PurplyCookie's Reviews > Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer

Blair and Serena, the psychopathic protagonists primarily featured are not only murderous, they are social and fashion icons. I loved this parody of the NYC life of those anxiety-ridden kids whose only consistency is private schools which over-cultivate and ignore them, charging them to the -nth degree in preparation for Ivy League colleges and life in the fast lanes for which they've been born and bred for.

Some of the really entertaining parts are reading about the trendy fashions, the menus, the over-the-top drinks, and the museum "artistes." I loved the raucous descriptions of baby blingers, day school uniforms, hair dressers, college placement counselors; and, maids who covered and cleaned up without blinking an eye; naturally, because to admit awareness would mean they'd be looking for alternative employment.
