‘Her’ book ‘L.A Candy’ is not only a Best Seller but is in talks to become a movie, the screen rights have been purchased by the brains behind vampire franchise TWILIGHT

A company spokesperson says, “Lauren came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book. We loved her take.
“Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realise, ‘Wow, this isn’t at all what I’d planned for myself’.” Source

L.C has a deal for two additional books in the pipeline….is this another Bridget Jones in the making or am i getting ahead of myself?

Read a review of L.A Candy after the jump

Before the review if you’re wondering Miss L.C apparently did write the books herself getting help with the characters and the outline of the 3 books from her publisher.  MSP Mag.Com

When Lauren Conrad hanged up her stilettos and called in time on The Hills everyone wondered what she would do next. Well she decided to put pen to paper and write a book. L.A. Candy is the story of Jane Roberts a sweet 19 year old who moves to LA with her best friend Scarlett when she lands an internship with one of the best event planners in town. While Jane attends to the whims of her demanding boss, Scarlett gets stuck into her studies at University of Southern California. The racy life of LA is a far cry from the safe haven of Santa Barbara and Jane finds herself drawn to the diet of cute guys, designer clothes and cool clubs. So when she is approached by a producer to star in a reality version of Sex and the City which is called L.A. Candy, she and Scarlett jump at the chance. In a few months, the show catapulted Jane into stardom and she is LA’s new IT girl. However as she soon finds out fame comes with a lot of baggage and Jane has to distinguish between her real friends and those who are just out for what they can get.

I was very sceptical when I heard that Lauren Conrad was releasing a book. I mean we have all been here before with Z list celebs releasing book after book. Jordan, Madonna, Pamela Anderson and Naomi Campbell, eat your heart out. However I must admit that this book is a really good read. It is well written and the characters may be a touch cliche but they definitely evoke feeling; whether it is compassion or loathing. You find yourself caring about what happens to these people. This is the first release from Lauren’s three-book deal and judging by the huge cliff hanger at the end of the book I can only assume that there is a sequel lined up.
