Gossip Girl: Because I’m Worth It
by Naomi Wolf
No recommendation
Set the in the month of February
The life of high school girls in New York City is full of gossip, top name designers, afternoons in trendy stores, time with boys (sometimes sex), sometimes smoking cigarettes, sometimes marijuana. Parents are rarely present. Academics don’t seem important but the boys and girls are interested in going to Yale or Harvard. Community college is beneath this crew. One boy is busted buying pot in Central Pot and goes to rehab. Blair is obsessed with a 38 yr old coworker of her father’s and thinks impressing him will be a connection to the ivy league-turns out it is her classmates dad… Blair just cut her hair short is now an Audrey Hepburn look-alike. Serena is gorgeous and just asked to be a model in Fashion Week. Negatives: sex, smoking, marijuana, cutting class, shopping for top brand names, unfaithful in relationships, disrespect for parents.

*Not much literary value.
