Babbler gets her ending?

Queen of Babble Gets Hitched by Meg Cabot

Love Triangle! When we meet Lizzie Nichols in “Queen of Babble” she is in a horrible relationship with Andrew (liar, cheater, gambler, etc.) she falls in love with Luke and in end of “Queen of Babble in the Big City” Lizzie and Luke have broken up. Well SPOILER ALERT for book 3: the first chapter of this book Luke decides he can’t live without Lizzie and drops a three karat ring on her finger. At the same time who is in Lizzie’s bed? Chaz, Lizzie’s best friend Shari’s ex-boyfriend and Luke’s best friend, but don’t worry, nothing happened, just some heavy making out in the cab on the way home. While her refurbished wedding gown store is doing incredible, she can’t seem to find time to plan her own wedding. Every time she starts to think about marrying Luke she hives up and freaks out. Luke moves to Paris and wants Lizzie to move there with him. Chaz and Shari have ganged up on Lizzie letting her know that Luke is not right for her. Chaz seems to think that he is the person that loves Lizzie. Who will she choose in the end? Prince charming Luke, or Chaz with his Michigan baseball cap?

In this final book of the series, we meet a new character named Ava Geck, a bride to be that is a celebrity of sorts because of her father’s money. She brings with her a whole new area of problems for Lizzie, along with some good life lessons.

This was a fantastic book that ended the series. I love it when an author changes your mind for you. I wanted Lizzie to be happy, and I could only think of one way for the series to end and her be happy. I changed my mind and stated hoping for other endings. Cabot’s writing in this series was delightful. She has great characters and her wit is unmatched. She keeps you laughing with her character’s fun personality and changes things that you just don’t see coming. The series was great and a fun fast read.

Big mouth? Entertainment Value: High!

Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot

Lizzie Nichols is back and loose on New York City. She comes to the big city with her best friend Shari (and their boyfriends) but has no job and no place to live. Things seem to start to fall into place when her boyfriend asks her to move in to his place, she lands a job (that doesn’t pay) at a wedding gown refurbishing store and Shari’s boyfriend Chaz gets her a paying job at his father’s law firm. Of course, her mouth gets her in trouble when she befriends Jill Higgins, a New York society bride with a troublesome future mother-in-law. She gets fired because of the friendship with Higgins and ends up homeless because she mentions the M-word (marriage) to her boyfriend. The question is, can she rescue herself from the crazy trouble that her mouth has gotten herself into?

This book was very good. Cabot found a winner with Lizzie, she has such a great personality and she’s a lot of fun. When I read this book, I would just squirm knowing that something disastrous was about to happen. You could feel it! I just wanted to take my hand and clamp her mouth shut, I could see what was going to happen after she opened her big mouth. I remember thinking… Don’t do that… oh, well, now you’ve done it. Ha Ha! At her law office job, a new character is introduced, Tiffany, the perfect model that forces Lizzie to see herself in a clearer light. She’s a good friend for Lizzie and I appreciate her in the story.

Here’s the disclaimer: this book is rated R for sexual content and language. Please do not read this book, if you are under that age of 18. If you do read this against my wishes and you are under that age, don’t go blaming your rotted out mind on me, I warned you!

Babble This, Babble That!

Queen of Babble by: Meg Cabot

Lizzie Nichols has problems. They seem to find her everywhere she goes and usually because of her big mouth. She is at her college graduation party and finds out she’s not graduating until she writes a 50 page thesis paper on the History of Fashion. She goes to England to spend time with her boyfriend and finds out that he is not only fashionably retarded, but a liar, gambler, and so much more. She was supposed to spend a month in England with Andrew, but finds that she can’t stay with him anymore, so she searches out her best friend Shari who is working at Château Mirac in the Dordogne wine country in France. On her way, she meets American Jean-Luc de Villiers on the Chunnel and spills her guts to him in an embarrassing display. Low and behold Jean-Luc is the owner’s son of the very Château that she is trying to find. Her troubles don’t stop there, but you’ll have to read it to see how Lizzie can use her big mouth to get out of the mess that she has gotten herself into.

Meg Cabot had me rolling, this book was laugh out loud funny. I read while sitting on the couch with my husband, Simon and he kept asking me what I was laughing about. The “babble” that comes out of Lizzie’s mouth is fascinating and her character is gripping. Cabot introduces us to characters that are interesting and hard to resist. I loved Lizzie’s obsession with vintage clothing, and her constant cheating on her diet. This book is a quick read and a lot of fun. It is the first of the series that is well worth your time.

Here’s the disclaimer: this book is rated R for sexual content and language. Please do not read this book, if you are under that age of, oh, I don’t know, 18… There are sexual scenes that are not horribly graphic, but I would feel better about liking this book if I knew I wasn’t endorsing it to my younger readers.
