It looks like stepping away from The Hills
is really doing some good to Lauren Conrad’s career. Not that she wasn’t a celebrity in her own right back then; it’s just more fulfilling for her to be an author. With two of her tomes already on the New York Times Bestseller list, she’s probably getting richer for that too.
Talking to People, the 24-year-old star expressed how great it felt to have two novels out in the market. They’ve been welcomed warmly by the fans, and her celebrity status certainly adds to the value of the books. Her first novel, LA Candy, spent weeks in the bestseller spot and is being followed by its sequel, Sweet Little Lies, there.
But the ranking isn’t what concerns Lauren Conrad all that much. What she really cares about, she says, is just putting her thoughts to the page.
“It’s so gratifying for my second book to be so successful and it was so fun to write!” the former Hills star exclaimed to People. “The characters were already developed so I really enjoyed the process so much more this time around. All the characters have become like my friends now.”
It also sounds like she’s holding slumber parties for them with how she’s described her writing process. According to Lauren Conrad, she spends time churning out her words while in bed.
“I just sat in bed writing and it was the best process,” she announced. “Who gets to work from home in their PJ’s?”
These two novels following protagonist 19-year-old Jane Roberts, who moves to Hollywood to film her own reality TV show. Sweet Little Lies continues the story, a semi-autobiographical take on Lauren Conrad’s life.
It’s more like a less visually constricting version of The Hills
though. But the public’s eating it up. “I’m just so thankful to my fans. E veryone is coming out to see me in the snow,” Conrad said, currently on her book tour. “I just can’t believe it.”
Even though she’s already a best-selling author, The Hills
star Lauren Conrad can’t help but look back at her past on the MTV reality TV show. All those relationship drama and twists are there to forever haunt her, especially since they’re the topics she discusses in her novels. And she’s already come up with a sequel to L.A. Candy.
With her fiction rooted in her real life, the 24-year-old celebrity revealed that some of her Hills boyfriends have actually stabbed her in the back. But they don’t have to worry about her vengeance; she’s already over it.
Us Magazine reports that during her days on the reality show, Lauren Conrad got involved with Jason Wahler, Stephen Colletti and shortly with Brody Jenner. She admits that a number of them were cheaters when with her. Still, it doesn’t bother her as much.
“I knew back then [that] I was being cheated on. I overlooked it,” the former Hills star told Seventeen Magazine. “The more confident me has come to the point where I’ve finally realized it’s not something that everyone does. It’s not okay to have your guy hook up with someone else. You deserve more.”
Despite the guys going behind her back with other girls, Lauren Conrad had her share of secret romances. She began dating Kyle Howard of My Boys fame back in 2008 and hardly anyone knew about it at the time. It was barely caught by the MTV cameras at all.
“By the time I had met Kyle, I had already perfected my ‘double life,’” the star went on. “There was my TV life and my real life.”
Part of her real life, she explains, was never even caught on television. Lauren Conrad still had the sense to keep some things to herself.
“Most of my closest friends were never on the show; my family was rarely on,” Conrad explained. “It’s not normal to put every part of your personal life on camera. You have to have something for yourself or you’ll go crazy.”
