    About this audiobook

    What's an American girl with a big mouth, but an equally big heart, to do?

    Lizzie Nichols has a problem, and it isn't that she doesn't have the slightest idea what she's going to do with her life, or that she's blowing what should be her down payment on a cute little Manhattan apartment on a trip to London to visit her long-distance boyfriend, Andrew. What's the point of planning for the future when she's done it again? See, Lizzie can't keep her mouth shut. And it's not just that she can't keep her own secrets, she can't keep anything to herself.

    This time when she opens her big mouth, her good intentions get Andrew in major hot water. Now Lizzie's stuck in London with no boyfriend and no place to stay until the departure date written on her non-changeable airline ticket.

    Fortunately, Lizzie's best friend and college roommate is spending her summer in the south of France, catering weddings in a chateau. One call and Lizzie's on a train to Paris. Who cares if she speaks only rudimentary French? One glimpse of gorgeous Chateau Mirac -- not to mention gorgeous Luke, Chateau Mirac's owner -- and she's smitten.

    But while most caterers can be trusted to keep a secret, Lizzie's the exception. And no sooner has the first cork been popped than Luke hates her, the bride is in tears, and it looks like Chateau Mirac is in danger of becoming a lipo-recovery spa. As if things aren't bad enough, ex-boyfriend Andy shows up looking for ""closure"" (or at least a loan), threatening to ruin everything, especially Lizzie's chance at ever finding real love -- unless she can figure out a way to use that big mouth of hers to save the day.

      I have mixed feelings on this series as a whole. It starts off weak, but it starts to pick up towards the end by throwing a few different surprises. Which…really, a book series shouldn’t work that way. It should start strong and try to end strong.

      My biggest problem with Queen of Babble as a whole is that its bland. Generic characters, generic situations. Reading it feels like eating out at an Applebee’s—the food is good, but you’ve had it before and there’s nothing that really wows you. I will give Lizzie a point for actually being passionate about something—restoring vintage clothing—and having it play a huge role in the series. Otherwise, she’s a by-the-numbers chick lit heroine whose main goal is to get married and pop out several kids. (But not right away!) The fact that Luke is considerably well-off does not help, either. I’m really not a fan of the Cinderella concept in a lot of chick lit, wherein the love interest is financially well-off, or a big businessman or what have you. I’d like to see something where it’s two normal people falling in love and the money doesn’t play a huge role in either character’s aspirations.

      Luke’s “evil” girlfriend, Dominque, is another huge sticking point. She comes off as so obviously money-hungry that the only reason that she and Luke were ever together is because of her augmentation. And tangent, I’m not a fan of vapid cosmetic surgery, but can we please stop using that to label other women as bad? This is a huge problem that shows up in a lot of Meg Cabot’s books (I had a big problem with this in one of the Boy novels)—once you get down to the motives of the “bad” girls and the heroines, they’re pretty much interchangeable. We should be able to root for the heroine because she’s likeable, not because she’s plain or reads tabloid magazines or isn’t afraid to pig out once in a while (and then berate herself for twenty pages after that).

      Finally, the book takes place in London and the south of France, but it never feels like it. I can understand not seeing London in a larger role, as it’s only important to the first fifty pages, but the Mirac scenes are a let-down. There’s a large description of the house, but it never feels like “Hey! We’re all in France!” It’s like the book was set in a large country house staffed with Francophiles. Even the short trip to Sarlaut is lacking in description. Not only is setting a major part of any book, but especially if it’s supposed to be a travelogue. And when I can’t feel like I’m in the south of France with the characters, then the author is really failing.

      There are parts of the book I like. I like the main characters for the most part. There’s some funny moments. I like aspects of Lizzie’s character, particularly how she’s not ashamed to sleep with her boyfriend and have quickies at various times of the day. But the bland and the repetition of so many chick lit tropes overshadow the plot that I really can’t ignore it. I like it, and at the same time, I want more from the writing.

      I have decided to stop pretending and admit to the world that I LOVE MEG CABOT. I know they're trashy but they're fun, and she's just about the only author of this type that I like. Her writing isn't annoying or overdone or to explanatory or anything. At times it's too verbal or too simple but it fits for the genre. QoB are my favorite Meg Cabot books so far. Can't wait for the third one!

      Meg Cabot's newest story is about as light and fluffy as you can get. Meet Lizzie, who babbles. And who is pathetically enough, in love with a guy who she spent a couple of hours with. Somehow, extremely unrealistically, she decides it is a feisable and sane option to travel to England to spend time with him, since she loves him and all. BUt naturally, he's not the guy she thought he was. And of course once they "break up," he isn't completely out of the novel. This book was light, predictable, and at times funny. I love Meg Cabot, but I did not love this book!

