ABOUT REALITY CHICK

All hour study fests.....all-night parties....

Going away to college means total independence and freedom. Unless of course your freshman year is taped and televised for all the world to watch. On uncensored cable.

Sweet and normal Ally Cavanaugh is one of five freshpeople shacking up on In the House, a reality show filmed on her college campus. (As if school isn't panic-inducing enough!) The cameras stalk her like paparazzi, but they also capture the fun that is new friends, old crushes, and learning to live on your own. Sure, the camera adds ten pounds, but with the freshman fifteen a given anyway, who cares? Ally's got bigger issues -- like how her long-distance bf can watch her loopy late-night "episode" with a certain housemate...

Freshman year on film.
It's outrageous.
It's juicy.
And like all good reality TV, it's impossible to turn off.

IN STORES NOW!

Hi Lauren! I just finished reading The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney, and I had to write to tell you that I absolutely love Katie.

Katie-Kate is one of the most adorable little sisters to ever grace the fiction genre. Her philosophical way of speaking and thinking is hilarious, and I love the fact that she's so carefree, and convinced that she will, someday, receive the Olympic gold. She even has me convinced that she'll manage to do so.

Anyway, I just wanted to compliment you on a fabulous novel, and an unforgettable character - even if she wasn't the star. :)

Thanks for finding me! I look forward to delving into Devon Delaney's secret world sometime soon. If the cover and synopsis are any indication, I'm sure to love it. :)

Hey Lauren ... what's the most difficult thing about becoming a writer.
I've wanted to be an author since I was eleven, and now I am very dedicated. I write everyday; even if it's just a little in my journal, it's still there.

What would you suggest I start out as? How did you start out?

I know you get this all the time but I just wanted to let you know I really liked your book Reality Chick. I didn't think I would because I HATE the Real World and other reality TV (with the exception of Project Runway). I thought it was very fun and creative. I also learned something from it too!!! I bet ya don't care but I'm gonna tell you anyway... So I'm half way done with college and would actually graduate on time (the 4 year mark) but I totally hate my major! Reading your book taught me it's okay to major in something a little different b/c you have to be happy with it and live with sooooo I'm changing my major from Sociology (blah!) to Art Education! Yay! And now I lose half of everything I've done. :( But that's okay because my parents are willing to help me out and I go to school in the south where it's cheap. hehe. So anyways... Thank you for inspiring me! You rock Lauren!
