The #1 New York Times bestselling series returns with a fresh new cover in time for the highly anticipated HBO MAX series reboot.

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're smart, we've inherited classic good looks and we know how to party. It's a luxe life, but someone's got to live it.

The first in the established and well-loved Gossip Girl series about the most popular high school crowd. Set in glamorous New York City, the narrative takes a voyeuristic look into the troubled, raw and indulgent lives of Upper East Side's finest.

Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar is as addictive as the gossip it portrays, making it hard for readers to step away once they begin. While the TV adaptation has its own charm, the original book offers an enjoyable and enticing experience with its irresistible blend of drama and clever satire.
