Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Coco

Do you like Sex & The City? Well here are the books for the younger set, for us teenagers. Gossip Girl - about betrayal, gossip - obviously, and the lives of the rich Upper East Side residents. The book revolves mainly around six characters:
Vanessa: an ambitious emo/goth who wants to be a film maker.
Nate: a rich, hot guy who lives in the Upper East Side.
Jenny: not to so rich, a big-boobed freshman.
Dan: Jenny's brother, a poet who is in love with Vanessa
Serena: the most beautiful, and the richest girl in the whole story who gets all the guys
Blair: the rich bitch who is Nate's girlfriends
The book focuses mostly on how rich the girls are and how they use/waste their money. Readers, it seems, in my experience, become very jealous of the charachter's unsubstantial yet exciting party-filled lives.
We know what happens to the girls and how they feel. I love the way Cecil Von Ziegasar tells the stories. You really should read this book. It's not very substantial because of its subject but it's a laugh and you'll have fun. Maybe, like the rest of us, you'll get hooked to them!
