It's Chrismastime and Blair and Serena are best friends again and up to their old tricks--partying hard and breaking hearts from Park Avenue to the Caribbean. Blair's mom and Cyrus are having their honeymoon in Salt Key. And when school lets out for the holiday, Blair, Serena, Aaron, and company head down there to blow off steam after their midterm exams. In between Pina Coladas and topless sunbathing, Blair and Serena plot revenge on super-jerk Chuck Bass. Everyone jets back to NYC for Serena's New Year's party, during which Nate and Blair may or may not finally go all the way, and Serena may or may not be discovered to be the secret fling of Hollywood's hottest young leading man.

In the third book of the Gossip Girls series, some big changes have happened (and many more will also occur by the end of the book).

Serena and Blair are back to being the best of friends. Nate is dating the extremely buxom Jenny (though he barely knows it, since he's high all the time). Dan and Vanessa are going hot and heavy, but Dan's not quite ready for how heavy they are going, and Serena's being courted by a famous musician.

There's lots more, of course -- from Blair's new stepbrother being infatuated with her, to Dan's burgeoning poetry skills, to...well, I'm not going to give you hints of everything.

Fans of the series will definitely eat this one up. Blair shows a human side, as does Dan. Jenny finally develops a bit of backbone, and Serena seems almost like a nymph caught wandering among humans, never quite paying attention.

Recommended for ages 14 and up.

Deck the halls with gossip and heartache. Gossip Girl is back, chatting up a storm over the holidays as the teenagers travel with their friends and family to the richest hot spots. Some endure the snow at home in Manhattan; others hit the tropical islands. No matter where they are, the drama continues.

Blair and Serena attempt to reconcile their friendship. Blair's stepbrother Aaron attempts to catch the eye of Serena, as does a celebrity. Nate attempts to woo a freshman. Vanessa and Dan attempt to be a couple. Every reader attempts to guess the identity of Gossip Girl, but that's still under wraps.

There's love, hate, beaches, gifts, parties and a break from school. Like the previous books in the series, ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING is a page turning soap opera. 'Tis the season.

All I Want is Everything was a good, fun book! If you are looking for a fun read then this one is perfect!! Even though Blair and Serena are friends you never know what can happen. They are constantly fighting over a guy...or just girl stuff. It is exciting to read about the problems and awesome things that happen in high school. Anything is possible in this book. It is a great third book in the series and I would recomend it to everyone!! (:

The Gossip Girl series may seem very provacative and materialistic, but it really is a guilty pleasure. This is the 3rd book in the series, and you seriously cannot put it down. It follows the fabulous lives of a few students in New York City. They are rich, beautiful, smart, edgy, and fun. There is always so much drama and gossip going around. Serena is being fallen in love with by a rock star, Blair needs to work on her application to Yale, again. Nate is starting to want to get back with Blair, young Jenny is in love with Nate and really thinks he loves her back, Dan can't seem to be inspired to write a decent poem, and Vanessa wants to make the best film ever. But things don't always turn out right, and even a holiday vaction to St. Bartz can't make things better. But Serena holds the biggest, coolest New Year's Eve Party that makes some things seem a bit ok. But not for all. Read this book to get in on all the latest gossip surrounding these prestigious socialites of New York.

Gossip girls #3
As usual the third installment in this spicy series is told from the point of view of the mysterious and notorious Gossip Girl. These books are not the best books Ive ever read and this is not my favorite in the series, but that does not change the fact that I could not put this book down. These books tell the stories of the glamorous (and sometimes not-so-glamorous) lives of teenagers growing up in New York.

Serena and Blair are friends once again after the messy break up of Blair and Nate featured in the previous book. Blair is handling the shock of being dumped for a 14 year old as best as she could by throwing herself into her essay for Yale based on her idol, Audrey Hepburn.

Meanwhile Serena has to deal with a celebrity stalker and Nate and jenny get into trouble involving a video camera that could simultaneously cause trouble for the lovebirds, Dan and Vanessa.

The third book: all I want is everything is not the best in the series but I liked it a lot better than the second one. These books remind me of a soap opera with break ups, drinking, smoking, love, spoilt teens and my personal favorite: gossip.

The characters in these books are the girls and boys you love to hate and really love to read about, because even though they are rich and beautiful they still have problems and dont always get what they want.

Like gossip itself, there's something slightly embarrassing about being seen reading a Gossip Girl book, and yet, they are impossible to resist. In All I Want is Everything, the third in the series, Serena and Blair have repaired their friendship. This is a big improvement on previous books, since they have even more adventures together, and Serena brings out Blair's nicer side. It's the holiday season, which means shopping, parties, vacation, and a few surprises for our leading ladies. Readers will see the plot twists coming, but most will still read this straight through, and head right back out for the next book in the series.
