the Bear library lists this as "fun fiction." I have to show my age but it was complete trash. I remain fervent that no book should ever be banned but I will never encourage any girl I know to read this.

I didn't like this book nearly as much as the original Gossip Girl series, nor as much as the "It Girl" spin off, but I liked it well enough. I'm interested to see where the series goes and if there's any of the old GG characters making an appearance.

Ik geef dit boek 3.5 ster. Als "fan" van GossipGirl kon ik het natuurlijk niet laten om deze serie ook te (gaan) lezen (oh ja, en It Girl: guilty). Dompel je onder in het weelderige leven van de Upper East-siders: geweldig. Al het geroddel, de luxe en het vriendjes pikken. Ik ben misschien wat te oud voor deze boeken, maar vermakelijk blijft het.

This was pretty similar to the main Gossip Girl series- all scandal and rich kid drama, but I think I was slightly more into it because these are new characters, whereas I already had expectations about the GG characters from watching the show first.

I used to be obsessed with the gossip girl series and the it girl series and also the carlyles spin off! I'm going to devour this and feel 14 again!

This spin-off was not as good as the It-Girl, I expected it to be just as fun and nice as Gisspi Girl and It-Girl ~maybe even nicer~ but it wasn't. The story of 1 of the carlyle sisters was quite boring (I don't know the names anymore, I read them a long time ago, but I mean the hippie-Carlyle sister ;) ) jup this book series was quite a let-down :(
