Critical Praise
"The book has the effect of gossip itself--once you enter, it's hard to extract yourself."
--Publisher's Weekly
"Deliciously catty and immediately engrossing, this is the ultimate beach read for teenage girls, offering them a titillating peek into the heady world of Manhattan's well-heeled teens...girls should find this lightweight novel spicy, entertaining, and their own trashy fun."
--Kirkus
"It's light, frothy and fun. If you enjoy gossip, dive into Gossip Girl."

The dirty deeds of these naughty rich kids make for great weekend reading...Why not indulge your urge? You know you want to read it."
