In You Just Can’t Get Enough, the second book of the Gossip Girl spin off, Gossip Girl: The Carlyles, readers see things heating up once more in the lives of this batch of wealthy teenage Upper East Siders. And it’s oh-so-obvious that the drama that blew into the city with the arrival of The Carlyle triplets is only just getting started. But how much drama can one set of siblings really bring to Manhattan?

We’re greeted once more by the familiar voice of Gossip Girl as she reports to us the scandalous happenings of this next generation of up-to-no-good kids – and things are certainly far more entertaining in this installment than the last one. Back are the same group of teenagers from this generation – Baby, Avery, Owen, Rhys, Jack and a variety of other side characters and as always, this second book picks up right where we left off.

Jack is losing heat – her home life, ballet, her social life and now her boyfriend have all seemingly fallen from her grasp. And she’s on the ultimate war path when it comes down to the Carlyles. What happens when she falls upon a piece of information that will certainly come in handy about Owen Carlyle and what – or who – he did last summer? And how can she use it to her advantage?

More importantly, what happens when it all backfires? And what sassy entries does Gossip Girl have planned for these kids?

Not sure I have anything specific to say. Just another mindless Gossip Girl book that I managed to power through in one day. I guess that's one good thing about these books; they're so light, you can just finish it quickly without letting it weigh you down (which is what happens with most books when I try to speed-read them). It's perfect for one of those days where you're lazy/don't want to do anything else.

Now that Carlyle triplets have started to establish a name for themselves on the Upper East Side they continue to cause trouble around town. Owen befriends a guy named Rhys who each fall for the same girl; Baby finds love in another’s boyfriend, and Avery finds power in another’s popularity. This novel takes New York by storm and we, the reader, get to find out more about who these characters are. The plot was alright; nothing extraordinary happened, everything that happened was filled with drama. It was definitely entertaining, and some plots took readers through a bit of a loop that weren’t seen coming, but for the most part plots were predictable, but that is what made this a guilty pleasure read. What was done well was the development of characters. Characters who were simple and two dimensional broke out in this novel and became more three dimensional. They became more than just who they were dating, and started to figure out who they are as people. Ultimately, it’s another Gossip Girl novel that takes the reader through the drama that is the Upper East Side.

[2.5 Sterne]

Immer noch gut zu lesen. Trotzdem auch etwas langweilig. Die Figuren erinnern teilweise stark an die Berühmten Vorgänger und die Handlungen der einzelnen Charaktere sind auch ziemlich vorhersehbar.
Ganz nett für zwischendurch - muss man aber nicht unbedingt gelesen haben.
