Gossip Girl: You Know You Love Me: A Gossip Girl Novel

By Cecily von Ziegesar

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, xoxo Gossip Girl

Don’t come at me for this, but I think the show was better. I know the book came first, but there’s just something about seeing the drama play out vs reading it that is more captivating. I still loved the book, don’t get me wrong.

It's ridiculous how stuck up and bitchy these characters are, but I just can't help but keep reading. It's like a little guilty pleasure. There lives and stories are so silly that it makes me laugh. I can't help but want to know what else is going to happen.

I've never seen the television show, so this whole world is new to me. I have nothing to compare it too. But I think I am already going to like the books better. They just seem a little more stupid then what they would appear on screen.

I love New York and fashion, so that's probably a good reason to why I'm staying attached to the characters. I like reading about all the fancy duds they are wearing.

I do however want to punch Blair in the face. Does that make me a horrible person?

I recommend this as a quick read, an entertaining read. There's no substance or value in it, and you don't learn a lesson at the end. But hey, it's funny.
