GENRE: Chick - Lit
HONORS: None
REVIEW: The Gossip Girls are the epitome of high society. A promiscuous, tight knit social circle of teen girls from the New York City's Upper East Side, who have everything at their finger tips. Unlimited shopping sprees, trips to Europe, scenesters to the best parties, where of course no one dares ID them. They are even a cultured bunch, as being invited to art openings and having been accepted into Ivy League colleges. Serena is back from boarding school, and her friendship with Blair is in jeopardy. They were once close, even close enough to make out with each other, but ever since Serena returned, she is taking over Blair's spotlight and the attention of the Nate, who was once her heart throb and now Blair's.
OPINION: Christina Ricci makes the abridged audiobook version an entertaining, laugh out loud guilty pleasure. The gossip girls never have a care in the world, except for the drama that they conjure up themselves. The plot is unrealistic, but the promiscuity, heavy drinking, and glamorous lifestyle can be a thrilling escape for teen girls who would like to dream what it would be like to be rich, beautiful, and popular in New York City.
