Cecily von Ziegesar returns to the world of GOSSIP GIRL with the series’ first adult novel, BLAIR, set twenty-two years after the end of the first series. At forty, Blair Waldorf is back on Manhattan’s Upper East Side trying to reclaim her socialite throne while harboring a big secret.

“You know you still love me.” 

Blair Waldorf, the OG Queen Bee of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is back. Now forty, she is escaping her life built in Paris that has been severely tarnished by a scandal that has brought down the family. Blair returns to NYC hoping what happened in Paris stays in Paris, and moves back in with her mother Eleanor and stepfather Cyrus in their spacious penthouse. However, gossip travels fast and soon Blair is up against the wall, trying to win over the favor of the new queen bees and make herself relevant again by somehow climbing her way back to the top of the social ladder. 

But when she runs into some familiar faces from her past, she must reconcile with the fact that she harbors a massive secret, that, if revealed, will cause everything she’s fighting for to come crashing down again.

About the Author

Cecily von Ziegesar is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gossip Girl novels, upon which the hit television show is based. She was born in New York City and attended Colby College before spending a year in Budapest working for a local radio station. Von Ziegesar returned to the United States to study creative writing at the University of Arizona, but dropped out shortly thereafter.

Back in New York, while working at book-packaging firm Alloy Entertainment, von Ziegesar became inspired to create the Gossip Girl series, which follows the lives of privileged teenagers in New York. The series climbed to the top of The New York Times best-sellers list in 2002. A spin-off series, The It Girl, made the list in 2005. The Constance Billard School for Girls in Gossip Girl is based upon an exaggerated version of von Ziegesar’s alma mater, Nightingale. She also culled events from the book from the lives of her extremely wealthy friends, as well as her own life as a perpetual gossip.

She lives in Brooklyn, New York with her family.
