Great read for middle school (6th grade) and up
My 11-year-old sixth-grader and I have read and loved this. A lot of her peers are now venturing into young adult books, and they all realize that this is gulity pleasure fiction and not to be taken seriously. You should definitely read the whole series. A+

Teenage Trash.
This book is aweful, as well as the Gossip Girl books. It's for teenage girls who like to daydream about guys. and things that are totally unrealistic. It's an aweful book and an overall stupid story. Don't read this book before bed; it's not worth loosing sleep.

Perfect for Older Teens 15+ :)
I love it, I am a teen and i dont drink or have a boyfriend, but the thing is that these things happen out there and parents shouldn't ignore this because it can make it worse for the kids, you have to be honest with them and teach them right from wrong or else they wont know how to deal with situations like these. i like this book because it doesnt make says it how it is and i love the scandal i would definetly recommend this to any teen and also to lovers of Gossip Girl!!

Don't worry
It's a very suspending book that any teen would enjoy, sure parents are worried about the language but that doesn't mean your child will use it. My child hates reading, she only reads the series because she finds it funny and interesting (to tell you the truth so do I!) so for you worried parents, give this book a second chance.

Loved it!
It's soo much better than gossip girl because you don't get confused with what is happening and Jenny is a new person. It's fun to see her grow into a fun exciting character!

A great start for teens all around!!
I am very excited and happy for this book! I think it explains a wilder and different side of our main character! I was 12 when i read it and i think it's a wonderful start for teens!

A must read book for ages 15& over =]
well i thin that this book is great. it talks about sex, drugs, violence, alcolhol, social life and smoking; all things that 15 and over are interested in, (well some) this book is very good as it builds tension as it skips from person to person in each chapter :)
*****
Best book i've read :)

ADDICTING
I read the first book (The It Girl) and loved it! I was absolutely hooked. Then I read the second and am anxiously awaiting the third book in November! It is a little riskay for the younger teens, though.

Relatable fun.
The It Girl is an entertaining look at how the 'other half' lives. It illustrates the societal and class-related pressures that teens face in an increasingly shallow world. Its relevance is obvious for today's teens, and it can only be a plus that the characters are engaging and relatable. Although some teens may not want their parents reading the book, it is not hard to imagine their parents relating to the issues.

I LOVED IT
As soon as my best friend read this book, she gave it to me to read telling me it was really good. I finally got around to reading it, and fell in love with it. As soon as i found out that there were two more, i imediately read them. I wish that there were movies of the books though. This book isn't one of those books that you could really screw up with, so maybe you will consider it?
