review 1: Classic is the tenth and final novel in the It Girl series, and is a great end to what is definitely one of my all-time favourite series. There's all the usual drama I've become accustomed to, as well as brilliantly funny dialogue (Heath Ferro should be immortalised forever), new scandals and a look at the many Waverly relationships.Classic sees Jenny Humphrey's last semester of her first year at Waverly, and as usual nothing runs smoothly. Valentine's Day brings brings with a whole host of stress amongst the students, thanks to the school's 'Perfect Match' survey. People are partnered with who the computer thinks is their perfect match, and though some people are happy, others are miffed by who they're supposed to be with. As you can imagine, this creates some serious hav... moreoc for the Waverly girls, and I loved every page of it.Relationships, both romantic and platonic, are tested in Classic, which is par for the course when it comes to Jenny and her super-hot, super-rich friends. Tinsley and Brett devise a diabolical plan to take down a fellow student, Callie is stuck in the middle of the most frustrating love triangle with Easy and Brandon, and Jenny finds out just what it's like to be lied to. Honestly, if I were any of these girls, I would have upped and moved by now, probably to a convent somewhere. How they've stuck through 10 books of tumultuous relationships, bitch fights and drug-induced clinches is beyond me, but somehow they have. Well done, girls - you made it through the year!I'm sad this series has now finished, and I'm really going to miss it. It's in no way a literary classic, but I absolutely love it. It's like Gossip Girl but better, and I think it's quite unusual for a spin-off series to outshine its source. It Girl has, though, and kudos to Ziegesar's ghost writer. Whoever you are, you've managed to entertain me for 10 books, and for that I thank you.Long live Waverly!
review 2: I'm actually sad this is the last book out of the series. The last pages were kind of hard to finish, because I didn't want to finish the book but I force myself too. It was kind like losing a friend, a rich-fabulous-trashy friend of course. The book starts out with Easy Walsh(surprisingly) because it always starts out with Jenny. The book is probably the best in my opinion out of the series. I did feel bad for Brandon and I still find Callie annoying, it made me said make your mind? which guy do you want Easy or Brandon? As for Tinsley Carmichael, you know she is going to get her payback with Isla and drags Brett along with it. I did find Brett once again storyline same as the last one. She always getting jealous and insecure. But I also already knew about Jenny's storyline, if you've read Gossip Girl "I Will Always Love" you know how things went with her. Her storyline was pretty much predictable. Overall the book is pretty good, a bit okay at some parts. I'm going to miss reading these books. I would say, there could be a next series but I seriously doubt it. But I'm glad it did get a fair start and was a pretty good spin-off, unfortunately A-list and the new GG didn't go so well. But I will miss reading this series. less

AYESH
A great ending to a great series. I'm so sad to see the It Girl done but also kind of glad it wasn't spread out so much like Private or something. I first read the It Girl in 7th grade and stopped after that then took up the series after it had ended. It's Valentine's Day at Waverly and the school goes all out on the celebration with events for the whole week and Perfect Match, which drives some people (Brett) crazy and others joyful. Callie has to decide between Brandon and Easy, Jenny comes to see Isaac for who he really is, Tinsley is jealous at Isla's sudden popularity and decides to ruin her with the help of Brett, who's pissed at the fact that Sebastian's giving Isla more attention than her. I'll definately miss Tinsley, Callie, Jenny (so glad she's actually a sweet, thoughtful girl and not a gothic back-stabber like Gossip Girl the TV show's version of Jenny), Brett, Easy, Brandon, Heath (of course, he's just so hilarious and hot) and all the other people I have come to love. When you've spent so much time with some characters, it's as if they've become family or something like that..

A fond and well-wrought farewell to this sweet, warm-hearted series filled with fun and lovable characters. Everyone ended up roughly where they should be, which is to be expected, since the series is ending but the characters still have a couple more years at Waverly ahead of them. The Jenny Humphrey of the books is so completely different to that exskanktioned airhead of the GG tv show that the two are similar in name only. The real Jenny is a charming, winsome heroine who has allied herself with some terrific friends -- headstrong, love-bewildered Callie; fabulously vain, manipulative Tinsley; quirky, neurotic Brett, and many others. I would have loved for Heath and Kara to have "ended up" together, but this isn't the end of their story, just the end of this series. Very nicely done.
