Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Sara

Within the covers of this book you'll find the juciest gossip on the most interesting girls on New York's Upper East Side. You "enter the world of Gossip Girl - a world inhabited by the city's most fabulous crowd; a world of jealousy, betrayal, and naughty pictures on the sides of buses".

When I first saw and heard about the Gossip Girl books I wasn't that interested. My sister wanted to read them though, so I bought the first one. At first I wasn't that into it... and then it caught me, as I've heard these books are known to do. Now I think I might be addicted. I think it might have something to do with the fact that reading about there messed up lives makes me not think about my messed up life, whatever it is though, the gossip is good. I can't help wondering, who is Gossip Girl? Do we know her as a character, or is she just a quiet bystander in the drama? I'm not sure that this is really that appropriate for younger, middle school girls, due to the fact that some might not understand that the behavior of most of these girls is not good. I'm sure some younger girls will be able to handle it well though.
