Reckless (The It Girl, No. 3) 
asked by jan1975 on November 3, 2006 8:11 PM
Popular Gossip Girl character Jenny Humphrey is making a splash at Waverly Academy, an elite boarding school in New York horse country where glamorous rich kids don't let the rules get in the way of an excellent time. It's less than a semester into school, but Jenny's already become notorious, just like Tinsley Carmichael - who won't give up her Waverly "it girl" crown without a fight.

Like gossip girls, the it girl series is a total page turner. Cecily von Ziegesar makes sure that she tells you a lot of information but not too much so it will keep you hooked. It's annoying to have to wait a long time for the next one, but it's worth it.

Reckless is not a disappointment! It is every bit as addictive as the two It Girl novels that preceeded it. You can't help but be swept away with Jenny, Callie, Brett, and Tinsley as they navigate through the sometimes excruciating, sometimes thrilling, moments of their priviliged lives at Waverly Academy. And then there are the boys - Easy Walsh is so sweet and sexy, of course Jenny couldn't end up happily-ever-after with him like was promised at the end of Notorious. Which would have been boring - it's so much more fun to see the romantic entanglments all play out - like what about the great addition of Kara to the Waverly cast??
These books do just keep getting better. The best part of the It Girl is that these girls aren't just your standard rich girls at a private school. The author has formed each character completely, well above and beyond physical characteristics like different hair and eye color. They have interests and quirks and attractions, even struggles, and that makes them real. Reading Reckless, at any moment you may laugh or let your mouth drop open in disbelief with them. That's why I'll keep reading the It Girl series - not for the 200 pages devoted to a weekend in a dorm, but because of the girls (and guys) in the dorm. If you put these characters in any setting, over any time frame, delicious drama will occur - because the characters are so damn good - even if it's usually in a naughty way!

I really enjoyed the first two books but I can tell this series is starting to go downhill like Gossip Girl did.
The first half was boring but picked up when the girls in the dormitory had to stay in for the weekend for a punishment. Things really heated up between all the main characters.
Better get a clue, author. Don't drag this series on like the Gossip Girl books.
