When I set out to write a book about the natural history of breasts, I knew I'd have to answer some awkward questions about my book topic. At a...

loved this book! It was very realistic and remianed me of some of my old friends. The author did a great job of poetring the characters and their feelings and emtions. I felt really bad foe Blair when she found out that her mom was getting married to a fat and loud man. These books are a little racey, but they are really good. I recomend them

I recently started reading the gossip girl series and finished the first 6 books in 1 week!
I really enjoyed this book as I did all the others.
The best thing about this book is Nate and Blair finally "do it" but i couldn't help but feel sorry for Blair because no matter how hard she tries she always comes in second best to Serena. She and Serena both apply to a number of Colleges and Serena gets into all of them (including Yale) despite her bad grades and the fact that she got kicked out of boarding school where as Blair gets into one school and is waitlisted at Yale which totally breaks her heart. Nate gets into Yale as well and sleeps with Brigid his Brown interviewer so as you can see Blair is not the lucky one in this book.
I would definetly recomend this book to girls who are just above twelve but I suggest you read the first five books first.

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

For those of you that are familiar with the Gossip Girl series this is one of the better ones because some of the characters act slightly differently then you would expect them to and this adds a nice change.
Everything starts off great with Blair and Nate together and with Blair still best friends with Serena.
Then Nate steals his parents boat and he and a group of druggies go on a trip to Bermuda. Nate realizes too late that he would rather be with Blair and when he gets enough sense to turn the boat around he finds out that his parents are mad at him as well.
Now I won't tell you the whole story but what I will tell you is that:
Blair moves to the Plaza hotel then to Vanessa's house
Nate gets grounded for stealing the boat but sneaks out of the house anyway (Whats new about that!?!)
Blair gets accpted to Yale (Yay!!)
AND
Serena and Nate kiss (by accident) and Blair walks in on them!
All in all this was a good book and I definitely recommend it to anyone who has read the other 7 books

Another fantastic novel by Cecily! I loved this book. I read til 1:00 every night because I just couldn't put it down! This was definitely one of my favorites because throughout (basicly) the whole book, Serena and Nate were together. Although they're not my favorite couple, it's much better than just having Nate put with some random girl. Truthfully, I would have loved to see more of Blair-less of Serena. I just like Blair the best. I'm actually going to be quite relieved if Jenny isn't in the books anymore. I'm not HER biggest fan! But I really did like this book. Except, the kiss at the end was kind of uncalled for...
