Product Description
Blair, Serena, Nate, Dan, and Vanessa went off to live their lives.
Now they're coming home for the holidays.
A lot can change in a few months . . . but some things never do.
It finally happened: we went to college. We started over. No one knows who we've coveted, what we scored on the SATs,where our parents live, or when we became debaucherous. We've learned new things, made new friends, and maybe even met the loves of our lives. We've changed.
Or at least, some of us have. But old habits are hard to break-especially when faced with your former besties and former flames. With everyone back in the city for the holidays, this break is guaranteed to be filled with makeups, breakups, and shakeups.
Lucky for you, I'm here to report all the scandal as it happens. Let the games begin!
You know you love me,
xoxo Gossip Girl

A 5 star read!, Nov 7 2009
By Cynthia Dixon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gossip Girl: I Will Always Love You: A Gossip Girl novel (Hardcover)
As a reader interested in YA books I highly recommend this latest Gossip Girl; our favorite characters finish college while Jenny is just beginning. The book is actually a quick read (even at 387 pages--covering 4 years of Christmas breaks from college) Each chapter is a surprise and shows a sense of freshness and insight. It is a clever read describing our favorite characters' roller coaster ride of emotions and the magic of pulling it all together.The wrap up was fantastic showing life goes on in unexpected ways! I loved the writing and the story.

I like this book, but..., Dec 21 2009

This review is from: Gossip Girl: I Will Always Love You: A Gossip Girl novel (Hardcover)
If you, like me, were disappointed that the tv show so immediately departed from the plotlines for the books, you'll be happy to see this book on the shelves. The characters from the books are so much more likeable than their television counterparts.That said, I'm on the fence about this book. I greatly enjoyed revisiting Serena and Blair and Nate and Dan and Vanessa's lives, but must their group continue to be so incestuous? Several years out of high school, and Blair and Serena both are still making major life decisions based on Nate's whims? I wanted them to move on, faster.
Still, I picked up this book to get closure on some of my favorite characters, and to that end the book succeeds grandly. I like the way it careens through their college careers, focusing on the times when they come together and giving us an overview of the times they were apart.

Stick to the original books instead, Oct 11 2011
By Tez Miller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gossip Girl: I Will Always Love You: A Gossip Girl novel (Paperback)
If the cover says "created by", that means that person didn't actually write it. eg Sweet Valley High was "created by" Francine Pascal, but was actually written by "Kate William", aka Eileen Goudge.The Gossip Girl series ended perfectly with DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. Cecily von Ziegesar wrote it, and had done a smashing job with the series. The books are trashy, but also funny, smart and satirical. They're awesome! But Ms. von Ziegesar wisely chose not to flog a dead horse, but the folks at Alloy Entertainment thought otherwise. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU feels contrived, repetitive, and none of the characters have any spark - not even our beloved douchebag, Chuck Bass. He's a highlight of the series, a secondary character at most but he steals every scene he's in. But here, the people at Alloy Entertainment have completely changed his personality. Where's the fun in that?
There's no sense of humour here. Nate Archibald switches between Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, and Jenny Humphrey. Serena may or may not have something going on with Dan Humphrey. Vanessa Abrams is sometimes with Dan, and sometimes with a filmmaker. Blair almost becomes engaged, but blows him off because she's still in love with Nate, even when she moves on to Chuck. Jenny switches between Blair's little brother and Nate.
In other words, there's a lot of relationship drama but no wit. I read a library copy of I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, because I sure wouldn't have paid for this. Forget this, forget the spin-off series (The It Girl and Gossip Girl: The Carlyles), and just stick with the original and the best Gossip Girl novels. Make sure they're not just "created by" Cecily von Ziegesar, but that she actually wrote them - you're guaranteed a good time.
