Product Description
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 fiancé's château 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 Château Mirac? Or is she destined to fall into another man's arms . . . and into the trap of becoming a Bad Girl instead?

It does what it's supposed to do August 19, 2008
We all know Meg Cabot isn't the deepest of authors - most of us read her books for their pure entertainment value. I have to say that I really enjoyed this book, even more than the previous installments. Ava Geck (Paris Hilton version 2.0) was a humorous addition to the story. The conclusion was fitting, and the getting there was a fun ride.
My one problem with this book was how Luke suddenly became such a terrible boyfriend (or should I say fiance?); because of this sudden change in character, it was pretty clear who she belonged with and we all knew how the story would end. Still, overall I liked the book. It's good for when you just want to relax and get away from a stressful day.
Book Review: Queen of Babble Gets Hitched August 17, 2008
I managed to get my hands on Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, the final book in the Queen of Babble trilogy by Meg Cabot. This series is one of my favourites by Cabot--I simply love Lizzie Nicholls and her spontaneous personality.
The Queen of Babble is Lizzie Nicholls, a 23-year-old with a passion for wedding gowns and vintage clothes (her dream job is wedding gown restorer) who can't seem to keep her mouth shut. In the first book of the series, Lizzie meets and falls in love with Luke de Villiers, a French prince (nonetheless) with a lot of money but not a lot of heart. In the second book of the series, Quen of Babble in New York, Lizzie moves in with Luke in his New York apartment in order to pursue her dreams of becoming a certified wedding gown specialist. She finds a job a Chez Henri, a wedding gown shop, but things with Luke get worse. As a matter of fact, they break up, because he "can't see her in his future", while Lizzie wants to get married.
At the beginning of Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, Lizzie wakes up next to her ex-boyfriend's best friend (not to mention best friend's ex boyfriend) Chaz, while Luke comes back to her with a marriage proposal. Lizzie's dream has become true. Why, then, the idea of getting married makes her break out in hives? And why does she feel all flustered when she sees Chaz, who is totally against her marrying Luke?
Of course, all will turn out right in the end, and our Lizzie will have her happy ending, together with a much-deserved success in her career. Queen of Babble Gets Hitched is pure chick-lit at its best. With Meg Cabot's irony and gift in telling Lizzie's story, you are guaranteed for a light, fun reading.
I loved this book. I'd recommend to all Cabot fans, and to all the lovers of the chick-lit genre.
Great end for the trilogy August 10, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. I have read the previous two books in this trilogy and Lizzy has admittedly annoyed me greatly at times. I feel like she really grew up in this book and stopped being so superficial and whiny. I've read all of Meg Cabot's adult chick lit books, and they are all of the very fluffy variety, but still enjoyable for a fast read and Queen of Babble Gets Hitched does not disappoint. This is a great end to the trilogy and to be honest, I found myself liking Lizzy so much more that I wish that the series would continue for a few more books! I would really like to see where the new take-charge Lizzy goes.

Meg Cabot never fails at producing a book that I can't put down. This book gives a plot follow up and summary I had hoped for. Though I would have liked to have seen a little bit more sexual tension.

Title: Queen of Babble Gets Hitched
Author: Meg Cabot
Rating: 3/5
Good:
Meg Cabot is hilariously funny... but that's nothing new with this novel. The third Queen of Babble novel is just as hilarious as the first two, and also just as easy of a read. Lizzie's character has always made me laugh, simply because she creates so many problems for herself. But Meg Cabot's voice in the novel is apparent, as is the fact that there will be a happy ending. This book was just cute and fun, an excellent beach/summer read.
Bad:
Uh-oh, here we go. I'll admit it, I liked this book. But I'm also not afraid to admit that it had it's flaws. Compared to the first two books, I thought this one was not nearly as good as it could have been. It was funny, but not as laugh-out-loud-hilarious as I expected. And the outcome was so obvious from the beginning, and while I was reading I was sort of hoping for another unexpected ending like in the second book, simply because I wanted to be proved wrong.
I was disappointed, though, that the book was so predictable. I'd still recommend the series, but this book was a bit disappointing.
