Gossip Girl #1: A Novel by Cecily von Ziegesar
Poppy
October 1, 2003

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side where my friends and I live, and go to school, and play, and sleep- sometimes with each other. We all live in huge apartments with our own bedrooms and bathrooms and phone lines. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, we have fantastic clothes, and we know how to party…

Introducing Gossip Girl, a wickedly funny and risqué #1 New York Times bestselling series about the provocative lives of New York City's most prestigious private school young adults. Gossip Girl herself is an anonymous narrator with the ultimate insider scoop on the inner-workings of this privileged society because she's one of them. Sharp wit, intriguing characters, and high stakes melodrama drive the action of this addictive novel that will make Gossip Girl the lit world's new "it" girl.

In Gossip Girl, when the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen returns to private school after mysteriously getting kicked out of boarding school, the whole school is talking. All Blair Waldorf knows is that there's no freaking way Serena's going to just waltz back in with her Jimmy Choo mules and Kate Spade bag and steal everyone's heart again. But Serena's got other things on her mind, like college pressure and living up to everyone else's extreme expectations.

About the Author
Gossip Girl has always lived in New York City. She can be found in downtown hotel bars partying all night with her friends, shopping in Barney's, and talking about everyone. This is her first novel, although she's written lots of things about lots of people. Some of her best columns can be found at www.gossipgirl.com. She's already working on her next book, so be careful what you do or say and who you're seen with.
