Product Description

NEW CITY, NEW LIFE

Lauren Conrad -- known as "LC" on the hit MTV series Laguna Beach -- is all grown up. She's left behind her family, friends, and the sheltered life of Laguna to pursue her dreams of conquering the fashion world and making it on her own in the high-pressure, beauty-obsessed land of the rich and famous -- Los Angeles.

But Lauren finds herself torn in different directions as she starts this new chapter in her life. She has to juggle a dream internship at Teen Vogue, a full course load at a brand-new college, and a whirlwind social life with her three closest friends: Heidi, her party girl roommate who does PR for L.A.'s nightlife scene; Audrina, an aspiring model and actress; and Whitney, a fellow Teen Vogue fashionista. Lauren is determined to have it all as she runs with the young and fabulous in Hollywood's "it" crowd.

The Hills: City of Angels gives you an all-access pass to what you didn't see on TV. Take a closer look at Lauren, Heidi, Audrina, and Whitney: the tight friendships they've formed, the laugh-out-loud moments that didn't make it on the show, and their ups and downs with the boys in their lives -- including Jason, Jordan, and Brian. Packed with exclusive photos and revealing stories, here is the ultimate insider look at what it's really like to be a girl from The Hills.

4.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, January 24, 2007

By	TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews

Just when Lauren Conrad, or "LC," thought that she had escaped all the teenage drama in Laguna Beach, she discovers that drama follows her wherever she goes. Lauren finally moves to Los Angeles to fulfill her lifelong dream in the fashion industry. When she lands the internship at Teen Vogue, it feels like Lauren is one step closer to achieving her dream.

But along with the internship Lauren has other things she has to worry about, such as school, which takes up most of her time, and Jason, the one who broke her heart but is now finally back in her life, hoping to give their relationship a second chance.

Of course it doesn't help matters that her crazy roommate, Heidi, has her own set of problems, like quitting school or having relationship problems with her boyfriend, Jordan. So now Lauren has to worry about her roommate's problems as well as her own. It seems like there are obstacles wherever she turns.

Jam-packed with pictures and stories about every character from the show (The Hills - The Complete First Season) including Audrina, Whitney, Brian, and of course Lauren, Heidi, Jordan and Jason, CITY OF ANGELS is like watching another episode of The Hills. The reader gets an inside look at all the problems that the girls go through, from relationships to intimidating bosses. The perfect read for any fan of The Hills. Who knew that one girl's life could be filled with so much drama?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, September 5, 2008

By	J. David (Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought this was a great book. I read it in 1 day which is pretty hard for me to do. I liked how it was little short stories about the individual people and things. I think that is what kept me so interested in the book and in a results me finishing it so fast. Now I only wish they would come out with a updated book.
