Book description
 Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends
and I live and go to school and play and sleep - sometimes with each
other. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, and we know
how to party. It's a luxe life, but someone's got to live it.'
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.
 At the lighter end of the scale, those of you who've been waiting
for a new BFF to fill the gaping OC/Dawson's/90210 hole in your lives
could do far worse than sign up for an upper east side preppy education
in Gossip Girl (March, ITV2). Based on Cecily von Ziegesar's string of
novels. It's Cruel Intentions with a noughties Abercrombie sheen - and
as it's adapted by Josh Schwartz (the Seth Cohenalike behind The OC),
you'd be right to expect a string of zippy one-liners, powerhouse teen
bitchiness and a general fascination with the lives of the urban rich'
Cecily von Zeigesar herself attended one of the smart private
schools in Manhattan, New York, and many of the tales told in
Gossip Girl ring with great authenticity as a result.
