Book Reviews of Gossip Girl: It Had To Be You: The Gossip Girl Prequel (Gossip Girl Novels)

Book Review: Teenage geometry
Summary: 5 Stars

First the triangle - Blair, Nate and Serena had been friends their entire lives - from their first days in their exclusive preschool through their years at their even more exclusive prep schools, the trio had spent their privileged childhoods in the rarefied world of the super rich of New York (and assorted holiday retreats). Now at fifteen the three were poised to become two plus one, but which two and which one? Blair had had a crush on Nate ever since she could remember, and now that her family was falling to pieces she needed her friends more than ever. Nate had recently discovered that Serena haunted his dreams, dreams that were of a distinctly adult nature and definitely tied to his quest to lose his virginity. Serena had also noticed that Nate was no longer just her best guy pal but had become an extremely good looking young man. Their all too perfect privileged young lives were changing, the question was whether the changes were for the better or worse.

Then the overlapping circles on the periphery of their world (and the world did belong to them, everyone else just got to play in it) Dan and his little sister Jenny worshiped the perfect Serena from afar, or at least from the shabby bohemian apartment they shared with their eccentric father, where twelve year old Jenny was waiting for the 'girls' to grow and Dan was himself worshiped by Vanessa, the free spirit from Vermont who had recently arrived on the scene. And on the extreme edges of all the teens' lives were the random points - their parents, drugged, divorced, disinterested and distant all more interested in their own lives than their children.

This prequel to the popular Gossip Girl series tells the backstories of the privileged New York teens, of what set up the dynamics of these teenage Sex and the City books. Like the rest of the books this comes under the heading of guilty pleasure - like the chocolates hidden in drawer to be indulged in during a boring diet.

Summary of Gossip Girl: It Had To Be You: The Gossip Girl Prequel (Gossip Girl Novels)

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.
