Nothing Can Keep Us Together

December 1, 2005
Gr. 10-12. This eighth Gossip Girls title will satisfy rabid fans of the series with a new round of scandals and exploits among the usual cast of gorgeous, wealthy teens, who amuse themselves in stylish Manhattan settings. In this installment, set during the teens' graduation from their exclusive high schools, sex and drugs figure more frankly into the plotlines, and a few sleazy teachers openly lust after students. Unapologetically lightweight and glamorous, and filled with snarky, humorous asides, this stays close to the series' best-selling formula, and the characters' questions about life after high school will draw even more teen interest.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
