Gossip Girl: I Will Always Love You: A Gossip Girl novel (Gossip Girl, 12) Paperback – November 23, 2010

This book had everything you could possible ask from a gossip girl book. But is cut deeper this time and the characters were more grown up.

The product arrived in good condition. It was given as a gift to my sister who enjoys reading. I have watched the show and I like the show. But I couldn’t say how well the two match up in content.

The book is actually a quick read and it covered all 4 years of Christmas breaks from college when all the teens came home. It was entertaining and I was excited to have the original characters back. We see that in some ways they can grow up and yet somehow the moment you throw them back together everything reverts back to the way it used to be.While remaining faithful to the characters, I do believe von Ziegesar borrowed a few things from the TV series -which I personally enjoyed and I think it put the characters in a new light. Easily my favorite of the bunch.The ending was oddly bittersweet and reminiscent of the importance of friendship.

My teenage daughter reads this series. It is a typical teenage book....not high quality writing, but entertaining nonetheless. Easy reading level.

I have read all the Gossip Girl books and was desperately waiting for this book to come out so I could finally find out who Nate picked: Serena or Nate.Well that didn't happen. The book starts out with them all coming home for their first Christmas break and Nate and Blair get back together, but then Serena comes in to the picture and makes things complicated, so Nate and Blair break up AGAIN.Then in section 2 of the book they come home for their second Christmas break and Serena and Nate get together, but of course, Nate decides that he still loves Blair. So Serena and Nate break up but Blair decides that she doesn't want Nate anymore (but really she does)Then in section 3 of the book they come home for their 3rd Christmas break and it gets really confusing. Blair and Chuck are together, Serena and Dan are back together, and Jenny and Nate are back together.Then in the final section of the book, Blair and Chuck break up, Serena and Dan break up, and Jenny and Nate break up. The final scene in the book is Nate texting Serena and Blair and you think that he is finally going to make a decision but then Serena and Blair leave Nate and decide to go to Europe together.I liked this book a lot but I felt like it was the same story line that we have been reading in the last 11 books. I wanted Nate to finally pick somebody, but instead it ended like all the other books in the series.I would recommend reading this book but don't expect any kind of closure because there isn't any.The last two pages of the book made it seem like there was going to be another book so maybe they are trying to drag out the Serena, Blair, and Nate story line for a couple more books.

I read all the books in this series and I couldn't ever put them down. Great books for young adults!

Great book series, easy read, keeps tweens ingaged. Would recommend the series. My daughter loves the books better than the tv series (I do to).

Interesting 'conclusion' to the series so far, but it was left open for possibly more to be written about these characters.
