Fairy tales can come true. Alas, so too can evil queens …
Five years after the Gossip Girl TV finale, Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass are married and with child. Hoping to escape the grime, not to mention the drama of the Upper East Side, they’ve moved to the Hamptons, where the newlyweds own a fabulous house on a hidden-away cul-de-sac. Proud of her accomplishments (and eager as always to show off), Blair throws a party to display her husband, child and possessions to proper advantage. Chuck’s best friend Nate shows up, on the arm of a beautiful, enigmatic oversees girlfriend, Francesca Veneta. Blair’s Queen Bee antenna immediately sends off alarms. Sure enough, she soon catches Chuck and Veneta swimming in each other’s arms. Chuck swears it was innocent. That Francesca is an old, best-forgotten lover. Ever the scheming monarch, Blair knows exactly what to do. Where’s Nate? Maybe she’ll finish what Chuck started.
A Blast From the Past is a searing, irresistible chapter inspired by the Gossip Girl series.
