Product Description:


Lizzie Nichols is back, pounding the New York City pavement and looking for a job, a place to live, and her proper place in the universe (not necessarily in that order).



"Summer Fling" Luke's use of the "L" (Living Together) word has her happily abandoning plans to share a one-room walk-up with best friend Shari in exchange for cohabitation with the love of her life in his mom's ritzy Fifth Avenue pied-à-terre. Lizzie's landed a non-paying gig in her chosen field—vintage wedding gown rehab—and a paying one as a receptionist at Shari's boyfriend's father's posh law firm. So life is good . . . for the moment.



But almost immediately her notoriously big mouth is getting her into trouble. At work she's becoming too chummy with society bride-to-be Jill Higgins, inflaming the ire of Jill's troublesome future mother-in-law. At home she's made the grievous error of bringing up the "M" (Marriage) word to commitment-shy Luke. Once again joblessness and homelessness are looming large for hapless blabbermouth Liz—unless she can figure out some way to babble her way to a happily ever after.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Character dishonesty
I (like most other reviewers) really enjoyed the first Queen of Babble book. It was quick, silly, and fun. The characters were established pretty clearly and even if we didn't know them that well, the characters (Lizzy, Shari, and Chaz) knew each other very well. This book made me sad. The big plot twist is predictable and a huge disappointment. I'm not sure I'll read the next book since I can't trust Cabot to be honest with me. I've enjoyed other Cabot books, but in all of the ones I've read ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Worth reading
Not as good as the first or third, but a must read to get to the last book in the series. A very quick read.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A complete disappointment
First, let me just say that I enjoyed the first book The Queen of Babble. I thought it was cute. I liked Lizzie, the zany main character as well as her friends Shari & Chaz. I thought Luke was dreamy and was happy at the ending as it stood.

I read the second book and am totally disappointed. It's predictable and trite. Luke becomes a shadow of the guy she fell in love with, Shari is angry (and transformed big time), and Chaz is just floating around in the background until he's not ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Babble is Back
Our second installment in the Queen of Babble series by Meg Cabot picks up with Lizzie, our big mouthed heroine, moving to New York City to begin her life in the fashion industry and as a love interest for the sexy Luke. Rather than finding her own apartment, however, Lizzie allows herself to be talked into living with Luke in his mother's high rent abode across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While this seems to be a wonderful development, it does throw a wrench into BFF's Shari's plan for she ... Read More
