Dan continues to write bad poetry while hitting on a fourteen year old. Classic Dan move.
Blair tries to lose her virginity to Serena's college age brother. Where are their parents?

If you see me adding the gossip girl books that's because I'm watching How to Train Your Gavin's booktube video on the series and I remembered I read some of these when I was like 10 or 11 lol.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

None of the characters are likeable still. They all end up ruining any good things they say/do. Really enjoying the audiobooks they’re super easy to listen to.

I started re-reading the Gossip Girl series this summer, but I needed a bit of a break after reading the first four in pretty quick succession. It was nice to come back to this one though - it was so fun!
I liked that this one had Serena, Blair & Nate interacting for most of the book (they all felt very disconnected in the third and forth book which was partly my reason for needing a break from the series) and Chuck has a bigger role in this one too.
For some reason I could also really imagine the characters as their TV counterparts in this book, more than in any others in the series so far (even though I'm aware this book pre-dates the series by about 5 years) but I loved that & it helped to keep me engaged.
Short & sweet as always - I think I'm back into this series now and I do want to finish it for completeness sake. I think I'll probably pick up these books intermittently from now on as they are a good palette cleanser.

Really enjoyed things turning around for Blair and not going completely Serena's way this time.
Blair deserves some happiness, poor girl.
