Wickedly funny yet painfully poignant at times, this is a story of Selena, Blair, Chuck, Nate and other teens living in New York's elite high society surrounded by sex, drugs, alcohol, and high fashion.
Part novel and part pseudo blog by columnist, Gossip Girl (GG), GG's postings describe the drama being played out between each of the major characters. There's definitely plenty of juicy gossip going around.
Whether you side with Blair, Selena, or with with any of the other characters, it's hard not to feel compassionate once you get past their shallow and pettiness behaviors. They each have their own flaws.
In the end, it is really about finding out who your "real" friends are, whom to trust, learning to live with betrayals, and dealing with peer pressure. This the first novel of the series with a TV series also being aired.
A must read for teens.
Genre: Contemporary Life/Issues/Romance fiction