      Lizzie Nichols is about to have the best summer of her life. She has graduated from college (the first in her family to do so) and will spend a month in London visiting Andrew, her boyfriend. Unfortunately things do not go as planned.Lizzie discovers she hasn't graduated after all. As part of her independent study, she is to write a thesis—a requirement she claims to know nothing about. Her topic is the history of fashion and it has to be at least fifty pages. The problem is in two days she's traveling to London to visit her boyfriend.Her trip to London quickly turns into disaster. Andrew isn't the same as she remembers in college. When Lizzie discovers the truth about him, it sends her scrambling to her best friend, Shari who, along with her boyfriend Chaz, is spending the summer in France. Chaz is friends with Luke, whose father owns the chateau that he is working at with Shari. Their job is to assist with the wedding details of Luke's cousin.While on the train traveling to Souillac to meet Shari, Lizzie meets a gorgeous stranger: an American man! Before she knows it, she's telling him everything about not graduating to her breakup with Andrew. Little does she know that this stranger will become a significant part of her life.Queen of Babble has been sitting on my shelf unread for awhile now. I adore Meg Cabot and have read nearly half of her collection. At one time, Queen of Babble was on my "must read" list along with the other two books in the series. I wish I could say it was worth the wait. Sadly, it wasn't.Early on, I thought Cabot was repetitive with Lizzie's thoughts that it took away from the story. And yes, Queen of Babble is quite predictable. The moment she meets this "stranger", the reader knows who he is and can quickly see where the story is headed. The formula of "girl dates boy only to find out he's not the one for her and then finds her true love" didn't work for me in this novel. Even though the story fell a bit flat for me, I still want to continue with the trilogy. I am curious to know what Lizzie gets herself into while living in New York City.

      bought this when it was on a borders 3 for 2 table. it's been on my bookshelf for a while and i wanted girly fluff. it hit me exactly right, although it took a few chapters to get into. gotta love a girl with a diet coke addiction.
    • 4/5
      The perfect "girly girl" book! Lite, funny and easy to read. I can't wait to keep reading the series.
    • 4/5
      **spoilers for ALL Queen of Babble books below**Are books always different the second time through? Having read the entire series, it just makes the first book stick out like a sore thumb. While the writing seems somehow fresher, the plot doesn't seem planned out--makes me wonder if the two books that came after really were just an afterthought. There was no foreshadowing about Lizzie's eventual love, none at all. Just a vicious cycle of "ooh! perfect (cute) boy!" ending with "ooh! perfect cute boy = not so perfect after all!". I remember certainly liking Chaz as a character, but never would have seen him as a potential love interest for Lizzie at all. So very random. It would have done well as a stand-alone...or should have had more hints along the way. The way it worked out led to little continuity, which results in much confusion and a general feeling of blah. The characters are somewhat flat in the first book. They get their much needed development in the next two, but at a cost of less page-time, with all the new characters that are later introduced. Rating: 3.5/5
    • 4/5
      This book was SO FUN to listen to on CD. The reader, Justine Eyres, is spectacular, and the main character, Lizzie Nichols, reminded me of Cabot's Heather Wells of the Big Boned series. I recommend this book to high schoolers and adults.
    • 4/5
      Have I mentioned how much I love Meg Cabot's writing?Lizzie Nichols thinks she's got her life figured out. She's just graduated (uh, well, almost, just as soon as she finishes her thesis...) and heads to England to meet up with her boyfriend whom she's sure she'll marry just as soon as he's graduated after one more semester and becomes a teacher. But when she discovers her one-night-stand turned boyfriend isn't what she thinks he is... i.e. he's not independent, he's got a gambling problem, he still lives with his parents, and, worst of all, he's stealing from the government... she's off to France to meet her BFF and try and figure out what to do with her now open future. There she meets Luke, who's pretty awesome and would make great boyfriend material, but the problem is he's already got a girlfriend. Oh well...This was a really cute novel. You can't beat the scenery... first England (with their wacky advertisements) and then a gorgeous chateau/winery in France. I mean, who doesn't quirky books that take place in Europe?I definitely enjoyed Lizzie's character; she thought she knew what she wanted and then learned she was wrong, in the processes learning more about herself and what she wants out of her life. It was a nice change from heroines in chick-lit who never experience any kind of mental growth in their novels. With more novels in the series, there's sure to be more growth for Lizzie and I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest someday.

      Lizzie Nichols has just (almost) graduated from college, and is now traveling to England to be with the man she is sure is her sole mate. Sure, they only spent one evening together at the end of the semester, but it was enough to make her very confident that this man is the absolute one for her (and the accent doesn’t hurt, either). It may shock you, as it did her, to learn that this man was not quite who she expected him to be. And she is not what he expected either, since he was previously unaware of the fact that she has a complete inability to keep her mouth shut. Which gets her into trouble. A lot. Quote: “You’re just not the person I though you were. And you know what? It turns out I’m not the person I thought I was, either.”Although it took me a while to get into it, I ultimately enjoyed this book very much. Light and fluffy, of course, but lots of fun. I disliked the beginning mostly because I very much wanted to throw the boyfriend (and sometimes Lizzie) through a window. After the first hundred pages or so, however, the characters get less annoying and more likeable, which makes the novel much more enjoyable.

