I wasn't really liking this one (book 11) when I realized it is "created by" Ccily von Ziegesar. I think this is not the same thing as "by" because before even realizing that I could note a difference in style and tone. And I'm no prude but they're dropping f-bombs in this book like everyone on Manhattan's upper east side is a truck driver. But I finished it because this is (I am led to believe) the last of the series and if we want more we've got to pick up the Carlyles. But I think I'm done...my little guilty pleasure run with the Gossip Girls was fun while it lasted!

I liked it, but as the last book in the series, I expected it to feel more.. Final.

The one where Dan’s mom throws him a huge “Happy Gay Day” surprise party to celebrate him coming out as gay, where they eat hot dogs with seminal-like mustard, have phallic shaped cake, and his mom and Vanessa where black and hot pink baby tanks that say “PFLAG” (parents and friends of lesbians and gays) and “HE”S MY GAY BOYFRIEND” across the chest. Dan’s boyfriend Greg wears rainbow suspenders and teaches everyone how to make cosmopolitans. Chuck Bass is also at the party with his snow monkey Sweetie- who is wearing a tiny t shirt that says “SILENCE = DEATH”. Jenny Humphrey famously wears a purple Juicy Couture sweat suit and navy Pumas.

Dan writes the following poem:
Love. Above. Shove.
I love to shove you from above?
Kiss. Bliss. Piss.

Open the fridge and put
My heart on a plate
I’m just as you left me, and I taste even better leftover.
Pale fury, why did you leave me?
You’re prickly in the morning. So prickly.
This isn’t a cooking show.
This isn’t chemistry or geography.
It’s physics. Pure physics.

As usual, this book repeated most of what the last book did. There was some new characters announced and some inspiring things, but as in all the books, Serena and Blair hate eachother, Nate doesn't know what he wants, and Dan...well, he's Dan. This was one of my least favorite books in the Gossip Girl series.
