This slayed. It was just a silly book about rich people making bad decisions and spending all their money. It’s very interesting to see the difference between the books and the TV show. 

A summary: 

-Nate is still Boring As Hell and is honestly worse in the book.

-Chuck is still a literal criminal.

-Dan is a bigger loser in the book (lovingly).

-Serena is the same pretty much.

-Blair still slays and is the only valid character.
