Queen of Babble Gets Hitched Audiobook Summary

Big mouth. Big heart.

Big wedding. Big problems.

It’s the wedding of the century!

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, Jean-Luc, 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 fiance’s chateau in the south of France.

But the dream soon becomes a nightmare as 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 the maid of honor happens to second; Lizzie’s Midwestern family can’t understand why she doesn’t want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future, oh-so-proper French in-laws seem to be slowly trying to lure the groom away from medical school and back into investment banking; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed.

Is Lizzie really ready to embrace her new role as wife and mistress of Chateau Mirac? Or is she destined to fall into another man’s arms . . . and into the trap of becoming a Bad Girl instead?

** spoiler alert ** Before I begin this review, please note that this has spoilers that will apply to all three books in this series. I don't normally do spoilers, but I feel their appropriate for this one as what I'm spoiling is part of the reason I liked this so much. Keep reading at your own risk...Ready?As the first book in the series offered happy cotton candy reading material the third installment was no different. Lizzie, the main character, has however grown up quite a bit and things have changed a bit. She's become fairly well known for her designs and refurbs of wedding dresses, so much so that a well known tabloid celebrity (very Paris Hilton though more likable)has commissioned her for an original design. Leaving off from the book prior, Lizzie has spent the night with Chaz, her best friend's ex and her boyfriend's best friend. Though nothing sexual actually happened (even if it was heavily implied), Lizzie finds herself in a dilemma when her commitment-phobe lover shows up to offer her the engagement ring she never thought she was going to get and had broken up with him over. Here's where I have to give Meg Cabot high marks for taking the chick lit formula and giving it a real life twist. While most of these premises aren't exactly "real life" for most of us, some are more believable than others. While we like to read about love, romance, and happily ever after, there's actually something refreshing about reading something that's a little more likely to happen on the reality scale. Book One could have given us the end all and be all of Lizzie's relationships. Anyone who's read it knows that the happy ending was her forming a relationship with Luke. As Book Three progresses, Lizzie has done the real girl thing and fallen in love with the other male character, a guy given a humorous (though flawed) personality, a lesbian ex-girlfriend, and the role of the "seconds" man. Yes! That's more like it! As a reader I could get swept up in the summer romance with Luke and two books later get caught up in another more permanent thing with Chaz. Sure, this made part of me a little apprehensive. What happened to happily ever after? I rooted for Luke alot in the first book...so now why do I want him gone from the rest of the plot? But as Meg Cabot finishes off book 3, there's more of a satisfaction in the read, a mix of riding that fun little chicklit cloud for 200+ pages along with the feeling of actually kind of understanding the main character for once. Four stars goes to this one, and it misses its fifth one because of the repetitiveness of Lizzie's inner monologue trying to tell herself she's not in love with Chaz). As a whole, the trilogy is fun to read and if a fourth book finds its way to the shelves, I'll be right there to grab it.

Meg Cabot's final book in her "Queen of Babble" series. My biggest problem with this book- and the series in general- is that the first Queen of Babble book doesn't really belong with the last two books. It's as if Cabot just decided to use those same characters in two more books, but just chose to forget about the characterizations she set up in Book One. It's almost as if two different people wrote the books....On the other hand, I like the heroine a lot. Lizzie Nichols is quite endearing, although she suffers from the same problem that all of Cabot's heroine's seem to share- the inability to communicate effectively. This book picks right up where Book Two left off, and I admit I had a hard time remembering who some of the secondary characters were. But the book was still enjoyable enough, and I might even pick it up and read it again someday. I found it a very satisfying comclusion to the series.

