After a stressful junior year full of books like The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, and The Grapes of Wrath, I was eager to fill my summer with some lighter literature. I found the first Gossip Girl book and read it about five times. After what seemed like an endless wait, the second novel came out, and I ate it up. Although you may not want to do your AP English 4 book report on it, You Know You Love Me is an awesome book if you're into gossip, money, shopping, scandal, and relationships (and who isn't???). The storyline, about a group of devious high society New York kids, may not relate to many people, but that's why we love it so much! However, I WAS able to relate to some of the things the characters are going through, especially their college applications and interviews. I would definitely reccomend this book, and the first Gossip Girl, to any teenage girl who's looking for a book that will make you smile but not make you think too hard.

In Gossip Girl's second installment, Blair Waldorf and the rest of the Manhattan prep school kids are back in what was another round of great, whatelse, gossip!
Blair's seventeenth birthday is fast approaching and there is nothing else that she wants more than her hottie boyfriend Nate's full fledged attention. But birthday's aren't the only thing on Blair's mind. Blair has an interview at Yale coming up and her mother is getting married again, after a 2 month courtship, to Cyrus Rose, a man of the high society, who just happens to have a hot son named Aaron, a hippie. Worst of all, Blair's mom has chosen Blair's former best friend Serena as bridsmaid instead of Blair and of course such a big occasion must also catch the attention of Vogue, the magazine, who will be taking pictures at the wedding.
Then there is Nate himself. Blairs been so busy with all the wedding and college applications that shes been too busy to see that Nate isn't exactly hers anymore. He has been secretly dating Jenny Humphrey, a ninth-grader, whose got some pretty good attributes in the chest area. Jenny's brother Danny, the romantic poet, is still swooning over Serena, whose busy with her interview with Brown.
Bad languague, inapprapriate situations, makes Gossip Girl appropriate for only mature readers but once you get into them, you really can't put it down. The storylines are enticing and the scandals are just pure fun. The characters are great and there is never a dull moment. A definite must read if you want to catch up on some "gossip".

You Know You Love Me is a continuation of the last book in the Gossip Girl series entitled Gossip Girl. Ziegesar brings back Blair and Serena's scandalous, yet enticing, affairs, and their minor problems.
You Know You Love Me begins with the characters of "Gossip Girl" applying to Ivy League Colleges, and Blair planning not only her seventeenth birthday, but also helping her mother get ready for her wedding, which is being photographed for Vogue. Yes, the magazine. Then there's Serena, who is being constantly pursued by Dan, a disturbed poet with intense affections.
But, although these kids are rich, obviously money can't buy you everything. At least it can't buy Blair Waldorf everything. For Blair's seventeenth birthday bash is coming up, and she knows that the only thing that she can possibly wish for is Nate Archibald, her troubled, yet gorgeous, boyfriend, of course. But little does she know that while she's sending out college applications, Nate is fooling around with Jenny Humphrey, a ninth-grader!!
This book is set for people 15 & over, due to bad language and racy content. Fans of "Sex and the City" and "Cruel Intentions" will relish in the likeness of this book, and the characters rich and scandalous lifestyles. A great read when you're looking for some...gossip.

Although I can't say that I was expecting too much, I think this book definitely exceeded my expectations. It was a lot better than the first for sure, and the story line seemed to be much more interesting. Basically it builds on the main ideas from last time: Dan's stalker-like obsessions with Serena, Blair wanting to go all the way with Nate, Blair's mother getting married, Serena's movie, etc etc. The focus of the book is that everyone is getting ready to head off to university, so you read about a lot of them on road trips going to interviews with potential schools. This book had such a surprise ending, with some relationships breaking apart, and some new relationships developing too (there's especially one bizarre relationship between two people you'd never expect to get together). I guess that's what I like about this book, it's not predictable. It leaves you guessing right up to the last few pages. A great overall read. Make sure you've read the first book if you're new to the series, because I don't think you'd be able to keep up with this one if you haven't. If you've read the first, make sure to snatch up this second one!

