1 Gossip Girl
Silver spoon? More like born with a full set of giant platinum spoons and bowls! Born beautiful and bountiful, the boys and girls featured in the Gossip Girl series by Cecily von Ziegesar rule the Upper East Side.
The most beautiful of them all is Serena van der Woodsen. She went to boarding school for a year but now she’s back! Constance Billard School for Girls is taking her in again. Her BFF Blair Waldorf, whom she left behind, took over the role of queen bee. Blair now rules the school with her posse Kati and Isabel.
Blair is finally ready to give “it” to Nate but it turns out Nate still likes Serena, having *gasp* lost his virginity with her (instead of Blair!). Of course, Nate can’t mislead Blair so he tells her the truth right when they’re about to do it. Sorry readers, no one gets laid in this first book.
Dan Humphrey does get to make a move on his childhood crush Serena. Serena, thanks to Blair’s manipulations and just plain bitchiness, manages to become a beautiful outcast. She goes to a bar with Vanessa Abrams, aspiring filmmaker in their senior class who wears all black and shaves her head. Dan manages to hook up with Serena that night in his heroic rescue of his kid sister Jenny from Chuck Bass‘ slimy perverted hands.
