Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar

In New York City, everything is moving around, including the lives of teenagers. S has just returned from boarding school and B, her old time best friend, hates her guts. N, B's boyfriend of nearly two years and S's best friend, confesses a secret while D out with S having a good time. At a party, C sees J, D's little sister, and thinks of her as an easy target. J calls D on his date with S and go to the party that B is hosting. B sees S and N talking after D saves J from C and gets extremely jealous. B makes N to never talk to S again and D threatens C if he ever messes with J again.

Will B and S be friends again?
Will N go behind B's back and talk to S?
Will C still go after J and her freshmen friends?
Will S and D go out ever again?
Will B and N last?

All these questions will be answered in the forthcoming books in the Gossip Girl series by Cecily von  Ziegesar.

Gossip Girl is a hit series with a total of 11 books plus one prequel that was published after the series was finished. There several conflicts going on at the same time, all someway somehow connecting to each other. Though this book was fantastic, it isn't for everyone. I love the aspect of seeing the struggles of upper class teens versus the struggles of those of a lower class. I rate this book a 4.5 out of 5.
