I was a loyal watcher of the original Gossip Girl series on TV. I even got sucked into the re-do/re-imagining of the series as well (definitely not as good as the first). So I thought I'd pick up the book and give it a try - this was after reading another book by Cecily von Ziegesar called Class.
I started Gossip Girl on July 2 and finished it on July 8. A quick read.
Maybe because I already knew the TV series (watched it when it originally aired and then again more recently), I had high expectations for this book.
Sadly, I didn't love it. Maybe there were too many nuanced differences between the book and the series. I don't know. But I know I didn't like it enough to read any of the other ones in this book series. For me, the show, the original show, was better.
