She really is. I suddenly wish I still had an icon of her.

They're typically written in the third person with the occasional two page interlude every four or five chapters or so showing updates on Gossip Girl's website where she writes in the first person since it's her blog. Each chapter follows one character's plotline and the main characters are Blair, Serena, Nate, Dan and Vanessa with the occasional foray into Jenny's doings - until she got her spin off, that is.
The series following the original set of characters is complete now that they've graduated high school but the author, Cecily Von Ziegesar continued the series with a new set of characters - the new one's called Gossip Girl: The Carlyles. However these books are written by a ghostwriter and the tone's changed as a result - the new ones have more morality and a bit more depth to them. I read the first one and I got the second but I'm not sure if I'll continue - the new characters don't appeal to me and it just isn't as entertaining anymore.
