For the first time in the series, the book ended in a way that made me look forward to the next one. Getting better!

I thought this book was pretty good. I feel like this series is not really going anywhere, but I liked the book itself. Can't wait to read the next one.

Jenny har stora bröst.
Serena är perfekt, snygg, vacker och har jag sagt perfekt. För det får man läsa om att alla tycker HELA TIDEN.
Nate är en otrogen pothead, big suprise there.
Daniel är tråkig, ännu mer tråkig än vanligare.
Vanessa har nu en pojkvän som faktiskt passar henne.
Och sist men inte minst, Blair kom äntligen in på skolan hon alltid har drömt om men förlorande sin pojkvän och bästa vän.

I hate Serena even more than I did watching the show. God she’s so selfish that scene was WOW. She’s all vibes and no thoughts and is shocked when she’s caught. Nate’s s stoner loser who thinks women are interchangeable and every time I think these two are finally thinking of anyone but themselves they prove me wrong. Jenny’s a brat. Dans a loser. Chucks a wanker. Vanessa’s intolerable. Blair is awful. The show did a better job at making me feel some empathy for the characters because it’s the only thing the book lacks, which means I’m always mad at the characters for just being assholes in every situation. They’re never redeemed and that, paired with all the fatphobia, homophobia etc (I understand it was a different time but it’s definitely not it and I don’t care) is very ick. I like them, but I’ll never love them. I’d never recommend them today and it’s honestly sad that this was what was sold to us as kids back then because it really normalised it at such a young age and it never should have been a thing.

Typical, light, fluffy read. Every once in awhile I need to read something where I don't need to think at all. And these books are a pleasant escape for me.
