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-a-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.

Babble is Back July 5, 2008

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 success 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 success 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.
 great book June 27, 2008
This was a great SQL to the first queen of babble book. It was a great light summer read. The only problem is I wouldn't start it with out the the 3rd book in the series on hand because it segways into that pretty rapidly!
Meg Cabot does it again! June 23, 2008
Loved QOB in the Big city just as much as the first one. Yes it's predictible, but it's chick lit, what do you expect? It's fun, light-hearted and just gets your mind off your own problems. LOL I can't wait until QOB Gets Hitched arrives (I pre-ordered it). I know I'm going to love it too!
Enjoyed the book but did not like the ending! March 12, 2008
I was really enjoying reading this book and when I got to the end, I was kind of disappointed. I need to know what happens in the end, but now it was up to me...But it's still a good book.
Very cute read February 15, 2008
I have not read Queen of Babble, so this was my first introduction to Lizzie. All I can say is, what a likeable character for someone who cannot keep a secret. It seems she means well, but it never really comes out of her mouth that way.
What a delightful, light read...would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a laugh or just in for a nice quiet evening.
I will definitely go back and read the first one!
