Its a great book, if you are under 15 I recommend it-only if your that mature.
i think that this book is really good. i'm 13 and I love it! I think that all the sexual content/drugs(it talks about ecstasy but thats about it)/cigarettes are inappropriate, but if you are mature enough to know that 'everything they're doing is bad and i am never going to do this as long as i live because they're not role models' then u should be o.k.

The It Girl
I like how Jenny trys to leave her Upper East Side life and trys to start with a new slate . Jenny was always my favorite Gossip Girl character and didn't like how people judged her by her breast size. I have no clue what the books moral is but I still think it's really good!It made me LMAO.

Inappropriate for anyone under 15, Maybe mature 14 year olds.
I'm 14 and I didn't notice the back that said "15+" until I really got into the book. It's definitely inappropriate although I instantly became addicted. I would not reccomend it to my younger sister, although I would to one of my friends. It's like The Clique, only the girls are meaner on a new level of drugs and alcohol. Unless you are mature enough to understand what the girls in the story are doing is wrong, than you should not read this book. Between the student-teacher affair and the "E incident" this book is completely atrocious - but I loved every moment of it anyway! Filled with labels, most girls would probably look to buy some of these brands. I know plenty of people online who obsess over books like this (namely The Clique) and act just like the main characters. It disgusts me, but I am mature enough to not act like characters.

Great book for teens!
Great book! I laughed a lot! I am a teen, and do not do anything of the things mentionned in the book, but found it very entertaining. It's FICTION!!

Very addictive! Twas Amazing!
If you like the Gossip Girl series, you'll love this one and vice versa! I love this series and the books in it just get better. Although I wouldn't recommend in to any pre-teens, and it would only be suitable for 13 / 14 year olds who are very mature - other wise, it would give them a bit of a wake up call - although it is very over the top with how dramatic it is!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!
These books (in the it girl series) are all AMAZING. These are my favorite books of all time. As for the teacher-student thing with Brett, it ends badly and it turns out he was a sketchy character anyway so it shows that the relationship was negative. Also about the rich/ materialistic thing, the main character, Jenny isn't rich. She's still got lots of friends and is quite happy, so is it really so horrible? Plus there's no actual sex scenes and I found these books cleaner than the Gossip Girl books which I also enjoyed, although not as much. These books are very very good and I highly reccomend them.

Fun but not ispirational
I thought it was a fun and entertaining book but for younger kids it isn't appropriate and the characters deffinately aren't role model. All they want to do is become popular

However, i would deffinitley not wanting my younger sister who is 12 & in the 6th grade reading it. & all the things that i clicked in orange is just the material that is in the book i don't think its to much or anything.

BOOOOORING
Kinda boring. I got a little bored after a while, so not the best. Definitely not as creative as Gossip Girl. There's a lot of brand names, although not that many. Lots of swearing, that surprised me but didn't really affect me reading it. Just really unnecessary. Although the girls are really naughty and do all sorts of drugs and bad things, most of the characters are not keen on getting in trouble, specifically the main character, Jenny, who's actually a good girl just with a lot of really bad girls. She can get sucked in, but really tries not to. Good idea for a story, although boring - as many spin-offs are.

loved it!
It was an awesome book! I cant wait for the second one! It may not be appropriate for children under 13 because there are some mature subjects in the book. ex. sex, drinking, and drugs. Other than that it was great.

a must read book for every tween or teenage girl looking for a lil spice
This book is soooo good, it almost makes me giggle! it tells the truth on how many females can act, a.k.a total backstabbing, boyfriend stilling! Thats just one of the reasons why this book is interesting! now, this book has a lot of sexual parts in it which also makes it pretty good too! personally, i think is could have a little more, but whatever!!!! heehee! all i am saying is is that it is sexxi! haha! ok, all in all is rocks some serious monkey.