** spoiler alert ** 2nd Read Rating: 3.5 StarsI had to read this book a second time and review it to defend my honor. Someone, Karla who shall remain nameless, was trolling on my old ratings and poked fun at my chick lit past. I believe this person called me a "chick lit Hoover". It was a fun chat. So, yeah. BAVR used to read chick lit. Point and laugh all you want. I regret very little in my life except for the tremendously generous ratings I handed out when I first joined the site. You see, when I signed up for GR, they told me they could generate recommendations by having me rate a bunch of titles they splashed up on the screen. Like a good little soldier, I clicked through pages of books, and I swear to god that a majority of the books on those pages were chick lit. And I was like, "Yeah, I read them," because I'm not fucking DEAD. You can't walk into a book store without seeing some brightly covered book about shoes or credit cards or working a trendy job in NYC while wearing shoes and using credit cards. In the excitement of signing up for this awesome site (Hi, Goodreads!), I basically gave 5 stars to stuff that I tolerated (like this) and 1 star to stuff that I wanted to die in a fire (like the Twilight series). It worked, didn't it? I eventually found a group of book sluts just like me, and we're currently living happily ever after. But yeah, the 5 star thing is a bit much. Sue me.In Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, narrator Lizzie is ob-fucking-SESSED with weddings. In the two previous books, she met her boyfriend at a wedding, dumped him because he didn't want a wedding, and basically talked about weddings the way that creepy guy waiting in line next to you at the grocery store won't stop telling you about his personal life. I don't understand what it is about chick lit that makes the heroines act like goddamn psychos, but it always seems like weddings turn perfectly reasonable, successful women into this: It's the corsets, right? The corsets block the air from reaching the brain.The opening of the book presents Lizzie in full-on panic mode. After the ex-boyfriend, Luke, crawls back to her at the end of Book 2 and PROPOSES, Lizzie now has to get his best friend Chaz out of her bed after their drunken make-out the night before. But Chaz doesn't want to go because he thinks that he's the perfect man for Lizzie. Also, no one thinks Lizzie should marry Luke because the only things she seems to like about him are his looks and the fact that he talks about maybe being a doctor to save little kids someday. Word to the wise, NEVER trust a man who talks in "somedays". He will disappoint you 95% of the time. As her feelings deepen for Chaz, Lizzie's left with quite a conundrum. Can she really date a guy who wears khaki shorts and baseball caps? (If you live in MY hometown, you can, snob.) Oh, and one more thing: Chaz doesn't believe in the institution of marriage. Chaz has a fair point.So you see where this is going. Nothing crazy happens, but the writing and characters are charming, and the book is easy to read. I still like that Lizzie chooses the beta in the end. I'm a bit of a beta whore when the occasion calls for it. They never seem to come out on top in these books, and I like an underdog. Lizzie's Gram is a real delight, too. I love it when old people lose all social filters and start saying everything that comes to their warped minds. Unless the old people are bothering me at work. Then I want them to go away. Not a 5 star to me any longer, but there's nothing BAD about this book. Would I buy something with its description today? No. But my walk down memory lane was a nice enough for 3.5 stars.Note: I didn't change my initial star rating because fucking with the overall rating seems unfair to me.

If you didn't believe me before... believe it now - I'm a sucker for a Meg Cabot book! A very nice bit of fluff - a true summer read. I've totally added Chaz to my list of literary men that have ruined me for real men. I'm sorry, but remembering that stupid stuff, the "I like a side of ice with my wine" stuff, is totally romantic gold. I was actually just channel surfing the other night and saw Kevin James' (The King of Queens) stand-up routine... he was advising the men of the audience to remember little details about things as often as possible - the clip that she wore in her hair - and throw them out whenever possible. It's a stereotype for a reason: men tend to overlook the details. I think I'm a love is in the details kind of a girl! Plus, Chaz totally made Lizzie (and myself) laugh, and that's the true key to pretty much every good relationship (in my opinion)! A nice third book, that's for sure. You don't need me to tell you to go pick it up if you read the other two! If you're looking for some summer nonsense, check out the Queen of Babble books!

This series was just really fun, full of the ups and downs and trials and tribulations of being out in the world for the first time. I definitely, definitely, love how the series was resolved and how much personal growth and friendship and love it took to get Lizzie there. I'm not sure I liked the change wrought in Luke's character, but if I'm being honest, he and Lizzie were a strange pairing to begin with, so it works for me in the end. I've really enjoyed these characters -- even the crazy side characters and their antics -- and I'm glad I stumbled upon this series.

