- I didn't care for this one as much as the last two. Seemed like being on break from school made everything less interesting.Summary:- Everyone goes to the Black and White Ball, where Flow (rock star du jour) is performing. He sees Serena and falls for her immediately. Serena has fun with him for a sec, but then gets bored of him like always. Leaves him begging for more at the end of the book. Starts hooking up with Aaron, Blair's stepbrother, who is trying to get over his incestuous crush on Blair.- Blair and Serena head with Aaron, Aaron's friend Miles, and the rest of Blair's fam to St. Bart's for Christmas break. Blair almost loses her virginity to Miles but decides against it last minute because she's really not that into him (Aaron walks in right as she's leaving and gets the wrong idea). She also finds out that her mom is pregnant much to her horror. In addition, Blair decides to write her Yale admissions essay as a screenplay about Audrey Hepburn attending college because she's obsessed with Audrey and her glamorous ways. Despite flirting with Nate she ends this novel single.- Jenny is super into Nate and Nate is too stoned to notice. They do cutesy stuff like seeing the Nutcracker, buying each other underwear, and making out in the park but things get too heavy for Nate when Jenny says "I love you" (as well as finding out she paints portraits of him all over her room...). Nate spends New Years Eve flirting with Blair and when Jenny catches them she knows it's over.- Dan is a douche-bag as always. Vanessa wants to sleep with him but he's too dramatic to consider it. Thinks she's a slut when she shows off her new nice underwear for him. He writes a poem calling her a slut, whore, etc., sends it to her, V thinks it's good and gets it published in the New Yorker. Vanessa also accidentally films Jenny and Nate hooking up in the park (not knowing it was them) and then her sister's friends upload it to the internet for everyone to slut-shame Jenny (including her dick of a brother and dad). For some odd reason Vanessa and Dan make-up on NYE just as she's getting noticed by a famous movie director.- Chuck was in the story for like 2 seconds - nothing like the tv series.
The novel All I Want is Everything, by Cecily von Ziegesar, is a story that is centered around two wealthy and fashionable girls Serena and Blair. The other characters, including a filmmaker, a poet, Blair’s ex boyfriend,a young girl desperate for love, and Nate’s friends- add drama to the story, leaving the reader wanting to read more. The setting and the plot of this story is very interesting and realistic. Blair’s ex boyfriend, Nate, is stuck in a love triangle. He and Blair had dated for so long, and as he tries to move on by dating another girl, he is constantly reminded of Blair and the times they used to share together. As well, during this book the girls are trying to get into college, and Blair has her hopes set on getting into Yale. This is a great book for people who like romantic comedy books with a hint of mystery and excitement. I find this book highly addictive, which is probably because I’m a teenager and can relate to the feelings and situations to the characters. It’s common in high school to experience the stress of writing college essays, and to be confused about love. Everyone has a dream school that they want to get into, and everyone knows what its like to meet that special someone. I also think this book is great because of the tone that Cecily Von Ziegesar uses to tell the story. For example, she says, “A half-eaten banana? How romantic” (150). Her sarcasm and sense of humor makes the book funny and enjoyable. Some of the decisions the characters made in this story were very surprising and unpredictable as well. Overall, all of the action and problems that the character’s face will definitely keep any reader on the edge of his/her seat! I recommend this book for teenagers in high school because I feel like they will definitely enjoy reading about the chaos, decisions, and drama that is involved with being a teen.

Nothing surprising here, except I love it when a character in an otherwise fluffy book has serious literary pretensions. Especially poetic ones. Because then every now and again I get surprised by a great big genuine belly laugh:Sluts[By Daniel, a dolorous high school poet. This poem magically gets accepted for publication in the New Yorker. The New Yorker! Because, yeah, that could totally happen. Totally. I mean, it's Just So Profound.]wipe the sleep from my eyes and pour me another cupi see what you've been trying to tell me all alongshaving your head and handling me (so delicately)with satin and lace:you're a whore-----------------------------------------------------My version would go a little something like this:Chick Litpour me another glass of champagnewhile i wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes.i see what you've been trying to show me all along:your genius lies in your unabashed absurdity (such absurdity!).i should just sit back and accept that youare the literary equivalent of a small-town stripper:not very talented but still so entertaining.you keep writhing on my lap,and i keep turning the page.

"Omg I hate Dan." - "Omg I hate Nate" were probably the most thought thoughts by me while reading. Seriously, Dan is a sick basterd (seriously sick, barely eats, smokes like a chimney, drinks liters of coffee and writes cryptic poems) while Nate is simply a jerk (as in: pothead extraordinaire, can't make up his mind of either Blair or Jenny and simply can't commit to ANYTHING. Stay with your drugs, Natie). The most fun things to read were the St.Barts parts and Serena and Blair trying to avoid t
