Book Review: Queen of Babble in the Big City
Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Queen of Babble in the Big City is book two of Meg Cabot’s Queen of Babble series. This review assumes that you have read the first book, Queen of Babble, and may have spoilers for it if you haven’t.
The beginning of this book finds Lizzie moving to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a certified wedding dress restorer. Luke is also in New York City pursuing his dream of becoming a doctor. The two of them move into Luke’s mother’s apartment together while she is living in France with Luke’s father.
Lizzie is still a bumbling but likable heroine that has trouble keeping her mouth shut. Luke isn’t as charming as he was in France, perhaps the honeymoon is coming to an end? This book had a couple of pretty big plot twists that surprised me. Before I started this book I thought I knew where it was going generally but I was wrong. Several colorful and amusing supporting characters are introduced – Lizzie’s new friend Tiffany had me laughing out loud a few times.
I listened to the audio version of this book which was narrated by Justine Eyre who also narrated the first Queen of Babble book. She did a great job as usual. Her voice for Tiffany was particularly fabulous.
This book ended with a doozy of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the third book which I believe wraps up the series.
