Don't You Forget About Me

The gang are off to college...and other places, and a lot of the storylines are wrapped up. Nate finally makes an actual decision! After maybe, possibly, suffering some actual consequences.
I was really not impressed with the whole Dan-might-be-gay subplot. It was really great how supportive his parents were of his "choice," but it was pretty obvious all along that Dan was not actually gay. What would have been a lot more interesting is more information about Chuck's transformation from a lecherous creep to a quirky monkey-daddy, to eventual self-realization and relationship with Greg. That might make for something more interesting than the drinking, shopping and bed-hopping that is the cornerstone of this series. I think the intended show more audience can handle it.
Despite this, though, the series is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. show less

Although at times interesting, Don’t You Forget About Me, features scenes in which the characters are oblivious to things that are clear to the reader. Also unless you have read the previous books, some of the characters first initials are unknown. That being said, the other characters, whom the story is actual about are faced with an interesting storyline that is relatable.

I'm glad I read this after I started college, rather than during the summer. If I had, it would have made me more depressed and afraid of starting anew, as these characters went through the same thing.

The ending was great, just let me say. Don't want to spoil anything, but one character made a GREAT decision.

I love this book. I was not happy with how it ended. I think that Nate needs to make up his mind on which of the girls he likes. I hate to say it but I am glad that there are going to be new people in this series.

Another okay gossip girl book. I liked this one better than the last one that I read because it tied the characters together more and finished up some loose ends. The character's summer is about to close in this book and they are all getting ready to head off to college and start their own lives and adventures. A fast, fun, quick read!

This book is pretty good becaus, it has up's and down's in it. Its's funny yet, sad, and little cocky. One minute this book will have you laughing and the next it will have you guessing or surprized.
