Best friends, boyfriends, high school and haute couture - Gossip Girl has gone
from a guilty pleasure to becoming the show everyone is talking about, from
Rolling Stone to Vanity Fair, from gossip columnists to President Obama. From
its not-so-humble beginnings as a bestselling book series set in the posh
Upper East Side private schools of New York City, this show the Boston Herald
deemed "every parent's nightmare" has catapulted into the pop culture
stratosphere. In the first two seasons Gossip Girl has proved itself a popular
and critical darling, influencing the culture it critiques and setting trends
while providing biting social commentary on this generation of entitled, tech-
savvy youth. In Spotted: Your One and Only Unofficial Guide to Gossip Girl,
you'll find: * an episode-by-episode exploration of seasons 1 and 2, tracing
the development of the characters and storylines * bios of the cast and the
show's creators, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage * comparisons to the
show's teen soap and literary predecessors, including how the Gossip Girl
books were adapted * summaries of the movies that inspire each episode's title
* sidebars of fun trivia * all the details on the music, the fashion, and the
NYC locations where Gossip Girl films (complete with exclusive photos!) Chuck
Bass. (And he's wearing purple.) Second only to a Blair Waldorf-inspired hair
band, Spotted is the must-have accessory for any fan who says, "Not enough!"
when the end credits roll.
