Blair, Serena, and their cronies are up to their old
tricks, fitting backstabbing and gossiping into a heavy schedule of
wild parties, glamorous vacations, and schoolwork. These teens are
privileged, upper-class Manhattanites, so money is no object. Sex,
drugs, and drinking are the norm, and all of their comings and
goings are faithfully recorded and reported by the mysterious
Gossip Girl on her Web site. In between school and shopping, they
infect all of Manhattan with cattiness and sex
內容簡介:
The “Gossip Girl” series revolves around the lives and
romances amongst the privileged teenagers at the Constance Billard
School for Girls, an elite private school in New York City''s Upper
East Side. The series primarily focuses on Blair Waldorf and her
best friend, "it girl" Serena van der Woodsen, and follows the
characters through their high school lives up through their
graduation and moving on to college.
"Lovely Rita, Meter Maid" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" are
as much part of popular mythology as "Little Dorrit" or "Macbeth".
Strawberry fields, fool-topped hills and long and winding roads are
all part of a collective subconscious stretching from New York to
New Delhi. This book tells the story behind every one of The
Beatles'' songs. Who was Eleanor Rigby, and was Polythene Pam a
figment of John Lennon''s imagination or a real flesh-and-blood
person? What stories and emotions influenced them and how do they
reflect the development of The Beatles'' distinctive musical
style?

throughout 2003 with a high profile, energetic and suitably
cutting-edge marketing campaign. This deliciously catty and
engrossing series will be the spicy vanguard for Bloomsbury pushing
