1.) My favorite character so far is Madison. The facade that she tries to put on makes you so curious about her. You therefore begin to want to know more about her for this reason. You want to know what drives her, and what brought her to want to put on such an act ,and go through such a huge transformation. You wonder, what was it about her life that was so horrible that she would want to change her whole identity?

2.) It is too suspicious that he came back into her life just as she was making a lot of cash. I'm sure he had at least some time before she became famous to try to contact her. Why now? Oh yeah, money. Even if he has some sincerity. How much of it is an act and how much is real?

3.) If I was Carmen I would not play along with the charade of dating Luke. I would try to make Luke man up and stand up for his woman. I wouldn't just accept the Hollywood code of conduct.

Even though it would ruin some things for her to do so, if I were I would want my career to based on integrity and dignity. I wouldn't want fame to change that.

1) My favorite is Kate becuase she is the more relatiable one over all the other girls.

2) I think he is trying to do both because he want to win her love back so she can trust him so he can get to her money and fame

3) If I were Carmen I would not be ok dating someone who my BFF is crushing on. And if I was Kate I wouldnt be ok with that because it looks like my BFF is stabing me in the back

i was a bit dissapointed you ended jane's story. will you ever continue the LA candy series? xxxxxxxxxxxx

In response to Lauren question regarding the Fame Game:

Q1) My favourite character is Kate since she is down to earth and is a hard-working girl. Trying to make a living something we can all relate to.

Q2) I think that he is there for the fame and money to some extent but I do think he feels guilty for not seeing his daughter in so long and does love her. It's obvious he has made so many mistakes, though.

Q3) On a personal level, no. I like Carmen and understand her dilemma and a lot of people would do what she would for fame. I know that this is part of the fame indrustry but nothing can compare to your friends or real relationships who make you who you are.

My questions for Lauren:

Q1:) Who was the funnest character to write?

Q2: How did this character evolve?

Q3) Did you intend for Madison character to showcase a different side of herself? In this book she seems like the audience can sympathise with her a lot more, was this the intention?

I have a few more questions but I'll save it for the livechat.

Looking forward to it :) xx

It should be at 11:45-12:00 start time in the Uk. I sent you an email. Hope that helps Alysia Jones :) xx

Cant wait for the book in Germany:)

I loved "The Fame Game" and I have to say that I was skeptical about Madison being the main character. Even though this character wasn't a main role, I really enjoyed the role of Drew. He's like the comic relief but without the comedy if that makes sense. Personally, I would be against the whole charade between Carmen/Kate/Luke. Its one of those situations that even once you understand the backstory and the reasoning, it still isn't right. But then again I live in Alabama not LA ;) I can't wait to see what is next for these characters!

My favorit character so far is in a tie between Carmen and Kate. They both have something that i can deeply relate to. I love how Carmen gets so well with her family and how she is just so down to earth. I love music like Kate does and i would find myself doing the exact same things if i were in the same situation as she is in. I definaity think Madison's father is there to feed off her fame and money. I have to admit that at some moments in the story i feel like he is there because he really just wants to get close to her but it is too much of a couincidence that he came back right when she had fame and money and was never there for her while she was a child which was when she needed him the most. If i were Carmen, would not play along with the charade of dating Luke because it would be obvious that would hurt Kate and it just wouldn't be the right thing to do. Feelings are more important than Fame. If i were Kate, would not be okay with what Carmen and Luke are doing. I would figure Luke would not be worth it because if he really did like her like he said he did he would not care about what people thought, only about what Kate would think. I think in his mind his love would be more important, and that if he were famous it would be for what he is passionate in doing, not in who he's dating. Btw, Amazing Book Lauren!!!! I love it, once i start the book, i can't keep my hands off it!!!

The Fame Game is just amazing! ♥ Here are my Q&A answers:

1. My favorite character so far, unlike many of the answers here, is Carmen. I think Kate is a really sweet, genuine person, but I'm more attracted towards Carmen's bubbly, outgoing personality. I like that she's fearless by trying to step into the Hollywood scene on her own terms as an individual and not just be known for being the daughter of two famous parents. Carmen is also very aware of her the things that go on around her, and she handles it in a very responsible way. Her strong morals and confidence is amazing.

2. This is very interesting because my reactions changed multiple times as I was reading the book. However, my gut reaction was that Charlie was there to see his daughter. It's hard to say that that is completely the case because I do think that her having achieved wealth and fame has something to do with it. I find his behavior of him coming back into his daughter's life at this point in time questionable, but there's a possibilty that the timing was just a coincidence. It feels too early to tell, but when I finished Chapter 13, all doubts about him coming back to visit his daughter for the wrong reasons actually disappeared. One of the reasons I had doubts in the first place was not knowing whether or not Charlie actually wrote the letters like he said he did. When that was confirmed by Madison's mother in the end, it just made me think that Charlie's true intentions was to make up for all the lost time between his daughters, after realizing his mistake.

3. I believe Carmen is just feeling bored, so she feels this sense of freedom and so, the need for a different kind of excitement in her life. Nonetheless, I wouldn't play along with the charade if I were in her shoes. It's unfair to both Luke and Kate, and relationships aren't meant to be played lke a game. With that said, what Carmen did is not justifiable; as Kate, I would not be okay with it. However, I wouldn't be as angry at her so much as see it as a misjudgement on Carmen's part. After all, I wouldn't be familiar enough with the Hollywood scene to be in the position to think that many are two-faced and filled with bad intentions (e.g; Madison), especially given Carmen's warm-hearted, genuine personality on first impression.

I can't wait to discuss this with everyone during the chat! Until then, here is my burning question for you, Lauren, about The Fame Game: ;-)

Why did Charlie use letters as the only means of trying to communicate with Madison? If he's really sorry for what he did like he says he is, did it ever cross his mind to call or visit her? - @style_moodboard

Thank you!

How do you keep the characters in a interesting story plot line without being boring?

I am interested to know what was your inspiration to write these books. Also what is your next book going to be like. I have all three, they are not bad very much like The Hills and The City. Do not like Madison or her father or even her sister. Will you make Madison a little likeable perhaps in the future. And yes guys read these nothing wrong with it. Will you be writing other type of books, more about you. I just wanted to you to know, your doing great things keep it up I wish you the best always, take care.
