It’s a big week for former “Hills” star, Lauren Conrad! The reality star-turned designer-turned author’s second book, “Sweet Little Lies” hits shelves today.

The new novel, which is part of her “L.A. Candy” series, takes main character Jane Roberts on a ride through the ups and downs of being a full-fledged celebrity. In the book, Jane learns the drawbacks of being in the public eye when racy photos of her are leaked on the Internet, and she winds up in a major fight with her best friend. Hmmm, now why does that sound so familiar?

Lauren has promised that any similarities to her own life and her book series are purely coincidental, but the storyline does sound like something we’ve seen before. If you haven’t read the first book, we’ll briefly fill you in. As “LA Candy” opens, the book’s main character, Jane Roberts, was an ordinary girl next door until she and her best friend landed a reality series — and drama ensues. The first novel, which hit the NY Times Bestseller list, is also being adapted for the big screen.

Though Lauren decided to abandon her own reality series, she is definitely not out of the spotlight. These days, she’s working hard on her writing career and hitting the road for a book tour which kicks off tomorrow in New York City (check out the Harper Teen site for a full listing of tour dates).

Lauren also celebrated her 24th birthday yesterday, and tweeted: “Had a cupcake for breakfast today I love birthdays.” It looks like life is pretty sweet for this star. Congratulations, Lauren!
