Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: I thought this book was absolutely fabulous. The characters were so perfectly real, and things definitly take an interesting turn from where they were going in the first book. If you haven't read this one, it's a must!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 24 year old reader
Review: This was such a good book. I think anyone under the age of 30 would enjoy it. It was just as good as the first gossip girl book and I can't wait until the [others] comes out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing! Couldn't put it down!
Review: This book has it all, sex, scandal, and spite. It's a little slow in the middle, but the end is really good. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the 3rd one!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FILLS A GREAT NICHE!
Review: This book filled a great niche in the reading genre. The rich spoiled girls and their college prep schools. But behind their stylish and luxurious lives, is scandal, lies, and deceit. I really enjoyed the overall theme for the book, but I am 17 and so the reading seemed a bit juvenile at times. It would fit the 13-15 year old readers best. But I wish their were some more books like this college-level!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is my foavorite book!!!! I was so excited when I heard their was another one. Gossip Girl has drama and tons of surprises. You cant put it down once you start to read it! Read it, I know you'll love it as much as I did!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: You Know You Love Me takes place right after Gossip Girl ends. It was an extremely good book and if any of you out there love shopping like me you'll love this book too. Basically what happens is Blair's mother is getting married to gross Cyrus Rose and we get introduced to Cyrus's son Aaron. Serena is becoming a little weirded out by Dan's over the top feelings and Dan is starting to realize that maybe Serena isn't the one. Jenny's getting involved with cute Nate and Blair seems to be falling out of love with Nate (of course she doesn't realize it until the very end). A great book narrated by an incredibly humorous omniscent character. We travel through college interviews and love and of course... BARNEYS!
;)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Guilty Pleasure
Review: I loved this book. It is absolutly a guilty pleasure. And funny too! I found myself laughing hysterically more than once. The only thing that disappointed me a little bit was that Isabel, Kati and Chuck Bass weren't really around in this one until the wedding. It's just as good as real gossip except you don't have to worry about pissing people off!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great series!
Review: This book picks up right where "Gossip Girl" left off. It fills you in on everything that you've been wondering about. What I loved best is how everything tied into itself, much to the dismay of the characters. The relationships and friendships and gossip shows a sarcastic view of teenage tendencies today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the first GG adventure!
Review: The title, You Know You Love Me, is most likely derived from the way Gossip Girl signs her web posts on her site, gossipgirl.net. All the fans know this!

Blair may be bitchy but she does have the most depth out of all the characters - and she is bright, unlike...

...Nate, who acts like an utter jerk at Mrs. Waldorf's wedding, the worst day of Blair's life, a time when she reallllly needs some support. He takes it up with Jenny Humphrey, a stalker freshman at Constance Billard, a prestigous all-girls school where she gawks at and aspires to be the kinds of girls Blair and Serena Van der Woodsen already are without any effort required on their parts. All Nate does is smoke weed and he expects to get into Brown because his interviewer convinced him to apply early action. So suddenly, right before the application date, he's completely diligent and absorbed with his school work. Nate is instantly drawn to Jenny because he feels he doesn't need to strive to impress her, which is the opposite of the state of his relationship with Blair.

Serena is no longer the leper she was in book one. Nope. Now she is officially cool again, despite the fact Blair hates her guts. Now that Serena is herself again, boys flock to her as if they have been beckoned. She is beautiful, graceful, and lithe, just like a delicate nymph. Still, she is the source of a lot of Blair Waldorf's anger and frustrations, especially with her constant nonchalant and carefree attitude. She too wants Brown admission. She too has mediocre grades. So she figures she'll win the film festival and show Brown she's something more. With Vanessa Abrahms, film lover and admirer of Dan, who once swooned over Serena (romantic triangle!!!), things work out in Serena's favor. Even if they didn't, you know she'd persevere. And if Brown doesn't want to accept her, "&@#$ it!" as her hot older brother and Brown enrollee, Erik, tells her.

Dan is pathetic. He writes poetry expressly for Serena, all about his "love" for her. Alas, Serena wants no more than friendship. Dan and Vanessa get together over his caffeine and nicotine fix, and suddenly, everything is peachy and Serena is old news. I love how GG's pressing issues are always solved, if not in the first, then usually by the next. Except for...

...Blair's Yale admission. It's her father's alma mater. Blair is gorgeous and has brains to boot. She could probably even do Harvard if she felt like it. But she only has eyes for Yale, which is a shame since she totally screwed up her interview. Of course, she can always blame her stepbrother, Aaron, being he had her in a cheesy motel room eating Chee-tos and chocolate bars and didn't wake up (and wake her up) until a half hour before the very interview began. Still, she can't blame Aaron for the fact she KISSED HER INTERVIEWER! ::ouch::

Aaron is laid back and Ivy League bound. The son of fat and rosacea-faced Cyrus Rose, his existence thrives on herbal cigarettes. He's a good character addition to the series and although Blair seems to loathe his existence at first, by the end of the book, she's coming around to being okay with him, in the tiniest way imaginable, that is.

Now for Mrs. Waldorf's wedding to homely Cyrus! Everyone has a part in it, whether it be a guest or a maid of honor, like Serena, Kati Farkas, and Isabel Coates. Everyone will be there, including the staff of Vogue magazine, to take pics for an upcoming issue. Blair seemingly at first has no support or a way to channel her teen angst and anguish over the fact her mother is marrying a rich nitwit. Rich, yet a nitwit nonetheless. Nate is no help, as he totally blows her off and then goes off to smooch with Jenny behind her back. Mrs. Waldorf herself is urging Blair Cornelia Waldorf to become Blair Cornelia Waldorf-Rose. Until Serena finds her amidst a hysterical sobbing fit, complete with mascara-laced tears, it seems as if Blair is destined for doom.

I love that Blair and Serena rekindle their friendship in Blair's time of need. You knew their reconciling was going to pop up sooner or later. Everything usually does go right in the world of Gossip Girl. :) Read this one. Von Ziegesar has her great and okay Gossip Girl books and I have yet to hate an installment of the series. This second book is one of the better novels!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great and addicting Gossip Girl novel!
