Queen of Babble Gets Hitched (Queen of Babble)
Big mouth. Big heart.
Big wedding. Big problems.
It’s the wedding of the century!
Things are looking up at last for Lizzie Nichols. She has a career she loves in the field of her choice (wedding gown restoration), and the love of her life, Jean-Luc, has finally proposed. Life’s become a dizzying whirl of wedding gown fittings—not necessarily her own—as Lizzie prepares for her dream wedding at her fianc?’s ch?teau in the south of France.
But the dream soon becomes a nightmare as the best man—whom Lizzie might once have accidentally slept with . . . no, really, just slept—announces his total lack of support for the couple, a sentiment the maid of honor happens to second; Lizzie’s Midwestern family can’t understand why she doesn’t want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future, oh-so-proper French in-laws seem to be slowly trying to lure the groom away from medical school and back into investment banking; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed.
Is Lizzie really ready to embrace her new role as wife and mistress of Ch?teau Mirac? Or is she destined to fall into another man’s arms . . . and into the trap of becoming a Bad Girl instead?
Customer Review: amusing
Having broken up with her boyfriend Luke, Lizzie Nichols was spending time with his best friend Chaz. However, Luke misses his Lizzie so he comes to New York to see her. To her shock he places an engagement ring on her finger. Perhaps it is the jolt of the diamonds on her finger, but she accepts though she remains attracted to Chaz.
Chaz does not want to lose his Lizzie. He pleads with her that Luke is an egomaniac who wants her because he had lost her and that he could never love her like he does. Feeling pulled in two directions as Chaz wants to marry her and remain in New York to teach; Luke wants to marry her and return with her to Paris as a banker. Either city would do for the wannabe designer, but right now a tale of two cities is giving Lizzie hives.
The last Queen of babble tale (see QUEEN OF BABBLE and QUEEN OF BABBLE IN THE BIG CITY) is a fresh entry as Lizzie feels like the rope in a tug of war between two supposed best friends who trash the other to her. The amusing story line captures the essences of the three Yuppies through their humorous intelligent repartee. Fans of the series will appreciate the direction Meg Cabot takes her heroine towards while newcomers will relish the jocular escapades.

Customer Review: A Real Woman–Strong Yet Vulnerable
I really like Lizzie, and although I couldn’t completely relate with her, I still thought she was developed enough for me to really care about her. Taking off from Queen of Babble in the Big City, we find that Chaz has now entered the romantic scene as another love interest to foil the happy ending with Luke, the guy who looks great on paper. Throughout this book and the previous, it is obvious that the chemistry between Luke and Lizzie is a little lacking (look at that alliteration!). It has always felt as though Luke cared about no one but himself, not really. He’s nice, he does and says the “right” things in general, and yet he has little true character to keep you connected to him, and feels flat and lacking in emotion. He panics when needed, but does he really have the depth to love someone as passionate about all things dealing with love as Lizzie? She’s independent, yet girlie, and I thoroughly loved reading about a girl that was both. Thanks Meg for showing once again that women CAN BE BOTH! In a world that looks at feminists as unfeminine, I think Lizzie portrays just one type of strong woman that pushes the bounds of what we expect–she’s not weak, and yet she is vulnerable at times. Wow! She’s human! The focus stays on Lizzie, and not Luke and Chaz, which I think works well. Such a fun way to end the trilogy.
