About the author
Cecily von Ziegesar
105 books2,970 followersCecily von Ziegesar is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gossip Girl novels, upon which the hit television show is based.
Cecily von Ziegesar was born in New York City. Her childhood dream was to grow up to be a ballerina; she began lessons at age 3 and auditioned for the School of American Ballet at age 8, but was rejected.
As a teenager, von Ziegesar commuted to Manhattan at 6 a.m. to attend the Nightingale-Bamford School. After graduating from Nightingale, von Ziegesar attended Colby College before spending a year in Budapest working for a local radio station.
Von Ziegesar returned to the United States to study creative writing at the University of Arizona, but dropped out shortly thereafter.
Back in New York, while working at book-packaging firm Alloy Entertainment, von Ziegesar became inspired to create the Gossip Girl series, which follows the lives of privileged teenagers in New York. The series climbed to the top of The New York Times best-sellers list in 2002. A spin-off series, The It Girl, made the list in 2005.
The Constance Billard School for Girls in Gossip Girl is based upon an exaggerated version of von Ziegesar's alma mater, Nightingale. She also culled events from the book from the lives of her extremely wealthy friends, as well as her own life as a perpetual gossip.
She lives in Brooklyn, New York with her family.

I liked this one even more than the first. It had some great funny moments, some actually kind of relatable moments, and I liked getting to know the characters more. At this point, it feels really different from the show so I'm enjoying the new stories.

I should have read this series before watching the show. I would have enjoyed it so much more if I had.

Absolute glutton for punishment here. These are such atrocious books it's honestly comical at this point. I actually found the TV show incredibly interesting (judge me) but the books are basura. Just download whatever streaming service currently has the series from like 2000-something and indulge in the frivolity; it's much more enjoyable than these reads!
