5.0 out of 5 stars
great characters, October 26, 2008
This review is from: Gossip Girl, The Carlyles #2: You Just Can't Get Enough (Gossip Girl Novels) (Paperback)
Much to my surprise the triplets are a refreshing change from the original characters---don't get me wrong the originals are fabulous and I too wonder what it would be like to follow them to college. Having said that I find an increased sense of humor in some of the descriptions of the never ending adventures and details to the brand of Manhattan and of the powers that be in the Constance Billard School. The episodes of the triplets are great and I can't wait for more.

YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH (GOSSIP GIRL THE CARLYLES)
Created by CECILY VON ZIEGESAR
Written by Annabelle Vestry
Contemporary YA
Rating: 4 Enchantments
It doesn't seem like the Carlyle triplets Avery, Owen and Baby have only been in Manhattan for only a week. They haven't even begun to make their mark despite the party that managed to get the cops called and Avery taken to the police station. But not everything is smooth sailing for the triplets, Baby's trying to get back in the good books at Constance Billard, Avery's already got one frenemy in Jack, and Owen's trying to get over Kelsey, who just happens to be the ex-girlfriend of one of his good friends from the swim team. What will happen if Rhys finds out that Owen's the real reason Kelsey broke up with him?
The Carlyles are a great addition to the Gossip Girl series. I have to say I'm partial to Owen and Baby. Jack's the perfect bad girl, out to oust Avery from her inner circle of friends but with Avery knowing the truth about her financial situation, Jack is practically being blackmailed till the truth comes out and then Jack is hopeful it'll send Avery out of Constance Billard, out of Manhattan and straight out of New York. I loved Owen having to struggle with the fact he's interested in Kelsey, but knowing Rhys is still into her as well. The swim team scenes with Owen and Rhys are actually some of my favorite in the book.
Fans of the Gossip Girl series won't go wrong picking this one up.
Look for the Gossip Girl: The Carlyles #3 `Take a Chance on Me' out in May 2009. Read the first chapter of YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH here: http://www.pickapoppy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/GGC2Chap1.pdf

Disappointed..., December 19, 2008
This review is from: Gossip Girl, The Carlyles #2: You Just Can't Get Enough (Gossip Girl Novels) (Paperback)
it was alright. i loved the original gossip girl and the new series is not that great. it feels more of the same of the original but worse. usually i finish the books in one day and wanting more but with this book it took a while to finish and skimmed over some things. the book is good but not as good as what i anticipated
