Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I live, play and sleep-sometimes with each other. Enter the scandalous world of Gossip Girl: a world where everyone is gorgeous, everything is fabulous, and jealousy and betrayal are everywhere you look.

The book that inspired the TV show! After leaving boarding school, Serena van der Woodsen is back on the Upper East Side with her best friend Blair Waldorf and Blair's boyfriend, Nate. Everyone is watching and whispering about what will happen next...

Book 1: Gossip Girl After getting mysteriously kicked out of boarding school, Serena van der Woodsen is back where she belongs-Manhattan's Upper East Side, where the posh townhouses, designer clothes and exclusive parties are almost as fabulous as she is. All eyes are on Serena, but will her former best friend Blair Waldorf be willing to share the spotlight?

Book 2: You Know You Love Me It's Blair's seventeenth birthday, and she knows exactly what she wants-her boyfriend Nate Archibald all to herself. Too bad Blair's been too busy filling out Ivy League college applications to notice that Nate may not be a one-girl guy.

Book 3: All I Want Is Everything Blair and Serena are back to being BFFs and they're off to St. Bart's for some Christmas-time fun in the sun. With a romantic rock star and a cute stepbrother in tow, it's going to be one sizzling week-on and off the beach!

Book 4: Because I'm Worth It It's fashion week and the only place crazier than the fashion shows are the wild parties. Will Serena's sudden catwalk stardom make her new boyfriend seem totally last season?

Book 5: I Like it Like That It's spring break and the whole crew is heading to Sun Valley for some apr�s-ski hot tub fun. With Nate playing knight-in-shining-armor to his crazy new girlfriend, Georgie, and Blair batting her eyelashes at Serena's brother Erik, the nights will be hot enough to stave off the mountain cold.

Book 6: You're the One That I Want Mailboxes all over the Upper East Side are piling up with overstuffed envelopes from the Ivy League. Will who-got-in-where distract people from the more important question: who's-hooking-up-with-who?

Book 7: Nobody Does it Better Spring is here and everyone is getting out of the house-and into the Plaza. Serena and Jenny are partying in the penthouse with New York's hippest band, The Raves, while Blair's taken up residence to get some alone time with Nate. And if posh hotel suites aren't plush enough, there's always Senior Spa Day!

Book 8: Nothing Can Keep Us Together When Blair and Serena go head-to-head for the starring role in a major Hollywood movie, there's sure to be some drama worthy of the silver screen.

Book 9: Only in Your Dreams It's the last summer before college, and love is in the air. Blair's off to London with her new British boyfriend-who's an awful lot like Nate. Nate's smooching beach babe Tawny-who's basically the anti-Blair. And Serena is half of Hollywood's hot new pairing-as if she wasn't smoldering on her own!

Book 10: Would I Lie To You Serena and Blair head to the Hamptons to be resident co-muses to the super-famous designer Bailey Winter, who just happens to live next door to Nate's beachside estate. So just how neighborly will these new neighbors get?

Book 11: Don't You Forget About Me The countdown to college has officially begun! In just ten days Blair, Serena, Nate, Vanessa and Dan leave the Upper East Side. The countdown means three things: scandalous end-of-summer parties, now-or-never kisses, and one heartbreaking goodbye.

Book: It Had To Be You: The Gossip Girl Prequel Gossip Girl takes us back in time, to the year before Serena left for boarding school, to find out why she left and how it all began.
