Perhaps its because I have the upcoming summer on my mind these days, but this installment of Gossip Girl, which follows the teens through the first few joyous weeks of summer, felt like an invigorating breath in this series.  School’s out and that definitely mixes things up.  Serena’s a movie star, Blair’s a fashionista, Dan’s an exercise freak….things are moving quickly!  This was one of the stronger novels in the series, but let’s be honest: this is still Gossip Girl we’re talking about.  Proceed at your own risk.
