The Waverly Academy girls are not feelin' the love. They are all in a frenzy. Love is in the air. Valentine's Day is just around the corner but all their relationships are going haywire. What is a girl to do with so many cute boys milling about and new ones shipped every year to keep things interesting? How could one anchor one in and keep it from flying a More...

A great ending to a great series. I'm so sad to see the It Girl done but also kind of glad it wasn't spread out so much like Private or something. I first read the It Girl in 7th grade and stopped after that then took up the series after it had ended.

It's Valentine's Day at Waverly and the school goes all out on the celebration with events for the whole week and Perfect Match, which drives some people (Brett) crazy and others joyful. Callie has to decide between Brandon and Easy, Jen More...

I'm actually sad this is the last book out of the series. The last pages were kind of hard to finish, because I didn't want to finish the book but I force myself too. It was kind like losing a friend, a rich-fabulous-trashy friend of course.

The book starts out with Easy Walsh(surprisingly) because it always starts out with Jenny. The book is probably the best in my opinion out of the series. I did feel bad for Brandon and I still find Callie annoying, it made me said make your mind? More...

Oh no it's over! Through this whole challenge I have made my way through this 10 book series (THANK YOU uncommon letter :) ), and now I'm finally done. These books are all light, teen lit, without much substance too them, but I still found them enjoyable. The only carry over characters from the original Gossip Girl series are Jenny and her family (Rufus and Dan). I don't know why I still like reading about people in high school, but I do... maybe it is because they remind me more of people/mysel More...

Jenny rated it: 4 of 5 stars
Classic is the tenth and final novel in the It Girl series, and is a great end to what is definitely one of my all-time favourite series. There's all the usual drama I've become accustomed to, as well as brilliantly funny dialogue (Heath Ferro should be immortalised forever), new scandals and a look at the many Waverly relationships.

Classic sees Jenny Humphrey's last semester of her first year at Waverly, and as usual nothing runs smoothly. Valentine's Day brings brings with a whole More...

Things I hated about this book:
1. The constant rehashing, ala Babysitters Club. If I picked up book #10, clearly I read the series, move on!
2. The 80s like (American Psycho style designer dropping
3. The usage of every supporting characters' last names...there is only one Lon in the book, no last name required
4. The unrealistic lack of adults
5. A damn epilogue!
6. The neat and clean exits that literally ended with kisses
7. That Jenny didn't get her man all More...

A fond and well-wrought farewell to this sweet, warm-hearted series filled with fun and lovable characters. Everyone ended up roughly where they should be, which is to be expected, since the series is ending but the characters still have a couple more years at Waverly ahead of them. The Jenny Humphrey of the books is so completely different to that exskanktioned airhead of the GG tv show that the two are similar in name only. The real Jenny is a charming, winsome heroine who has allied hersel More...

It is going to be so, so, so hard for me to write a spoiler-free review of this book, but I feel I must -- I've been way too indulgent in that regard lately. Suffice to say, this book was a mixed bag for me, but one huge con was one single misstep that generates a lack of continuity with the Gossip Girl series and sacrifices (for me at least) a lot of the believability of that otherwise relatively seamless fictive world.

Come on, Alloy, can't you do better than that?!?! I mean, back More...

It's Valentine's Day at Waverly and the school is going all out for the celebration with events planned for all week and Perfect Match, which is driving some crazy and making others happy.
Brett is having trouble dealing with all the attention that Isla is paying to Sebastian, Callie has to decide between Brandon and Easy, Jenny must come to realise the truth about Isaac, Tinsley is jealous of Isla's sudden popularity and enlists Brett to help with her plan to take her down.

Be prepared, readers. CLASSIC, the tenth IT GIRL novel, is the final chapter in the series, according to the back of the book.

Jan Plan is ending and the gang at Waverly is finally coming off probation. After the crazy party that went totally awry at the Dean's house in the last novel, the students have basically been on house arrest with little contact between the sexes. The school term is just about to begin, and Valentine's Day is More...

Ah, the end of the Gossip Girl/It Girl saga. It was fun while it lasted. I will say they would have been wise to put this one out before the last GG novel, which falls later in time than this one. It's kind of hard to get excited to know what happens to Jenny in this when you already know what life is going to be like for her years later. It was a good wrap up for the rest of the Waverly gang, though.

You know you love me.

The last of the IT girl books... I have never been a really big fan of Jenny Humphrey, so I'm not even sure what made me start this series in the first place. The only character I feel even a bit close to is Brett, and since her storyline was in turmoil again, I kept reading for her. It was a really good girly read, nice to have after a stressful week. But I am kind of glad I don't have to read about Jenny Humphrey any more...

In the final book of the it girls series, it's valentines day. The characters are all set up by perfect match, the schools make making system. Some of them end up in the end exactly where they should have been all along, some ended up with who you would have least expected. All the main girls (Jenny, Callie, Tinsley, and Brett) all end up with their own happy ending, all better off then they were at the beginning of the school year.

I have to say I am sad that this series has ended. I'v More...

I'm sad to see the series end but at the same time I'm certain that I won't be missing some of the more annoying aspects (the brand name dropping - constantly).

I was disappointed that the couple that I was invested in didn't work out but I suppose they weren't pivotal to the series. The end pairings didn't seem very unexpected, which I guess is good (maybe the end isn't a good time for surprises). Some character arcs were wrapped up nicely, though others fell short.

A good ending to a good series. I enjoyed the ending, but I think she rushed it a little bit. I was content with all the final couplings, but I always secretly wanted Brandon and Jenny to get together, so I was a little disappointed about Cora, but oh well.

loved the beautiful but quite complicated love relationships. The ending was my favourite, after all the complications and madness going around, everyone was happy after all.

meh. Obviously the publisher cut the series off earlier than anticipated, because this was the most random series finale I've ever read.

I'm so bummed that all of my guilty pleasure teen books have ended this year/last year. Gossip Girl and its spinoff The Carlyles, A-List and its spinoff Hollywood Royalty, the Clique is ending with its next book, and now It Girl. These weren't literary masterpieces by any stretch of the imagination, but they were so nice to read when I needed a break from reality and wanted to read about spoiled, rich teens.

As a final book, this was kind of lame - I expected a lot more. But I will mi More...

I have enjoyed reading the journey that the kids of Waverly have gone through. I am a little sad that this was the last book. I would have liked to read abou them through the rest of their years in high school. I wasn't really that happy with the way the series ended. It was rather boring and I thought it could have ended better.
