Torn between her parent's bitter divorce and the secrets neither of them will speak of, Juliette Julien has never been one to sit still.
Fiercely independent, relentlessly curious, and unshakably optimistic, she's always believed life is meant to be lived on her own terms while navigating life in the elegant city of Paris . But everything changes when, on her 17th birthday, she receives the long-awaited news: she's been accepted into the prestigious exchange student program at Constance Billard St. Jude's School in New York City.
Dreaming of a fresh start in a world of privilege and opportunity, Juliette arrives ready to embrace her new life. But stepping into the glittering world of the Upper East Side she finds the glamorous facade of the Upper East Side, is a battlefield of secrets, lies, and power plays.
Her half-brother, with his charming smile and a knack for manipulation, seems to know more than he lets on. Her classmates are anything but welcoming with their competitive spirit and perfectly curated facades.
The Upper East Side has its own rules: trust no one, play the game, or risk losing everything. But some secrets refuse to stay buried. And Juliette? She's about to find out just how dangerous the truth can be.
Welcome to the game, Juliette Julien or should I say Juliette Bass
- XOXO, Gossip Girl.
Casey van der Woodsen always thought she could handle the pressure of living on the Upper East Side. But when life in the spotlight got too heavy, she followed in her older sister Serena's footsteps - diving into a world of late-night parties, drinking, and bad decisions.
One reckless night changed everything when Casey hooked up with Nate Archibald - Blair Waldorf's boyfriend since preschool. What started as a mistake soon turned into something much more dangerous: real feelings.
Wracked with guilt and unable to face Blair, Casey made a choice: it was time for her and Serena to clean up their acts and leave Manhattan behind.
A year later, Casey returns - older, wiser, and determined to do better.
But temptations on the Upper East Side never really go away.
Especially when every glance between Casey and Nate feels like a spark waiting to catch fire... and old secrets threaten to surface.
As feelings resurface, new consequences follow - consequences that could change everything forever.
And just in time for Gossip Girl's big comeback, ready to expose every dirty little secret.
On the Upper East Side, love isn't the only thing that can ruin you.
Stay tuned.
XOXO, Gossip Girl.
