I loved the first Queen of Babble book...but ultimately, there is no where for chick lit to go but marriage and the rigors of planning a wedding. Having read it all before, I was a little frustrated and bored with Lizzie Nichols, the aforementioned Queen of Babble, a blabber-mouth and vintage fashion fiend.

The second book returns Lizzie to the States, after meeting Luke--a former investment banker and "prince" with a chateau and vineyard in France. Of course Lizzie encourages him to follow his med school dream and she restores his mothers wedding gown, thus reuniting his estranged parents.

Now in NYC, Lizzie wants to follow her own bliss...restoring and "rehabing" wedding gowns. It is only natural that someone in this path would have marriage on the brain, I suppose.

I guess, what I am saying is the last few Meg Cabot books I have read have ended in proposals/weddings. As much as I LOVE Meg, and I do, I guess I want to read something less fluffy and more realistic.

That being said, I have to admit, the last chapter was great and it ends on a rather interesting twist and cliffhanger. But with the third book being entitled "The Queen of Babble Gets Hitched"--I just don't know if I can do it :-(