Cabot surprised me a bit with this series, but I really enjoyed watching Lizzie grow and change. I was happy she finally opened her eyes and was able to see people without her rose colored filter, and I loved knowing that Lizzie was heading for a great future.

Lizzie wakes up to the new year in the arms of..... Chaz! The streaming images of her memory flashes to the night before and the beard burn all over her face only confirms it! As if she isn’t surprised enough, who would happen to turn up on her doorstep, but Luke. And just like that he slips a huge rock on her finger and she gives Chaz the boot!So, why does she get these warm tingly feelings whenever she thinks about Chaz, and she so conveniently breaks out in hives whenever she thinks about getting married to Luke. Luckily she is so busy at the shop she doesn’t have time to think about the wedding and with Luke being in Paris she can avoid the topic completely. But with Luke’s absence Lizzie finds herself becoming even more attracted to Chaz. What is a girl to do?I absolutely love this series! Queen of Babble Gets Hitched was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better addition to this series! I hope that this isn’t the end, but I can say that I am perfectly satisfied with the way everything ended. Of course I would love to continue reading about these characters. If you are a fan of chick lit, you will not be disappointed. I devoured this book in no time, I literally did not put it down from when I took it out of the mail box! It was fun, light, entertaining and most importantly hilariously funny! Oh! And don’t forget the romance! I have no idea how Meg does it, but she does it and does it well. Lizzie Nichols’ fans rejoice!!

The series conclusion didn't disappoint.After Luke admits to Lizzie that he doesn't see a future with her, she moves out of the apartment, devastated. She can't believe she dreamt of becoming his wife (she designs wedding dresses for a living). Then Chaz, Luke's best friend reveals his feelings for her and they spend the night together. But when Luke comes back with a diamond ring, Lizzie can't help saying yes. So what if she prefers Chaz... Luke wants to get married. The book is more of an interior struggle for Lizzie. The readers can obviously see who truly loves her, and yet, her idea of the future is based on an illusion that she refuses to let go. Choosing uncertainty, is never easy for anyone. But is that a valid reason to settle? Although, there were many secondary characters this time around, Meg Cabot put them all to good use and made certain that the attention was never drawn away from Lizzie and her beau. If someone truly loves you, they stick by you through the good and bad times.

This book was my least favorite among the Queen of Babble series! I was very disappointed in a lot of ways... How come that a girl like Lizzie who adores weddings and love dresses can't have a wedding of her own but a secret marriage because the guy she likes can NOT compromise on his idea of weddings!? I mean, come on, if he loves her enough he would do it for her! And how come that Luke turned out to be a jerk when he was prince charming all along! I didn't like this book! I thought it would end differently! Very bad ending! And by the way, what's up with the famous character that is totally like Paris Hilton, only different name! Not creative enough if u ask me! I gave it a five star for 2 reasons only, The fashion tips and because I love this series.

3.5 actually.I thought I'd end up skim reading this one, but actually, I got sucked right into it and enjoyed myself a lot. Fun. Entertaining, light read. I liked it better than the middle book Queen of Babble in the Big City. I enjoyed the first book and this one most. However, I have some problems with it as a series, because to me the Luke in book one is NO WAY the same Luke as in book three. There is just absolutely no way the Luke we learned to love in book one and the way he supported Lizzie and the way he was with her on the train is the same guy that ends up doing what he does in book three. ***Light spoilers ahead ***Also, another nag--Chaz, while I liked him quite a bit, actually, he didn't seem like the same Chaz as the other books either. He'd been made out to be extremely generous monetarily in books one and even two, but then in three he didn't show the same sort of attitude. Instead, it was more 'make your own way' and 'you want to stand on your own to feet, don't you'. It just didn't seem to click with the personality painted in other books. So, yes, I liked the book. But I did have a qualm with CONSISTENCY.But, as a big positive, I liked the moral dilemma, the fact it gets icky/sticky when she falls in love with her fiances best friend. I like that it works out--that she's not all perfect. That she fucks up a bit. Somehow, it gives the story a more realistic/modern feel.
