Plot Summary of You Know You Love Me
"Blair Waldorf is a teenager who is used to getting what she wants. Blair lives on New York's upper east side, jet sets around the world, attends a ritzy private school and hobnobs with the rich and famous. The one thing Blair really wants is to lose her virginity to her boyfriend Nate. Still reeling from Nate's confession that he slept with her former best friend Serena before they started dating, Blair is still refusing to be friends with Serena. Serena has moved on in the romance department and is seeing Dan. Blair's life suddenly gets more complicated when her mother announces her upcoming wedding and asks Blair's archenemy Serena to be one of the bridesmaids. And her father, who has recently come out of the closet, is wearing pink argyle socks and taking on a whole new persona. And despite her desire to get intimate with Nate, Blair can't seem to seal the deal. Unbeknownst to Blair, freshman Jenny has gotten involved with Nate and may just steal Blair's man right out from under her nose. "
