Synopsis
Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I live in luxe Fifth Avenue apartments and attend Manhattan's most exclusive private schools. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, we wear fantastic clothes, and we know how to party. We can't help it-we were born this way.
Our story begins with three inseparable, completely gorgeous fifteen-year-olds, Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, and Nate Archibald. Blair's loved Nate and his glittering green eyes since she was in Bonpoint onesies. Too bad Nate wishes Blair's beautiful
best friend, Serena, was the one with the crush. And Serena has a secret she's keeping from them both. Hmmm, something tells me these best friends may not be as close as we thought. . . .
How do I know all this? Because I know everything-and lucky for you, I can't keep a secret. So sit back while I untangle this messy little tale and tell you how it all began.
Admit it, you're already falling for me.
You know you love me.

Publishers Weekly
In Cornwell's latest mystery thriller, the celebrated author's At Risk team pairs up once again to tackle a loose association of police departments known as the Front. With a powerful stage presence and a voice that captivates for hours, Kate Reading delivers a home-run performance that captures the essence and authority of Cornwell's prose. Reading, whose name tells us exactly what she's best at, leaps into character in this understated yet creatively nuanced reading that is both honest and entertaining. She understands just how to bring Cornwell's words to life and does so with great passion. A Putnam hardcover (reviewed online). (July)

November 04, 2009: This is the first Gossip Girl book i ever read,i just finished it yesterday.I have to say it was a real page turner,Couple teen issues such as first love,fitting in and body issues combined with the super rich teens of Upper East side,What do you get?A totally entertaining novel.It is really interesting because you get to read what happen before Gossip girl started,I felt bad for Serena because even though she loved Nate she couldn't be with him because Blair loved him too and Serena didn't want to hurt Blair.I would definitely read Gossip Girl again!

November 02, 2008:
In the prequel to the GOSSIP GIRL series, Blair, Serena, Nate, Jenny, Dan, Vanessa, and Chuck's nasty little secrets are exposed.
Why Serena left, what attracted Nate to Blair, and every detail about our favorite rich kids are told. And nothing is left to the imagination. How did Serena and Nate end up hooking up before Blair and Nate? Is Vanessa really in love with Dan? What other dirty little deeds has Chuck participated in? Is Jenny really as innocent as she seems? Why does Blair seem so psycho?
All of your burning questions are answered!
I really liked this book but it wasn't one in the series that I got addicted to. It was a good end to the series, though, even if I am disappointed to see it go. This is definitely one to read if you are a GOSSIP GIRL fan like I am!
