I recently finished LA Candy, by Lauren Conrad. Although I enjoyed reading it, it did not have an ending. I know that there's a sequel, and many books end in a way that forces you to read the second. Personally, I do not like cliffhanger endings, especially ones that aren't written well. The novel simply ends with no resolution, which I suppose is a way to insure the purchase of the sequel. I prefer books that give me the answers, not series that eventually reveal all. The novel ends with Scarlet reading a note written by Jane, explaining that she and Madison had snuck to a condo in Mexico as to get away from "it all". This note has no significance, just an update on the whereabouts of Jane scribbled on the back of a Chinese carry-out bill. Although I enjoyed the first novel for the most part, I still cannot decide if I should read the second. It could very-well end in another cliffhanger, luring the reader to pick up the next book.
