Anyway, in the book, he and his (poet) father live in t...
In both the book and the show, the identity of Gossip Girl is a mystery throughout. Their existence is very similar, with blasts outing the secrets of various characters and stalking tracking their every move for seemingly unknown reasons.

Vanessa was apparently bald in the book but had long black hair in the show. Jenny was persistently described as having very large breasts in the book, but this is (thankfully)...

One of the stranger aspects of the Gossip Girl show came towards the end of its existence. They were obviously running rather low on storyline ideas and, as such, had to invent some pretty creative tales.

In the show, it is widely known that Dan is an aspiring writer. In fact, this pretty much becomes the one backbone for his reveal as Gossip Girl: he is a writer so he can ‘write’ himself into their world. Yeah, it’s clever but it still makes no sense.
