Gossip Girl (Gossip Girl #1)

Reader reviewed by Emma Blaisdell

I think this book is the best book I have ever read it has everything you could want in a book it has a story of love,despair, and friendship(including friendships that don't work out). Gossip Girl shows yopu everything that you shouldn't do but it teaches you not to do those things so it just makes you want to read more they are the best books I have EVER read (with The Clique books by Lisi Harrison)

I love everything about this book and the two books that follow it, "You know You Love Me" and "Nobody's Perfect." I have all my friends read it, and they love it to. We all DYING for the fourth one to come out sometime in October. In the book, you're able to experience a lifestyle you couldn't imagine and teh author writes as if you were there. I also LOVE how the author writes . As paragraphs change, she also changes the characters feelings and thoughts. so after one character acts one way, you're able to read about the other's reactions to it. The way the author writes always wants you to keep on reading. It's a book no girl should do without!!

i loved this book! it reminded me of The Clique and the movie Mean Girls, but nastier, sexier, and for older teens. it was sooo good. it was like a chocolate bar you didn't want to finish, and when it was gone, you wanted more. i wanted to read the rest of this series when i was done! i love the character blair. and the author did a really good job of writing it! i finished it in two days. i like how theres a bunch of different characters and theres more than one story going on. i love books like that!!!

THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME!! I for one don't haven't ever been in a big city, so it was awesome that I could read a book that makes me feel like I am in New York. I love how awesome the characters are, and how different their moods are. The book is a page-turner and makes you feel like shopping lol

Everyone has bad experiences and tough lives, and yes, (as difficult as it is to believe) even rich people.

This story is about a whole bunch of different characters in New York (Upper East side and West Side, mostly). Serena is kicked out of boarding and comes back to her old school, hoping to hang out with her best friend Blair once again. However, Blair acts really mean to Serena because no longer is Blair the prettiest girl who gets all the attention. Yes, some of the characters are really self-absorbed, but you can't help but find out what will happen to them next.

The writer's style of writing is so different from what I've ever read, and I've read plenty o' books. The transitions from the inner thoughts of each character will either make you sympathize with them of downright hate them. It's really hard to put down. I would recommend you to read the rest of the series.

I just finished this book like two weeks ago and i can definitely say it was even better than the first book. I really want to find out if Blair gets into Yale. And her and Nate have come "close" so many times its not even funny. Get to the point and the other characters need to stop interfereing! And whats up with Jenny and Nate? Its like, hello? what about blair? it still kept me reading though. Great book, Cecily Von Ziegsar!

Ever wonder what rich New York City girls live like? Gossip Girl is the first of a series of 10 books. Blair Waldorf is one of the good looking seniors in the all girl school, Upper East Side, while her boyfriend Nate goes to St. Judes, an all boys school. Life is about to change since Blairs best friend Serena van der Woodsen just came back from being kicked out of boarding school. Serena comes back looking better than Blair.
Nate was already turning to go, striding back down the hall to see if it could possibly be true. Had Serena van der Woodson really come back? The movie of Blairs life had taken a sudden, tragic turn.

With some books I can guess what happens, with this book is not as predictable. I loved this book so much since I enjoyed everything thing going on, like all the fights and feelings of everyone. The characters in the book all have wealthy, fabulous lives, but have the usual problems like boys, school, and friends. All the problems have a twist.
Blair is having problems with her boyfriend, Nate because he is interested in Serena more than Blair. Blair is extremely jealous, making it even worse. Serena only looks at Nate as a friend and nothing more. Serenas beauty just attracts any guys that see her. Will Blair stay with Nate? Will Serenas beauty ruin her friendship with Blair? Also, college is almost a year a way and Blair is thinking ahead of herself trying to join every club possible to get into her dream school.
I rate Gossip Girl five stars out of five because I love this book better than any other book. There is so much drama I can relate to, and the book just excites me. With every page I read there is another one I want to turn. I guarantee you will want to read all the books in the series after you are finished with the first one. There are ten books total; the next one is Gossip Girl: You Know You Love me.
I recommend this book to any teenage girl. If you interested in any kind of drama or gossip not involving you, this book is for you. The book is interesting and draws you in with all the problems.
