It Had to Be You

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I live in luxe Fifth Avenue apartments and attend Manhattan's most exclusive private schools. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, we wear fantastic clothes, and we know how to party. We can't help it-we were born this way.
Our story begins with three inseparable, completely gorgeous fifteen-year-olds, Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, and Nate Archibald. Blair's loved Nate and his glittering green eyes since she was in Bonpoint onesies. Too bad Nate wishes Blair's beautiful best friend, Serena, was the one with the crush. And Serena has a secret she's keeping from them both. Hmmm, something tells me these best friends may not be as close as we thought. . . .
How do I know all this? Because I know everything-and lucky for you, I can't keep a secret. So sit back while I untangle this messy little tale and tell you how it all began.
Admit it, you're already falling for me.
You know you love me.

I actually really loved this book. I liked reading the buds of what bloomed in the Gossip Girl series (which I am still working my way through, one out of order book at a time).
Because I was already familiar with the series, I had built some attachments to some of the characters. Blair is still my favorite, as difficult and complicated as she is. I feel like she's the most well-rounded and developed character, and I love reading her chapters.
I also like Jenny. Her innocence is preteen eagerness is so cool and kind of sad. She really does need a female figure in her life.
Anyway, the Gossip Girl books are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, but I enjoy them, and this prequel was fun to read.
I cared about this slightly less than the others. POSSIBLY because I read 12 books in like a week and a half. Possibly because I didn't really feel like I needed all the details of like, where Nate got that sweater he always wears.
