'It's time to fill out our college applications....Not applying to the Ivy Leagues is not an option, and not getting in to them would be a total embarrassment...But I know a few girls who aren't going to let the pressure get them down. You know you love me, gossip girl.'
The Gossip Girl series is the ultimate in glamour and cool - set in New York's glamorous Upper East Side the narrative follows the thrills and spills ( with Jimmy Choo shoes and shopping at Barneys mixed in along the way) of its richest and most beautiful teenage residents: in this second novel, this is the time they are interviewing for college (Ivy League only, naturally). Gossip Girl is the ultimate in sophistication, scandal and luxury - in fact if Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City had a younger sister, there is no doubt she would be 'gossip girl'!
