the Bear library lists this as "fun fiction." I have to show my age but it was complete trash. I remain fervent that no book should ever be banned but I will never encourage any girl I know to read this.

I didn't like this book nearly as much as the original Gossip Girl series, nor as much as the "It Girl" spin off, but I liked it well enough. I'm interested to see where the series goes and if there's any of the old GG characters making an appearance.

Ik geef dit boek 3.5 ster. Als "fan" van GossipGirl kon ik het natuurlijk niet laten om deze serie ook te (gaan) lezen (oh ja, en It Girl: guilty). Dompel je onder in het weelderige leven van de Upper East-siders: geweldig. Al het geroddel, de luxe en het vriendjes pikken. Ik ben misschien wat te oud voor deze boeken, maar vermakelijk blijft het.

This was pretty similar to the main Gossip Girl series- all scandal and rich kid drama, but I think I was slightly more into it because these are new characters, whereas I already had expectations about the GG characters from watching the show first.

I used to be obsessed with the gossip girl series and the it girl series and also the carlyles spin off! I'm going to devour this and feel 14 again!

This is the first book in the continuation of the Gossip Girl series. The original characters are all gone and this book - The Carlyles - focuses on completely different rich kids living in Manhattan and going to the same schools as before. I thought it was ok. The characters were in the same vein as the previous book. The plots are starting to stretch a little thing but since this is a guilty pleasure for me, much like reading US Magazine, I am glad to see the series continue.
