Queen of Babble Gets Hitched
The #1 New York Times–bestselling author delivers "her trademark wit, sharp banter and lively antics from the first page . . . another one to savor" (Publishers Weekly).
Big Mouth, Big Heart, Big City . . . Big Problems
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, Luke, 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 fiancé's château in the south of France.
But the dream soon becomes a nightmare when 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 seconded by the maid of honor; Lizzie's Midwestern family can't understand why she doesn't want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future French in-laws are trying to lure the groom back into investment banking; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed.
"Cabot, author of the humorous Heather Wells mysteries as well as the wildly popular Princess Diaries series, has once again shown that she is a master at entertaining and amusing readers." —Booklist
"Reading about Lizzie and her gang again is like catching up with old friends. Patrons who like humorous, lighthearted stories about personal relationships will appreciate this book, not to mention the series." —Library Journal

Queen of Babble Gets Hitched (Queen of Babble: Book 3) (reread) 4★♥ This book is the finale of the Queen of Babble series. I like this book the most. I was sad that the series is over. This series is a good chick lit book by Meg Cabot. It's a little bit like a cleaner Bridget Jones chick romance. I have reread this series numerous times. But QoB Gets Hitched is my favorite and the most reread book of the series. Lizzie Nichols is a young woman who is gradually becoming the person she wants to be. She likes vintage clothing, like the Alex Coleman sundress she was wearing when she first met Luke - who called it retro! She also is completing her History of Fashion major. She's talkative like Bridget Jones, but isn't a smoker or lush. In fact she frowns upon clients of hers that chew gum while they are talking. Lizzie also has a bad (but turns out good) habit of not being able to keep her mouth shut. That means she has difficulties in keeping secrets and talks without thinking first. I like Lizzie. She acts very insecure in the third book though. The first time I read Queen of Babble (book 1), I thought Lizzie and Luke would live HEA. But after rereading the first book of the series (Queen of Babble), I found Luke (Jean-Luc de Villers) to be less likeable. The first book, Luke is engaged to another woman when he and Lizzie meet. By the second book, Luke is switching career choices - investment banker to medical school. Also, when they first met, I wasn't all too impressed by him. He just kind of grew on me. Like a lost puppy dog, with commitment issues. lol. He may be an actual prince (but the royalty non existing in Paris), but he just seemed too perfect. More of a mirage. I love Chaz (Charles Pendergast the Third). I love the things he says in the third book. Swoon worthy. Throughout the entire series, Chaz is the opposite of Luke. His family is rich like Luke's. But he doesn't live like a rich man. He hardly wears designer or expensive clothes. His apartment is in a crime infested neighborhood, unlike Luke who lives in his mom's 5th Avenue apartment (without his mom there). Chaz even has a 5 o'clock beard compared to Luke's clean cut look. Every time I reread this book, I fall in love with Chaz all over again. A cute chick lit series where the character actually has some growth and change. She's not stuck in a rut or having people walk over her. Oh and I love Lizzie's grandma. A little unrealistic but lovable and funny.
