These are such quick reads but also forgettable. Nothing happens even when heaps happens. They keep going back on all the things they say they’re over & it’s just as messy as the tv show was. I need something dramatic to happen now though.

Quick, light, easy read. These books are my guilty pleasure. I'm surprised how quickly the tv show veered away from the books.

As I get further and further into this series, I kind of wonder why I'm still going, they're ok but the show was soo much better, one of the few adaptations I can say that about and it makes me sad, I wanted to love these books, maybe as I keep going they'll get better.

This is the sixth book in the Gossip Girl book series. College acceptance letters are arriving and Serena and Nate get in everywhere they applied while Blair is wait-listed for her dream school, Yale. Jenny becomes a model with Serena's help as she realizes she wants to be more like Serena. Dan and Vanessa decide to live together, briefly. Dan becomes irritated with Vanessa's new friend Tiphany and her ferret. I liked seeing Serena recount her previous romances and flings and coming to the conclusion that she’s never fallen passionately in love before. I liked seeing Blair be rejected by Yale and angered that Serena and Nate were accepted everywhere. I liked seeing Aaron return in this novel, I’m surprised by how much I like his character in the book series. I liked seeing Serena’s free-spirited adventures with boys and I liked seeing her enjoy her fleeting flings with random boys in this book. I thought the way that a monkey and ferret were featured in this story was too weirdly quirky, but I’m sure there are rich kids out there with similar and more exotic animals for pets. I liked seeing the birth of Blair’s baby sister and I liked seeing Blair with the baby. I’m curious to see where Dan and Vanessa’s characters go from here, and I’m wondering if Blair and Nate’s relationship will remain a focus in the future. I expected them to have broken up permanently by now. As a fan of the show, it’s strange seeing Chuck as a less important secondary character, though I still prefer this version of Chuck over the version from the television show. While I did like this book and there were some small character developments, I do still feel like there should have been more meaningful character arcs by now since this is the halfway point of the entire book series.
