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 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.
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!
I got this book from the library and it was such a kick I purchase it for my daughter for Christmas. She is getting married in 2008 and I am sure she will get a hoot out of the advice to the brides. Thanks for the laughs.
