L.A. Candy
Currently, I am reading L.A. Candy, by Lauren Conrad. I'm over half-way through the book, and although it's fun to read, I cannot find much structure in the novel. The story simply continues as-is, with Jane and Scarlet being filmed for the newest reality TV hit. There has yet to be a defining moment for either of the girls, although it is clear that Jane and Scar, who have always been inseparable, are facing some friendship issues that neither one of them could have imagined. Jane, whom I described in previous posts, is still carefully stepping through the world of reality TV. Scarlet, on the other hand, is romping right through, and as always, not caring what others think of her. It is obvious that Jane is trying her hardest to become close with the other cast members, Gabby and Madison, while Scarlet is not fooled. Scarlet knows that Jane and herself would never be friends with girls like Gabby and Madison, who have always had the money to spend on whatever they wish. Jane stands by her decision to jump on board to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity such as the show, while Scarlet becomes more and more wary of the show's true intentions. And anyone can see that the once unbreakable friendship between Jane and Scar is now crumbling at every weakness.

Sounds like an interesting story, Lucy. From your posts it seems (as you mentioned) that the author is focusing more on the character development rather than the plot itself. Why do you think this is? Do you think that the characters arising quarrels may cause a climax of action in the plot? It seems to me that you might uncover more of the plot as the characters external conflicts with each other begin to surface. Keep us posted on the story!
ReplyDeleteI would agree with Amy here. From what you have said, it sounds like the climax is going to be the fight between the two friends. The question I'm asking is how they will make it up to each other. (Happy ending, duh!) Do they share any common traits or experiences that will help them grow back together? Or, is one friend going to have to give in to the other in order to be friends again? What do YOU think?
