Because I'm Worth It by Cecily von Ziegesar

3.0

The fourth novel in the Gossip Girl series, and man does the drama heat up. Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day hits. Not only that but our main characters are becoming famous! Serena has become this huge runway model doing ads for perfume. Dan has become a semi-famous poet going to fancy parties and gaining an agent, his girlfriend Vanessa is also going to famous parties and filming strange things. Blair finds herself with an older man, even though she’s still not over Nate, while Nate is clearly over her, hello Georgina Sparks. Jenny finds herself a little confused as her new best friend Elise comes on to her. It’s juicy and filled with fun plotlines that the reader can’t help but want to read. We also get a clue as to whom Gossip Girl can be, the mystery of who she, or possibly he, is may become a central plot in the coming novels. It’s exciting to read about and the author does a great job of keeping points of view short, witty, and strongly detailed. The characterization of each character is simply put together, that makes them memorable and exhilarating. Overall, this novel made up for the last novel’s boring relationship induced sludge, this novel definitely had a more rounded plot.
