This is a separate entity from the television series. Besides some events, and character names, it could be two different 'Gossip Girl's'. Dan is no where near as annoying and Vanessa is less annoying to.. Hmmm. Basically Vanessa is kick-ass cool and Dan drinks too much coffee.

Just as vapid as I'd feared.

Thought I'd check it out to see if it's okay for my 13 year old daughter to read. The answer is no. In fact, I'm not sure I'd want my 16-year-old reading it. There are a lot of references to sex, drinking and drugs, not to mention the language.

It's not bad if you're a fan of chick lit, but I don't really see what all the fuss is about and why it was made into a TV show.
