Customer Reviews

Just as addictive as Gossip Girl!
This series is just as addictive as the Gossip Girl series which is a real suprise to me as it doesn't have Blair or Serena in it, however there is an equally fabulous new cast of girls that Jenny from the GG books is trying to fit in with!
In this second book Tinsley has come back to the school after her expulsion has been changed and she really stirs things up, the book deals with the usual bitchy cliques but with some extra things like student/teacher relationships.
I love the OwlNet emails you get in the book, they give the series a Gossip Girl feel and I would defintiely recommend the series to fans of Gossip Girl who may feel slightly sceptical about, trust me, its just as jicy!

For all you aspiring It Girls
Jenny Humphrey is the somewhat plain yet undeniably likeable main character in this series of novels. She has joined ultra trendy Waverly Academy (boarding school) and is in a constant battle against the bitchy Tinsley Carmicheal to be the ultimate It-Girl. In this particular book, she also catches the eye of the hottest guy at Waverly - Easy Walsh! But he was Callie's boyfriend first and now everyone is calling Jenny a boyfriend-stealing slut!

This book is such an easy yet enjoyable read and the characters can often be related to people you know of personally. Tinsley Carmicheal reminded me of a certain Paris Hilton so if you like Paris and all her celebrity buddies plus a generous helping of bitching and backstabbing sprinkled with some flirting and partying, you will LOVE this series!

Delicious
An avid reader of the fabulous Gossip Girl series, I was sceptical about the It Girl. However, they are equally delicious! I attend boarding school and it is NOTHING like Waverly Academy, however, if it was, I would be ecstatic!! In Notorious, Jenny Humphrey continues with her desperate attempts to be the It Girl. The It Girl's characters are much more easily related to than the Gossip Girl characters, because the protagonist is continually critised for looking different to the other characters. (She is presumably gorgeous, however, but it is pleasant to hear that everyone is insecure and filled with self-doubt!) Many issues in this book are totally unbelievable, and the characters are slightly one-dimensional. It is still a great read - and perfect for those pointless weeks in school, after the exams!!

Also, read the latest Gossip Girl - it is gorgeous!!
