All I Want Is Everything

Everyone who says Gossip Girl is trashy and the characters are spoiled and slutty, etc, etc, is completely right. I do not read these books to stimulate my mind. I read them because they are amusing. It's all fiction and most Gossip Girl readers are very aware of that. Just because these books contain sexual elements, drugs, whatever, does not mean all girls out there will try it all! I read Gossip Girl, but there is no way I'm ever going to be doing anything Serena or Blair or Jenny are doing. Hello? Girls are not complete idiots who will try and do whatever we read about. Most of us have brains. Gossip Girl contains nothing worse than a movie an average female teenager would watch anyway. Lighten up. All I Want Is Everything is truly a funny, light read, great if you need some cheering up. If you want something heavier, serious, and still awesome, try Megan McCafferty or Ann Brashares.

How would you feel if your best friend moved to boarding school and you never got a call or a letter from her? Then all of a sudden you find out she's back in town and expecting your friendship to be the same. This is a problem Blair had when Serena went to boarding school. They both live in Upper East Side New York in some of the most exquisite Penthouses, if you think that sounds nice there's more. They also have full time maids and cooks just in case they get hungry or if there rooms get messy. "Eventually they both decided to kiss and make up". It was about time, how long can you be mad at someone you've sent more than ten years of your life being friends with.What makes this book hard to put down is it's so detailed you feel like it's a movie playing in your head. The book is told in the view point of two people, Serena and Blair. What's so great about this is you really find out what Serena and Blair are thinking because they both give you their perspective of what's going on. If you enjoyed the Alice Series, this book is perfect for you. Not only will you not put it down, but also you won't stop talking about it with your friends and peers.

Okay I finished reading "All I Want is Everything" about a month ago and it's still buzzing in my head. Blair and Serena become so happy together. Blair made me laugh out loud with some of the stuff she thinks and Serena's beauty and... blondness is hilarious. Nate is absolutely wicked in this book which makes me love him more. Jenny turns into a creepy physco. Aaron brings in the picture his hot friend Miles who gets dirty with Blair... hint hint. This is absolutely captivating and I finished it in half an hour. You just want more and more. This is the best book yet personally. There's way more clothes, drinking, sex, and drugs in this one which makes it even more juicier. You're steaming over who's Gossip Girl and you get a few hints. Every gossiper should read this book.

Serena and Blair are friends again (so fast?) and back to their old ways of hard drinking, chain smoking, and just partying it up all the time. Ok, I'll admit it, I do miss the whole fight dynamic they had in the first two books...Nate is just as frustrating as usual. He's suddenly having second thoughts about Jenny (finally) and beginning to think that maybe Blair wasn't so bad after all. Dan and Vanessa are together, but they just can't seem to just get down and have sex! Hmm, sound familiar, anyone? Poor Aaron, hopelessly in love with his stepsister (eww!) and rejected at every turn. I hate to say it, but I find myself actually caring about these characters. Like, I want Blair to get into Yale, I want Serena to get with Aaron, and for God's sake, I really want Kati and Isabel to just come out of the closet and admit that they're in love with each other. But what I want most of all is to find out who Gossip Girl really is, although that would spoil everything...oh well. Can't wait for the fourth installment in the fall!

this book is great, blair is my favorite. i love her obsession with audrey hepburn and how she always plays hard to get. the characters personalities havent changed AT ALL (except for i think blair's gotten more funny to read about, and of course she still has that eating disorder) but nate gets on my nerves as well as the plot with vanessa and dan. i just couldn't put this book down!! if you havent read it yet, you should!!
