Enchanting Review: You Just Can't Get Enough

YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH (GOSSIP GIRL THE CARLYLES)
Created by CECILY VON ZIEGESAR
Written by Annabelle Vestry
Contemporary YA

Rating: 4 Enchantments

It doesn't seem like the Carlyle triplets Avery, Owen and Baby have only been in Manhattan for only a week. They haven't even begun to make their mark despite the party that managed to get the cops called and Avery taken to the police station. But not everything is smooth sailing for the triplets, Baby's trying to get back in the good books at Constance Billard, Avery's already got one frenemy in Jack, and Owen's trying to get over Kelsey, who just happens to be the ex-girlfriend of one of his good friends from the swim team. What will happen if Rhys finds out that Owen's the real reason Kelsey broke up with him?

The Carlyles are a great addition to the Gossip Girl series. I have to say I'm partial to Owen and Baby. Jack's the perfect bad girl, out to oust Avery from her inner circle of friends but with Avery knowing the truth about her financial situation, Jack is practically being blackmailed till the truth comes out and then Jack is hopeful it'll send Avery out of Constance Billard, out of Manhattan and straight out of New York. I loved Owen having to struggle with the fact he's interested in Kelsey, but knowing Rhys is still into her as well. The swim team scenes with Owen and Rhys are actually some of my favorite in the book.

Fans of the Gossip Girl series won't go wrong picking this one up.

Look for the Gossip Girl: The Carlyles #3 `Take a Chance on Me' out in May 2009. Read the first chapter of YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH here: http://www.pickapoppy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/GGC2Chap1.pdf

frothy fun!

Let me start by saying I'm well over the target audience age for this book, but as someone who volunteers with teens, I like to know what they're reading--especially when it's a series that's become such a cultural phenomenon. That said, these books are frothy, escapist fun. This book is the second to follow the Carlyle triplets as they navigate the complicated social maze of the Upper East Side. The outsiders perspective is refreshing as it pulls back the gilded curtain into the monogrammed, designer-clad, and scandalous lives of the world of the teens who attend Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Judes School for Boys while Gossip Girl and her wink-wink, nudge-nudge asides give the series its glossily addictive sheen. I'l admit, I'm totally hooked!!

great characters

Much to my surprise the triplets are a refreshing change from the original characters---don't get me wrong the originals are fabulous and I too wonder what it would be like to follow them to college. Having said that I find an increased sense of humor in some of the descriptions of the never ending adventures and details to the brand of Manhattan and of the powers that be in the Constance Billard School. The episodes of the triplets are great and I can't wait for more.

After a whirlwind first week on the Upper East Side, the Carlyles have made their mark on Manhattan's Golden Mile. Owen is new BFFs with Rhys Sterling, but what will happen when they both fall for the same girl? Baby stole resident it girl Jack Laurent's boyfriend...and then Avery stole Jack's popularity. Now Jack is on the warpath, and she wants nothing more than to send the Carlyle girls packing their Louis Vuitton trunks. Is the UES big enough for all their drama?
