The gossip girl prequel: it had to be you

I am now on page 377 of the prequel to the gossip girl series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. This book is everything that happened to the characters in 9th and 10th grade, before the books started. Throughout this series, there is one girl named "gossip girl" that has a blog site and writes about what's going on in the character's lives. The catch is that she never reveals her true identity so during the book, the people are also trying to find out who this is and how she knows everything about everyone. I can definately relate to this book because its boys and girls that are my age, just going into high school. But other than that, their lives are completely different. They live the high life with rich families and packed weekend schedules, almost like they're famous. Overall, this series is a very fun and detailed image of what it's like to live on he upper east side of New York City.