I thought Gossip Girl was a witty and clever satire about Upper East Side teens and their "plights." You Know You Love Me, the second part of the series, is the continuation of the betrayal, rivalry and poisonous gossip that occurred in the first installment.
The gang is preparing for the gruesome period of having to decide which college to apply for. An overachiever with a poor-little-rich-girl complex, Blair wants to be accepted to Yale and is determined to lose her virginity to Nate before the end of senior year. To her chagrin, Nate has other ideas. To make matters worse, her mother decides to get married on Blair's birthday. Will she be able to deal with all the pressure? Unsure about the course of her future, all Serena van der Woodsen wants is to have fun. But will she be forced to wise up when she discovers a young artist's devotion to her? There are some fun twists in this second installment. You Know You Love Me is sheer entertainment. I can't recommend it enough.

This book is about Blair and problems that are starting to occur in her life. She finds out that her mom is getting married to her boyfriend and that soon Blair will have a new stepbrother name Aaron. Nate dumps Blair for Jennifer, a freshman and Blair is upset. One good thing that happens, though, is that Serena and Blair fix their friendship and everything is back to normal. Aaron and Blair end up going to Yale together for Blair's interview. They decide to leave a day early and they stay up all night. Blair oversleeps and she has no time to get ready for her interview. She is so stressed that she ends up kissing her interviewer and spilling the problems she is having in her life.
Personally, I thought that this was better than the first one. It had a better plot and got into more detail. After reading this book I couldn't wait to start reading the next one.

This one mostly focuses on Blair, Nate, and Jenny/Jennifer. Blair wants to finally lose her virginity to Nate, but the thing is Nate has started seeing a younger girl, a freshemn whom he calls Jennifer. Blair has no idea he is seeing someone else! Of course, Blair eventually finds out, and now her mom is marrying her boyfriend who Blair can't stand and he also has a son, Blair's new step-brother Aaron!
Blair's life has been so hectic lately that when she goes for her Yale interview she completely blows its! She told them about her family problems, a crime she did, and why her life is so screwed up, and after she kissed her interview, old enough to be her father! Blair's life is no longer so perfect.
An improvement to the first book with a better plot. If you read the first in the series and enjoyed it I highly recommend this book!

Well, where do I begin? As you know I read the book, You Know You Love Me, by Celicity von Ziegesar, in the Gossip Girl series. Personally I felt that the book really touched upon a lot of things that real high school students face every day of their lives. I would know since I am one of those many high school students.
One of the things I loved about the book is deffinatley how it sort of makes you think about how much the characters in the book, are really like you in one way or another. For example, Blair is very much like me. She has some idea of what she wants out of life, but is more conserned about what her boyfriend thinks of her, and how her hair looks, than going to college. What she doesn't know is that her boyfriend Nate is cheating on her with a freshman in their high school.
The girl's name is Jenny and she is so happy to be going out with a senior, that she totally forgets that this senior is Blair's boyfriend. When she finally realizes this, she is to attached to Nate to let him go, so she just sits back and thinks that things are over with Nate and Blair.
Now that you know three of the characters, let me give you the last two! Dan and Serena! Blair and Serena used to be best freinds, up until the point that Serena got kicked out of school, and came back a totally different person. Now Blair's mom is getting married, and guess who's one of the brides maids? Serena! Will the two of them get along? I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to read the book! Now meet Dan.
Dan is in love with Serena, but he gets the feeling that she just likes him as a friend. On a weekend trip to colleges with her, and former best friend Nate, Blairs boyfriend, another reason for the hatred between Serena and Blair, he'll find out about the real Serena. What will he think after that? You'll have to find out for your self!
I loved all of the suspense between all of the chracters in the book, and all also like how everything flows together in it. One thing I didn't like was how each chapter was about a different person, but after a while you got used to how they moved from person to person.
I loved this book, and I hope that after reading this book review, you'll go out and read it too!
