Dan had experimented with homosexuality, before he began dating Vanessa Abrams (whom he had known at his old state school). Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. He has a younger sister, Jenny, who became the star of the Gossip Girl spin-off book series, The It Girl. Nate becomes the object of affection for a new love named Tawny and they begin dating, however when Serena and Blair meet her they are not impressed.

The former special forces officer is heading to Europe, to go face to face with some of Putin's most killer henchmen! So, are these books just author wish-fulfillment, of what she dreamed her teenage years were like, or did Cecily herself get up to some mischief? If you want a piece of escapist fantasy, and your fantasy involves New York, hipsters, and expensive penthouses, pick this up. But, reading about celebrity-types is one of my guilty pleasures and maybe, just maybe, I’ll read the rest of the books in the series, to see if the TV show matches up.The books either end with Blair and Serena fighting (which usually means Blair acting haughty and pretending to be in Roman Holiday or some such, and Serena being totally oblivious to the fact that Blair is mad at her), or with Blair and Serena making out with each other in front of a bunch of people at some party. After stealing his lacrosse coach's Viagra, he relied on Blair and her alumnus father's connections to get accepted into Yale. It would simply have been too unimaginable that I could possibly experience anything that these uber-cool semi-adults do. There are twelve books in the main Gossip Girl book series, a prequel, and a parody of the first book where Blair and Serena become serial killers.

The characters are all 2 dimensional and predictable - all super hot, super trendy, super rich, super popular and few if any have any redeeming qualities. College interviews bring out the best and worst in the seniors, as Blair hangs out with her new stepbrother-to-be Aaron Rose, and Dan finds out how just not into him Serena is. Blair from the books and tv Blair are actually quite similar, with the exception of one big difference. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be more than he can cope with.The Gossip Girls books are about a group of Manhattan’s elite teens living on the Upper East Side attending Constance Billiard School for Girls.
