Overview: Jenny Humphrey, formal Gossip Girl character has been kicked out of her private NYC high school Constance Billard for rumors Jenny isn't exactly denying. However, Jenny decides this is a time for a new Jenny; a fresh start. And what's a more glamorous start then at boarding school? Soon, she gets into Waverly Academy where everything seems a little more sophistacated, a little more pretty, and a little more cool. However, it seems like gossip is spreading around like wild fire; and they're all about Jenny's past. Soon, she finds herself in trouble with her secret crush Easy and new roomie Callie, and risks being expelled. Brett, their other roomie, is dating their new teacher. Plus, many students are getting ponied. While drama the drama unfolds, we get to watch. And we are loving it.
My Thoughts: The book had the feel of Gossip Girl but the essence of Private. I have a thing for boarding school books because the concept is so delicious! Also, I loooved the owl-net convos between Waverly students. I ate up all the romantic tension between Easy and Jenny, I wanted them to end up together so bad! But I guess that is why they make sequels:D So basically, this was one of the best novels I've read this summer, and you can see the list of them on the reviews page. It was perhaps THE best.

Overview: Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna have one thing in common: their super cool best friend Alison. Their bond, as Alison had said, would be forever held by each others' secrets. But then, Alison goes missing, and the girls are left with an even bigger secret to hide.
Spencer: An overachiever at everything she does, falls in love with her perfect sister's boyfriend.
Aria: After moving back to Rosewood from Iceland, falls in love with her English teacher and battles the haunting thoughts of her father's infadelity.
Emily: A swimmer that questions her sexuality after hanging out with her new lesbian neighbor, Maya.
Hanna: A beautiful girl with an eating disorder, keeps getting herself in trouble with the police.
These girls have secrets. And A knows them. And she's still watching.
My Thoughts: The book was definietly different from most I've read recently. It tackled almost every possible secret a teenage girl could have. I was stunned by Emily's urge to switch teams, and the way Spencer's family reacted when they found out she was with Wren. I loved every minute of it. And I was dying to find out who A is! This is soooo a series I am going to continue. It was beyond interesting, you should deff read it!

Very unlike her rich and fabulous characters, Cecily Von Ziegesar is very down to earth. As it shows in the interview, she is clever in her writing and very attached to her peices. I praise Cecily V Ziegesar for all her work!(: Expect a review for Cecily's 'The it Girl' in the near future!
Overview: Halley and Scarlet are best friends, and have been since they were eleven years old. Halley could always could count on Scar for anything; until Scarlet's boyfriend dies in a motorcycling accident, sending them both into shock. Now, Scarlet is the one who needs to lean on her best friend. When Halley gets a call from Scarlet at sisterhood camp, she knows this is serious. After getting back to Halley's home town to see Scarlet, the book takes off into an emotional rollercoaster.
My Thoughts: I found the book to be quite pleasing; Halley and Scarlet are wonderful characters and very hard not to like. I thought the book was very realistic and fasinating. The crazy home life Scarlet survived in and the odd relashionship between Halley and her mother was somewhat addictive. I loved it, and would suggest it to anyone who would read it.
Three stars: ***
