Synopsis

Serena van der Woodsen is back from boarding school -- but is she still the Upper East Side's It Girl? The wickedly funny first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that inspired the original hit CW show and the HBO Max series.

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I live, go to school, play, and sleep -- sometimes with each other.

S is back from boarding school, and if we aren't careful, she's going to win over our teachers, wear that dress we couldn't fit into, steal our boyfriends' hearts, and basically ruin our lives in a major way. I'll be watching closely...

You know you love me.

About this title

About the Author

Cecily von Ziegesar has always lived in New York City. This is her first novel, although she's written lots of things about lots of people. She's already working on a sequel, so be careful what you do or say and who you're seen with.

Reviews

This bit of fluff is apparently intended for teenaged girls from middle school to high school. A vapid exploration of meaningless relationships; shallow, materialistic girls; and their preoccupations, the production is like listening in on a teenaged girl's conference call. Why a talented actress like Christina Ricci consented to be attached to this recording is a mystery; she seems disconnected from the material, endowing it with distance and coolness. Maria DeLuca provides the "gossip" in a voice hard to distinguish from Ricci's. The full GOSSIP GIRL product line is also on a Web site, which one concludes is a popular watering hole for teens.
