Lauren Conrad “Sweet Little Lies” Tops New York Times Bestsellers List

Lauren Conrad is a New York Times Bestselling Author a second time over. This week, the second novel from the former reality starlet and fashionista, Sweet Little Lies, hit No. 1 on the publication’s coveted list of the nation’s most sought after reads.

Sweet Little Lies — released earlier this month — is the follow-up to L.C.’s semi-autobiographical 2009 novel, L.A. Candy.

“It’s so gratifying for my second book to be so successful and it was so fun to write! The characters were already developed, so I really enjoyed the process so much more this time around,” The Hillscastaway told PEOPLE Magazine on Friday. “All the characters have become like my friends now.”
