I prefer the original Gossip Girl characters because they just read as a more original thought. Ziegesar didn't write this series, which is totally obvious. It is alright but nothing worth rushing out to read.

Ok, so this book wasn't nearly as good as I thought it would be. But I guess it's always like that when it comes to Cecily's book. As much as I like them, they never really attend my expectations. Her ideas of happy ending are really different than mine, I guess. The characters never end the way I want them to and the relationships I love are always ruined somehow. I love the idea of opposites becoming the perfect couple, but I'm not sure she feels the same way. Also, in her books, the bad girl is always happier and better set than the good girl. I mean, nothing ever works out for people who play clean, and I don't understand why. I think she tries to portray reality, but I don't think that's how the real world really works. In her books, friendships don't mean anything, and being mean is what gets you on the top. Love is a game, badmouthing is a good thing and betrayal is common. You need to step on people to get what you want, and it's understandable if you choose to do that. I guess that, when I read a book, I expect to dream about somewhere or someone that I want to be, but that doesn't happen when it comes to this one.

Wat heerlijk is deze serie! Leest als een trein; dit is de tweede die ik uitgelezen heb vandaag. Dit deel was net iets leuker dan de vorige, er zat wat meer humor in. Perfect voor tussendoor; dompel je in de wereld van de allerrijksten van NYC. Dromen kan altijd..

These books are pretty great for a fun study distraction. They're all drama, and everyone hooking up with everyone else. They make me want to watch Gossip Girl again but I don't have the commitment to start a whole tv series so I'll probably just keep reading one of these every few months instead. I think these characters are more fleshed out in book 2 and I find it easier to imagine them because they're not in the series so I don't have preconceived images of them in my head. These books aren't gonna win any awards but they're entertaining

Just like the other gossip girl books however I have yet to feel connected to these characters. They just seem like copies of Blair and Serena and the rest of the group. I might read one more before I make a final decision on liking them.

This book finally turned me off the Gossip Girls series. This is the second book in the Caryle series which is no longer written by the original author. The writing is not as good and I just don't care about this new group of kids. I hear they are doing the same thing with The A List so California Dreaming will probably be the last one of that series I read too. Darn!
