From Booklist

Gr. 10-12. The latest in the Gossip Girls series picks up right after high-school graduation and centers on a movie set. When Breakfast at Fred's, a contemporary take on Breakfast at Tiffany's, starts filming in Manhattan, many of the Gossip Girls join the cast and crew. The bitchy asides, heavy product placement, class snobbery, and social intrigues continue, and while pot and booze is ubiquitous, the sex is more fantasized than real. Once again the characters' insecurities, failures, and triumphs will draw readers as much as the froth, flirting, and glamour. Gillian Engberg

Product Description

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where the girls are dazzling, the guys are gorgeous, and the summer heat is the perfect excuse to throw a fabulous roof-deck pool party. As if we need a reason! It's our last summer together before heading off to college, and things are sizzling - no, it's not just the weather. Despite that steamy kiss on graduation night, Blair, Serena, and Nate have gone their separate ways...though not for long. Blair is off to London with her English Lord boyfriend, Serena's about to become a movie star - as if she wasn't a star already! - and Nate's rolling up his well-worn khakis and heading to the Hamptons. Back in New York, Dan and Vanessa are rekindling their love. Fiery! Watch out, this summer is going to be hotter than ever. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are as addicted as I am, don't miss this latest addition..., May 9, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Catty, wicked, frivolous and decadent, our beloved characters are back, fresh out of high school and entertaining themselves in all the ways we'd expect.

Serena is trying her hand at becoming a movie star, but isn't having as much luck wooing the male lead as she had hoped. Vanessa is on the set as well - "selling out" to Hollywood so she can pay her rent! Dan finds some extracurricular activities of his own, and Nate is found in the Hamptons, slumming it with some townie chick while he works on his Coach's house. What will our A-list ladies think of Nate's Target-dressing, fake-bag wearing, working class girl?

Then Blair - she begins in London, shopping it up to console herself that her Lord whatshisname seems to have the hots for his cousin. Forgetting about the exchange rate, she gets in a bit more trouble than she'd meant to, and when she arrives home to New York is told very firmly to get a job to learn some monetary responsibility. Trust Blair to make the best of this and get the job every gal in New York wants.

This latest addition is as good as the rest - perhaps even better, since the characters are all maturing a bit and having more interesting adventures out of high school. If you have liked the other books in this series (do read them in order!), you'll love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable Book!, April 30, 2006
By N. Hoang (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The ninth installment of the Gossip Girls series was quite an enjoyable read. I'm almost a graduating senior myself, so I can relate to everything that's happened to Blair and the gang.

Blair spends the beginning of her summer in the UK with the gorgeous Lord Marcus. When things turn awry, she turns to her American Express black card to solve her problems. It's too bad she forgot about the dollar-to-pound exchange rate!

Serena is filming Breakfast at Fred's with director Ken Mogul, a major sell-out. Her gorgeous on-screen co-star seems to captivate her eye (as per usual). Will anything become of it? (Can anyone really deny themselves the pleasure of Serena van der Woodsen?) The one thing she seems to not excel at seems to be her new job. The stress causes her to chain smoke French Gaulloise cigarettes. Will Blair (expert at all things Audrey Hepburn) come to her rescue? Better hope they're friends at this point in time.

Nate is in the less glamorous section of the Hamptons working on his coach's summer house while his friends are smoking pot near his family's East Hampton place.

Overall, I enjoyed the book immensely and I hope if you're reading this you consider buying it. I tried not to give out too much information, as spoilers aren't as fabulous as they seem. Blair Waldorf, however, is.

4.0 out of 5 stars More believable than the last installment, May 15, 2006
By Marissa (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
Von Ziegesar redeemed herself a bit with this 9th gossip girl book. Number 8, "Nothing can keep us together" was terrible-- too outrageous, too unrealistic. This 9th book was more believable, and so much more enjoyable. Blair is still fierce, vicious, and leading a messed-up life. Things fall into place a little better for her in this book, towards the end. Perhaps her life can be a little less messed-up from now on, let's hope. I feel too sorry for her! She goes to London in the beginning of this book and buys herself a GBP 10,000 wedding dress impulsively when Lord Marcus starts ignoring her and hanging out with his "horsey" cousin Camilla. She then gets fed up of it all and flies back to NYC on a one-way, USD 4,000 first class flight on Virgin air. When she gets home, her mom tells her to find a job so she gets one-- working in fashion on the set of the movie Serena is shooting on-- Breakfast at Fred's. I was hoping, since Serena is SUCH a bad actress who wouldnt nail the Audrey role, that Blair would step in and star in the movie instead, but no such luck. Blair instead helps Serena get into the character of Audrey and saves her from a disaster movie debut. I feel for Blair since she's always getting the limelight stolen by that ditzy Serena for whom everything seems to fall so easily for. But at the end of the book, she gets over Lord Marcus and enjoys her time back in NYC- partying in Audrey Hepburn's original apartment for Breakfast at Tiffany's. Her character is as fiesty as usual- but she has no real interaction with Nate in this book-- but there are hints that in the next one-- N, S, and B are all going to be living near each other for the rest of the summer!!! The next book is going to come out in Oct 2006. It seems like the author is trying to milk the series for all that it is worth before she might have to drop it before N, S, and B go off to Yale. BUT I think a series with them at their respective colleges could work!!! Blair would rule, Serena would struggle but come up shining, and Nate would grow up and mature but still really love Blair. Fun, fun, fun.
