As Shari finds the perfect job, Lizzie struggles through one humiliating interview after another, being judged overqualified for the jobs in her chosen field&#8212;vintage-gown rehab&#8212;and underqualified for everything else. It's Shari's boyfriend Chaz to the rescue when he recommends Lizzie for a receptionist's position at his father's posh law firm. The nonpaying gig at a local wedding-gown shop Lizzie manages to land all on her own. </p> <p> But Lizzie's notoriously big mouth begins to get her into trouble at work and at home almost at once&#8212;first at the law firm, where she becomes too chummy with Jill Higgins, a New York society bride with a troublesome future mother-in-law, and then back on Fifth Avenue, when she makes the mistake of bringing up the M word (Marriage) with commitment-shy Luke. </p> <p> Soon Lizzie finds herself jobless as well as homeless all over again. Can Lizzie save herself&#8212;and the hapless Jill&#8212;and find career security (not to mention a mutually satisfying committed relationship) at last? </p> 3954 book 1 7 2007 Queen of Babble in the Big City (Queen of Babble, Book 2) total:2651|5:539|4:1026|3:866|2:184|1:36| 2651 9801 3816 327 4 2 false false Sun Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu May 01 10:02:36 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 08:39:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 29 22:04:15 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 10 19:44:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false true Thu Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 21:50:03 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 22:06:56 -0800 2008 once The only thing I didn't like about this book is when lizzie's freind fell for another girl.
