Appreciation for Gossip Girl #5

     I just finished reading the book Gossip Girl book #5. The book was about spring break and in this particular book I mostly read about people realizing very late in the book that the best thing they had they let go. Many characters in the book also noticed that they were in love with the wrong person or that they didn’t know enough about a person and they assumed that they were in love with that person.
     Blair thought that she was in love with Erik Serena’s older brother but what she didn’t know is that she was still in love with Nate. And that all she felt toward Erik was attraction. Nate also noticed that he was still in love Blair when he saw Georgie’s true colors. He saw a lot things that made him uncomfortable. He saw that she was wild and she was a free sprit and she wasn’t ready to settle down and actually be in a relationship. I really liked this because it showed that people sometimes make mistakes and let go of the person they love and find somebody new that makes them remember what they loved about the person they let go.
     In the book there was also jenny who thought she knew Leo but she didn’t. She thought that he was rich and that he lived in a palace. But when she realized that he was a boring person and that she didn’t want to spend time with someone who walked dogs and had old parents she found him unattractive. I didn’t really like this because it doesn’t matter who the person is or how they are we have to learn to accept them. If we love them we have to learn to like their defections.  
   In all I liked the book, but in some parts the author did the exact opposite of what I been taught, I been taught to love everybody and put asides their flaws and that we shouldn’t do things that will get me in trouble and especially not naked. What I did like was the part that the author makes the characters realize that they are in love with the person they let go and they don’t know how to get them back. I definitely learned a lot of positive and negative things from this book.

  1. I have read several of the Gossip Girl books and agree with you that although they have some good lessons, they often teach the wrong types of things. In a lot of the books Jenny is only thinking about whether or not people are rich to judge them. They can be very fun to read, but some of them aren't really quality books.
