Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily von Ziegesar
3.0
The eleventh novel in the Gossip Girl series. Summer is winding down, and everyone is moving on. Blair, Nate, and Serena are scheduled to be going to Yale, Dan to Evergreen, and Vanessa to NYU. Only a love triangle stops some from their hopes and dreams. Nate is unsure what he really wants, both with the girls, and in life, Serena finds herself backing away from Yale to become a movie star, but Blair truly knows she wants, and that’s Yale- no matter what. Dan has a gay period, which turns out he really just loves Vanessa. This novel was filled with its douse of drama, but it feels like these characters are never going to grow up, and actually go to college. Ever since the first novel they have been dreaming and trying to get to these schools, it would be great to get them there. The plotlines are a little old, but some really seemed to work, and enhanced the overall story. New characters have been mentioned, and hopefully will be introduced. Old characters were brought back, like Jenny, and it was a nice tie in. Overall, it was an entertaining novel; it would just be better if plots weren’t always the same.
