The Carlyle triplets are back in the spotlight and shaking up Manhattan.
Baby's decided that Manhattan looks good right now, and that includes J.P. With that decision made, she has to worm her way back into the heart of Constance Billard. All she has to do is revive the school's art magazine. Will her bohemian ways match the artsy direction of the magazine and push her further away from the elite crowd?

Usually, this type of book is a quick read for when I'm bored.
This one, however, was different. There was something about it that made the characters seem easier to understand or like. In the original series, the characters were all the type who you love to hate. And sometimes the characters made me wince, but they weren't too perfect or inunderstandably popular. It was actually interesting and funny.

Out of The A-List, The Clique, and The It Girl series, the Gossip Girl series is my favorite one. Gossip Girl books are trashy, light reads that are my escape from series books that have the kind of messages that parents would approve of.
You Just Can't Get Enough is the second book in the Gossip Girl spin of series, The Carlyles. In the first book you where introduced to the main characters. Baby: the sweet one who does who own thing, Owen: the playboy, Avery: the girl who just wants More...

it was at the library. i had to at least SEE.
i was very annoyed because i could tell the book hadn't been written by cecily von zeigesar. everything seemed a little too forced.
the good (?) thing was that i like this group of kids better - at least, the main characters - except, really, you have a triplet named "baby"?? it's super annoying, i can't imagine how it is for the character. ugh. and while there are the typical balls and boy dramas and love triangles, the More...

I was a little worried about replacing Blair, Serena, and book!V with new characters, but with the reboot, the series actually brought in likeable characters. Unlike before, where I disliked most of the characters, I can at least feel bad for someone like Jack who is trying her best to be the biggest bitch around. Something is off somewhere though, because I dragged my feet for awhile. Maybe it's the fact that there are entirely too many Js going around and I keep thinking, "wait, why is J

It took me a long time to read this one. But not because it wasn't good, but for lack of reading time. I had been very busy these days :/
I must say I did liked it. I mean I know it's completely surreal (it's about extra-rich Upper East Side kids),
but it was entretaining and quick and I did finished it and when I was done I didn't thik my time was wasted.

While I don't really think this book is 4 or 5 stars good I really did enjoy it and have to say that I like this series much more than the original Gossip Girl books. The characters in The Carlyles books are similar in their Upper East side story lines but I just find the characters to be way more likable. I've often felt the characters in the original Gossip Girl books were pretty flat and after so many books it all just felt the same. The characters in this series seem more realistic even if

I like every GG book because of the characters and how they are., I was especially into Jack and Owen. I was super glad when they "hook" or pretended to date each other because that felt really adorable. I did not like him and Kelsey, she seems like a sl*ut, no offense because she was declaring her love for Rhs again only to cheat on him. I'd ADMIT I was pissed. However when Jack and J.P got back together yeah, darn it. Avery reminds me of Serena a lot and Baby does remind me of Blair

So this was fun. Predictable and full of clichés, but also fun and relaxing, just a book not to think about a lot. The characters are sort of likeable (more than in the first part of Gossip Girl), so that's also one of the reasons that keeps you reading, you kind of feel identified in some parts with their feelings. I especially love Baby (she's my favourite!), Jack and Avery -they're pretty well developed, round characters. Owen and Rhys are good, too. The ones we know least about are Kelsey an

The Carlyles are back and this time not giving up. Owen is trying o forget about kelsey, his love who is currently dating Rhys. Ever since Owen told her he was a one night stand guy, she thinks he is lying about his true love for her. Baby is still allowed to go to Constance,unfourtanely and met a cute spanish boy J.P. Things aren't going to well with avery either.

So, I don't know if this Annabelle Vestry person is actually writing these books or if this is just another "Kate William," but whoever is writing these sure highbrow'd up this one! I enjoyed references to yes, Vassar, but also concepts like heteronormativity and the male gaze. Honestly, do teens and tweens actually read these books? And if they do, weirdly, good for them. I hope they're looking up the longer words.

How can something so wrong.... be so much fun!
I was never interested in reading Gossip Girl, which is why I’ve never read the first series and I’ve never watched the television show. I’d actually like to watch the tv show, but for some reason my satellite doesn’t get that channel! Anyway... like I said I never had an interest to read the Gossip Girls series.

I'm not really a huge Gossip Girl fan because I noticed as the books went on I became less interested. However, with this new part of the series I've actually like the two novels so far. Truthfully, they are pretty shallow but I see them as a guilty pleasure. I actually think I like Avery the most in this series because she seems like the smartest and probably the character I can most relate to. A quick read that is pretty enjoyable.

Not sure I have anything specific to say. Just another mindless Gossip Girl book that I managed to power through in one day. I guess that's one good thing about these books; they're so light, you can just finish it quickly without letting it weigh you down (which is what happens with most books when I try to speed-read them). It's perfect for one of those days where you're lazy/don't want to do anything else.

Not a bad follow up book. I found this book seemed to explain the characters and the places a little better than the first book did. Outside of the triplets most of the characters are easily mixed up it seems because they seem to blur together. Some of it was kind of boring but for the most part it was a quick and okay read.

This is the second series of Gossip Girl, The Carlyles. I love this book because it has all teen problems, and other problems teens face when you are rich. i loved this book and can't wait for the next book! So many scandals, heartbreaks, and broken friendships. I love it!!!

Sex and the City for high school. A guilty pleasure. Not something I would generally encourage a young girl to read especially if they are immature and easily influenced. If they are secure young women I highly recommend this series.

I tried reading gossip girl before and I really didn't like it. I tried a second time (and I picked up this book), and I found it more interesting and the characters are tolerable.

it was ok but very boring and I don't really want to read any other of Carlyles books. "We are so fabulous but we're boring like hell". I expected more. Some characters were somewhat interesting, others - totally useless.

This book is horrible - it's an insult to your intelligence! Can I give it no stars? I had to read this for a young adult literature class, and I couldn't stand it. There is so much needless swearing, the characters are shallow and so self-involved. One of the characters is named Baby! Ugh. Don't bother. I read the first Gossip Girl when I was in high school, and I liked it then, and from what little I remember about it, it was better than this one. But, I'm not sure if I would still like the fi
