Entertaining, but I still preferred the original characters.

Ik geef dit deel 4.5 ster, het einde was gewoon te voorspelbaar. Eind goed, al goed met een bruiloft op de Bahama's en iedereen die uiteindelijk toch bij zijn "geliefde" terechtkomt. Desalniettemin een leuke afsluiter van deze serie.

I love the Gossip Girl books and the Carlyle spin-offs (and I'm not going to say how old I am, but suffice to say I'm about twice the age of the target demographic), and man. This book. It was something else. It somehow made the rest of the books look like fine literature. My favorite part was playing a game every time an unusual name got dropped (Corner Bakery, Le Tigre, Sleater-Kinney, Bitch magazine): who is the ghostwriter?
Anyway, it was certainly no less enjoyable than the rest of the books, if much more ridiculous.

Goodbye Gossip Girl series. Finally, almost done. I just need to read the Psycho Killer one and I’ll be finished.

In the smokin’ hot finale (I can’t believe I used that term, God I’m embarrassing myself) of Gossip Girl: The Carlyles the gang is picking up the pieces from the explosive storm of drama that had hit their lives in recent months and are fast on their way to a well earned vacation. Life on the Upper East Side has never been crazier and things have finally, mostly, cooled off for this batch of spoiled teenagers.
Just as the luxurious cast before them, the holidays (see: Thanksgiving!) are looking steamy for our kids. And I, for one, couldn’t wait to dive on in to this trash pile… ahem…
Friendships have been formed and mended, relationships have dissolved into thin air and romance is beginning to bud between a few perfect matches. And families will grow with Avery, Owen and Baby’s mothers newest – most serious – romance. But what happens when these triplets meet their soon-to-be stepsister, and just how well can they adjust to her mothers long term relationship?
Last we saw, Jack and Avery had hung up their feud and formed an unlikely friendship, but how long can these two ladies really stick together? Is their friendship real and more than just going out, partying and talking fashion? Or is their connection a genuine friendship that is beneficial for both? And what of Jack’s group of friends from Constance?

The last Gossip Girl book finds us in the Bahamas where the triplets and some of their friends head for a vacation where a marriage proposal happens and it becomes a mad dash to get a wedding ready in a day. This novel also dives into the little relationships between each of the characters. What this novel did well was figuring out what it means to truly care about another human being, and that was enjoyable to read. Otherwise the plots were all very arbitrary and didn’t hold much weight; they felt kind of petty and small. The characters as much as they were learning and growing and did somewhat find their place by the end their problems that they kept having to face felt trivial. The writing was alright; it was like past novels in the fact that things were basic, plots were straightforward and characters acted more or less the same as always. Overall, it was an entertaining and mindless read.

Aaaand that's it for the Gossip Girl series! It took around 5 years for me to collect the entire series (the main series, the prequel, the sequel, and the spin-off) and I've finally finished all of it.
Although I'm kind of sad that The Carlyles just ended there with only 4 books and there aren't going to be any future books. I don't think it was discontinued per se, I think it really was only intended to be made up of four books as the last Gossip Girl "message" in the last page of this book felt really final and there weren't any follow-up questions about the characters, like Gossip Girl usually wrote.
