I Will Always Love You by Cecily von Ziegesar
2.0

Another installment in the Gossip Girl series. The clan of the Upper East Side have made it to college, or well most of them have. This novel starts around Christmastime, and proceeds by jumping year to year to the same time. Every year something dramatic happens, big plans are made, and by the end everyone it seems, have gone their separate ways. This novel was filled with gossip, but didn’t feel as entertaining as past novels. The characters this time around came off as annoying, and a little hard to read. The first eleven novels spent so much time talking about these characters getting into college, that once they finally got there, not much time was spent there. It felt like Ziegesar rushed through it all; the way this novel ended means more is to come, like the world will never end, which at this point feels like it may need to.
