Queen of Babble In The Big City by Meg Cabot

I really enjoyed reading the (mis) adventures of the Queen of Babble In The Big City. The book was written in a very light tone of voice much like you were talking to one of your friends. I thought that this added some warmth and personality to the characters in the story. But let’s first start right at the beginning of the book. The story is told through the voice of Lizzie Nichols- a young, zany and fashionable girl who has big dreams of being a wedding gown designer in New York City. Things do not go as smoothly as Lizzie expected- partly because she keeps on putting her foot in her mouth. But at the same time Lizzie’s ability to blab and talk to many people also saves her at the end of the story and makes for a happy ending. Overall I thought the book was quite easy to read and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. This would be a nice book to take on vacation or to read at the beach (or in your back yard at least). I have not read the first book in this series Queen of Babble and will definitely pick it up after having read this one!
