Would I Lie to You (Gossip Girl #10)

Listen up, Laura and Meggie would NEVER lie to you, our dear listener and we have to be honest that this book was ROUGH and we can't wait to lament the tail of the weird series tone-shift to our audience. Let's get into it: the Summer continues for our gossip girl gang, with half the group going to the Hamptons, and Dan exploring his sexuality... You'll just have to press play to find out everything else.

Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Gossip Girl #8)

Graduation is fast approaching and Serena and Blair are once again not friends. But, love is in the air as Serena has decided to double down on her illicit affair and starts a relationship with Nate who is an emotional mess in this book. Vanessa on the other hand is living her best life editing her film and hanging with Aaron and Dan (hubba hubba). And Blair moves into a hotel and meets a hot British guy. Tune in as Meggie and Laura discuss it all!

Nobody Does It Better (Gossip Girl #7)

Nobody does Gossip Girl talk quite like Laura and Meggie so get ready for this! Blair and Nate are finally back together and finally doing the deed (and nonstop at that!). But will Nate blow it when he gets too high and steals his family's boat? Dan is biffing it hard as the lead singer of a famous rock band. And Jenny is really trying to be Serena 2.0. Serena is still in this series but she's boring and kind of a bad friend? All of this and more in the 7th Gossip Girl Book!

You're the One That I Want (Gossip Girl #6)

Some want money, some want fame, but right now most of our Gossip Girl gang just want to get into their top college picks. Apparently, this is easy for everyone but Blair who only gets into one school. Serena falls in love with every school she tours, Blair drunkenly joins a celibacy club, and Vanessa unfortunately takes Dan back and the two decide to play house. And all Meggie and Laura want is for you to have a good time listening to their thoughts on Gossip Girl!

I Like it Like That (Gossip Girl #5)

The things we like? Reading YA books, talking about them, and podcasting our little hearts out. It's springtime in the world of Gossip Girl and if there's one thing our cast of characters is worried about it's where they are going to spend spring break. Blair is desperate to lose her virginity and sets her sights on Serena's hunky older brother on their ski vacation, what could go wrong?

Did you miss us over the holidays? Meggie and Laura are ready to dive back into the world of the rich in Gossip Girl. Dan continues to be a top tier a*hole, but love is in the air as Serena starts dating Blair's step-brother, and Nate decides to get clean and ends up in a nightly rehab where he meets party girl Georginia -- ooh la la! Join us, won't you?

All I Want Is Everything (Gossip Girl #3)

This one really does have EVERYTHING! It's Christmastime in the big apple and everyone's paired off: Serena and Blair are besties, Nate and Jenny are exclusive, and Dan and Vanessa are being as cringey as ever. What else? Serena has a fling with a famous musician, Blair's step-brother is still into her (yeesh!), and Dan is way against sex and super into slut-shaming. Meggie and Laura break it all down and more on this week's YA, We Read It!

You Know You Love Me (Gossip Girl #2)

Did you miss us? Because we missed you! Laura and Meggie are back at their microphones to pick up right where they left off: the second Gossip Girl book.

Gossip Girl

Welcome to the 12th season of "YA, We Read It!" where for the next few weeks you'll be getting a deeply sophisticated and very rich deep dive into the world of "Gossip Girl" by Cecily Von Ziegesar (or so we hope!). Meggie and Laura are your elite guides for this trip down early-2000s lane and you won't want to miss it! Kicking off book one, the effortlessly beautiful Serena is back from boarding school only to find that the rest of her world carried on without her in it. Loneliness strikes as she tries to find her footing again, meanwhile her former bestie Blair is much too busy planning parties and time with her burrito-loving boyfriend Nate. It's 100% going to be a season to remember. Tune in, won't you? You know you love us (and we love you to!), L + M
