wait so Chloe was still a male even in the original novel before Blair came?

I think so...Blair has said a couple times that she never actually finished the novel before she died, so she doesn't know how it ended. so, chloe was probably revealed to be a guy in the part of the novel she didn't read or something lol

Wait. I thought the novel is dropped/discontinued and not that she finished it.

ohh lmao. I’ve been laughing throughout the story with the thought of that if Chloe was originally a man, he had a whole male harem without them thinking he was actually a guy lols

oh wait you're totally right XDD
