Editor's Notes and Comments:
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.

I (like most other reviewers) really enjoyed the very 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 subsequent 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 she is fairly mean to all the male characters. Why is that? Is it related to the shallowness of her characters' relationships? I can't recommend this one. Spoilerish rant in the comments.

Not as good as the very first or third, but a must read to get to the last book in the series. A very quick read.

First, let me just say that I enjoyed the very 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 (you'll see what I mean if you choose to read this book).
The characters we came to know and love from the very first book are not featured much and are really weak. I have decided to not read the third book and pretend that I've never seen the second. I liked the very first story as a stand alone.
I'm terribly disappointed because I was looking forward to continuing the journey with Lizzie & Luke, Shari & Chaz, Luke's family, Lizzie's family and anyone new that came to be. I really feel like Meg Cabot betrayed her original characters. My theory is that her publishers saw an opportunity to sell more books and had her write two more books for a story that already had it's ending.
Boo. Hiss.

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 and Lizzie to live together and keeps Lizzie from finding the independence she needs. Still, determined to be a sucess in NYC, Lizzie takes on a job refurbishing wedding dresses for free while also working part-time as a receptionist at a law firm and dreaming of Luke asking her to marry him.
This is a fun sequel to a light piece of chick lit that clearly fits the bill when you don't want to read anything heavy. Meg Cabot has a way of pulling you into her characters' lives with humor, and Lizzie is particularly engaging as the marriage-minded vintage fashionista whose head is in the clouds. Still, Lizzie's got a firm grip on what she wants from life and her skills in the refurbishing of wedding dresses bring sucess in unexpected ways. While there are moments you'd like to smack her, Lizzie is still someone you'd want as a friend, and Cabot has brought us another light bit of summer reading fun.
