Quick easy read during the boring parts of the main book I was reading. Skipped over the Dan and Vanessa chapters because eww. Wish there was more romance w Blair and either Nate or Chuck, but did not happen.

I am enjoying the Gossip Girl books a lot, but they are riddled with stupid stereotypes about Europe.
In this book it was Nates pot dealer moving back to Amsterdam. Seriously?
In one of the other books (Gossip Girl The Carlyles Book 1) I came across:
- Someone moving to Amsterdam to work at a tulip farm, and sending wooden shoes for Christmas every year. (OMFG! This one just blows my mind.)
- European men liking their women hairy. Trust me, we do not. European women shave just like like Americans do. Don't let 70's German porn fool you.

My review of BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT can be found in full on BookedJ's blogspot location which can be found here and will soon be posted to Tumblr as well.
Because I’m Worth It takes things up a notch for our favorite Upper East Siders. Time has passed rather quickly and the more things change, the more they stay the same. Some are given second chances, some are cleaning up their acts and some are exploring whole new worlds to discover themselves no matter what it costs those they love. As usual, we can expect a luxurious setting with tons of backstabbing, sex and rich teen angst.
(And we see the age old statement: give a girl a new haircut and she can take on the world. Wait, that’s not a thing? Oh…)
With a budding romance in rehab just beginning, other relationships fall apart. There’s plenty of romantic plots as per usual in this installment, and while some of it seems excessive and silly it still serves as an trashy entertainment at its finest. There’s a reason these books, and the “adaption”, are so popular: they are scandalous and reminiscent of a train wreck you can’t help but to watch.
On the topic of romance, something unexpected happens to our favorite teen queen B: Blair meets someone who has such a classic handsome tone to him that he just may be the next leading man to her Audrey Hepburn; the only catch is massive seeing as he is a friend of her fathers and is the man who is giving her a second chance at her Yale interview.

I'm still enjoying these books a lot. There are still definitely perspectives I love and perspectives I wish I could skip though, with Blair's POV being my favourite and either Vanessa's or Dan's being my least favourite
