Posted In: Book Review


You Just Can’t Get Enough: Gossip Girl The Carlyles by Cecily von Ziegesar
Release Date: October 7, 2008
Publisher: Poppy

Pages: 208
Other Titles in the Series: The Carlyles

“After a whirlwind first week on the Upper East Side, the Carlyles have made their mark on Manhattan’s Golden Mile. Owen is new BFFs with Rhys Sterling, but what will happen when they both fall for the same girl? Baby stole resident it girl Jack Laurent’s boyfriend…and then Avery stole Jack’s popularity. Now Jack is on the warpath, and she wants nothing more than to send the Carlyle girls packing their Louis Vuitton trunks.

Is the UES big enough for all their drama?

How can something so wrong…. be so much fun!

I was never interested in reading Gossip Girl, which is why I’ve never read the first series and I’ve never watched the television show. I’d actually like to watch the tv show, but for some reason my satellite doesn’t get that channel! Anyway… like I said I never had an interest to read the Gossip Girls series. I assumed they would be some pathetic pieces of trashy literature. Cat fights, drama, shallow people… why would I want to read about that? Uh… because it’s addicting and fun that’s why!

I am addicted. I love the cat fight, the drama and the shallow people! It’s just like high school, but better because I don’t have to witness all that shit personally. I can turn it off when I want to. And really the writing isn’t trashy at all, the characters… maybe, but not the writing.

Again like with Poseur all the trendy name dropping doesn’t do anything for me and really I don’t care what they are wearing. I just want to know who’s with whom and who’s pissed off about it. I like it steamy, I like it dirty. Yeah, I said I like it dirty.

You know you love me,
The Story Siren

    LOL @ your sign off! Have you read all the books then? I bought all of them for my sister last year so I’ll read them at some point. I really like where the covers are going i think this one is beautiful! Love all the browns!

    Have you read any of the It Girl books or A-List? I’m sort of curious about those as well.

    I have never read of the Private, GG, It Girl, A-list, etc. books! I’m asking for Private for my birthday so hopefully I’ll get it. I thoroughly enjoyed the clique books but I wish those girls were older. Hopefully I’ll like these one better!
