All I Want is Everything

Book 3. It's Christmas time, and apparently everyone leaves town for the holiday (it's funny, those of us that *don't* live in New York dream of going there for Christmas, and those who do live there can't wait to get out). Blair, her stepbrother Aaron, Serena, and Aaron's friend Miles are all going with Blair's mother and stepfather to St. Bart's for the holiday. Both Miles and Aaron are hot for Blair. Meanwhile a pop star named Flow has followed Serena to the island. Nate leaves for Maine with his folks, but not before he and Jenny exchange sexy underwear as Christmas gifts. Serena and Blair get tired of the various guys mooning over them (it's a rough life, girls) and return to New York in time to plan a kick ass New Year's Eve party. Flow shows up to serenade Serena with a song he wrote for her, and she doesn't even listen to it: she goes out on the balcony to make out with Aaron, who has gotten over his Blair crush. Well alright then! Oh, and Dan and Vanessa are officially a thing, and Vanessa tries to seduce Dan, who turns her down. This is the most unrealistic thing in these books. No teenage boy is going to turn down a girl in his bedroom standing there in her underwear. NONE. I don't care how lame and poetic they are. No one really cares about Dan, though.
