Maybe this series just needs some time to really take off, but I didn't find this latest series quite as cattily addictive as the other ones were. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it a lot, it was a fun, light beachy read that followed a lot of the same types of storylines that I have come to expect.

But for some reason, it all felt less fresh than it did in the other Gossip Girl books. Like the author knew what had to happen for drama's sake and plodded through writing that storyline regardless of whether it felt real. When I read author interviews, they often say that the characters took on a life of their own and that they, the author, often didn't know how it was all going to turn out.

The lack of that unscripted freshness really did damage to this book, I think.

That said, I sound like I must not have enjoyed it, but I did. I read it in a couple days and it was nice having something light and fun to read. I liked having new characters to get to know and having them go to some familiar places.

It's just that after enjoying the other series so much for its newness and freshness, it is disappointing to find this one lacking sizzle. I'll probably buy the second one and see if it picks up, but if I feel the same about that I won't continue reading. I didn't like the manufactured feeling of the drama.

My teenage daughter reads this series. It is a typical teenage book....not high quality writing, but entertaining nonetheless. Easy reading level.

quick and exactly as advertised

I am a 69-year-old man who is quite out of touch with the generation portrayed in this book. I have no idea how realistic the book is. I generally read only nonfiction and picked this book up thinking it was a satire on young adult books. Reading it from that perspective it was very enjoyable. There is a lot of humor in it, and a lot of humorous side comments. The author doesn't take herself or the contents very seriously.

To the extent it realistically portrays the young generation, I am shocked. I neither condemn nor praise their lifestyle, but if the book is realistic, it ought to be read by my generation, most of whom are probably as out-of-touch as I am.

I'm not too happy about this spin-off series. I wish she just ended it with Gossip Girl and the It Girl.

Upon first reading the beginning couple chapters, I realized the book was written...differently - in an almost desperate attempt to portray a fake writing style. I flipped back to the beginning and noted it wasn't written by Cecily Von Whatever (though several of her books are said to be ghost-written); this particular book by Annabelle Vestry, however, screams it.

The plot is interesting and has the signature twists and turns of the original Gossip Girls, it grabbed my attention immediately, though is overshadowed by Vestry's attempt at wit. After every paragraph (literally), there's an increasingly annoying "witty" comment made by the narrator. It's actually a huge reason why I'm not a fan of the books. There are so so many of these comments, most of them eye-roll inducing.

The original Gossip Girl flowed naturally, whereas this one appeared to be forced. As if Vestry is saying "Let me prove to you how uppity I can make these characters be."

If you're looking for a good Gossip Girl spin-off, try the It Girl which I favorite even more than the original Gossip Girl.
