Biography
Lauren Conrad was born on February 1, 1986. She is a television personality, fashion designer, and writer.

Candy Trilogy//, and one non-fiction book called //Lauren Conrad Style//.

Books
"In this flawed but fun novel, 19-year-old Jane Roberts, new to Los Angeles, and her best friend Scarlett are discovered by a producer who wants to cast them in a “reality version of //Sex and the City// .” Jane (who is, in the producer’s eyes, “fresh, innocent, vulnerable. //Perfect// ”) and Scarlett (“a gorgeous brainiac”) jump at the chance to star in //L.A. Candy//, alongside two other girls: “spoiled, rich heiress” Madison and “loveable ditz” Gaby. Immediately famous, they enjoy new apartments, designer clothes and easy access to L.A. hot spots. Readers get a behind-the-scenes look at the production of a reality show, including how supposedly spontaneous scenes are set up and shot and reshot, presumably inspired by debut author Conrad’s own experiences on //The Hills// . Jane, who “no longer thought about an outfit as being complete without a mike under her clothes, taped to her skin,” predictably becomes the breakout star of the show and learns the high price of fame. The climactic cliffhanger ending and lack of resolution hurt the book’s ability to stand on its own, but this guilty pleasure should leave readers eager for more." --[|Publishers Weekly]

//**Sweet Little Lies: An L.A. Candy Novel**// (2010, [|Harper Collins]) "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? In television star Lauren Conrad's dishy, entertaining novel about young Hollywood, the lies are only as sweet as the people telling them." -- [|Harper Collins]

"Fresh from being betrayed by one of her closest friends, new celebrity Jane Roberts has learned a few lessons. Most important: know who to trust. And in Hollywood, that list is short. Determined to get control of her life, Jane swears off boys and all the trouble they bring. But when high school sweetheart Caleb and L.A. crush Braden show up, both acting sweeter than ever, Jane has a hard time remembering her no-boys rule. And for the first time Jane’s best friend, Scarlett, has only one guy on her mind: her new boyfriend, Liam. But being on a hit reality show means hanging out with other guys on-camera, and Liam isn’t too happy with pretending to play a bit part in her love life.Just when everything feels out of control, Jane makes a discovery that changes everyone’s definition of “reality” forever." --[|Harper Collins]