    • 5/5
      From the moment I saw the title and author, I knew I had to read it. I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed. Meg Cabot has once again proved that she doesn’t have to rely on YA fiction to maintain her success.The plot develops very well, as do the characters. I’m impressed by how the story can be quite unpredictable. There are instances where the story doesn’t progress as I expected, keeping me turning the pages. The explicit scenes are also kept to a minimum level (not even one chapter altogether), which I suspect is so the novel will appeal to a wider range of readers.In my opinion, Lizzie is presented as an adult version of Mia Thermopolis, something that I appreciate very much. The writing was witty, and the imagery was described in vivid detail. Cabot also includes a snippet from Lizzie’s History of Fashion thesis at the beginning of each chapter, and I must admit that they’re actually quite interesting, not to mention hilarious.Overall, Queen Of Babble is an enjoyable read that will definitely keep readers entertained. It’ll also appeal to more than just fans of chick-lit.
    • 4/5
      I listened to the audio version of this book.I enjoyed this book - i recently read Avalon High - which I though was really mezza mezza - and I thought this one was a lot more engaging. The plot was predictable but had different backdrops than most books in this genre and it really helped make this a fresher and more interesting book than it could have been.The reader was fine for the most part - though her "English" accent was atrocious - thank goodness it wasn't any bigger part of the book than it was - it was so bad it was distracting.
    • 4/5
      Lizzie Nichols has a problem - she can’t help spilling secrets. When she decides to spend the summer in London with her boyfriend, she accidentally gets him trouble with her big mouth and they break up. She ends up spending the summer in the South of France, working with her best friend catering weddings at a chateau.This was a fun, lighthearted piece of chick-lit. Even though Lizzie doesn’t always make the best decisions, she’s funny and likable and I was rooting for her all the way through the book. Sometimes in these types of books the clueless heroine stresses me out so much that I can’t enjoy the story (e.g. the Shopaholic books) but that was not true in this case.I listened to the audio version of this book. It’s narrated by Justine Eyre who also narrated Cabot’s Heather Wells mystery series. She does a great job with all the required accents – American, English and French.
    • 2/5
      Lizzie Nichols is a blabber-mouth. But that's not her biggest problem. If I was her, I'd be more focused on the fact that I was a self-absorbed, boyfriend-stealing, shallow, mindless, sorry excuse for a woman. After meeting a guy for 24 hours, this idiot declares that she's in love with him AND THEN proceeds to move in with him, to another country of course, after only "knowing" him for three months. I put quotations around knowing because after the initial 24 hours, the contact she had with this guy was only through e-mail. The fact that she leaves a mere day after she has arrived because the guy isn't what he seemed to be (you mean in the oh, I don't know, 24 hours you've actually had a real conversation with him? Color me shocked.) is neither here nor there because she then continues to be an idiot throughout the entire summer. Case in point. Another mere 24 hours after leaving the love of her life, she then falls in love with another guy after, you got it, knowing him for 24 hours. She just lurves him. And that's all she thinks about. This chick is pathetic. All she bitches about is a guy. All the time. The guy might be moving to Paris and she thinks "Oh that's a whole ocean away from me". Dude, you've known him for two days, did you really envision this grand "I will love you forever" scenario? Then she complains about the guy's girlfriend being mean to her, saying "I don't know what I ever did to her?" Well, gee, I don't know, maybe you've been blabbing everything she told you out to people she wouldn't want you to or maybe it's the fact that you've been FLIRTING with her BOYFRIEND in a not-so-subtle way. Hell, if it was me, I wouldn't have been manipulative, I would've pounded Lizzie Nichols into the ground (pathetic chicks tend to bring out violent tendencies in me with the whole "backtracking the feminist movement about fifty years" thing). Seriously, this chick was like Bella with a better fashion sense. And another thing, the whole blabbermouth thing is not cute. In the slightest. Sure, on some people it's endearing (five year olds, honest-to-God-good-bitchy people), but on Lizzie Nichols it wasn't. It just made her sound like an idiot. One who can't keep a secret for the life of her. She was also nosy. She needed to mind her own damn business more than half the time. Annoying. The only reason I gave Queen of Babble two stars instead of one is because I really liked the supporting characters. Shari was actually smart (which means Meg Cabot can write a smart female, but chose not to in regards to Lizzie, which is baffling) and Chaz was just adorable. I also really liked Agnes. So, two stars for great supporting characters and for being a quick page-turner. Too bad the main character was annoying and a disgrace to strong women everywhere (I call her Bella-lite).

    • 4/5
      Reminded me of the shopaholic books, although I wasn't sure how Cabot was going to make Lizzie a likeable character in the end for her flaw. Still, it all works, and I'm sure to read the next one. Did this in audio version, and only liked the narrator -- didn't love her voice. I think she's a Brit doing an American accent, because she would say the word "been" like "bean", and all of her Texas characters sounded the same, man or woman alike. Meg Cabot is always a fun read, a nice change if one has been reading too much serious/intense fiction, or perhaps watching the news about economic crises and global warming. We all need a little chocolate in our lives, in addition to meat, vegetables and grains.

      In Queen of Babble, by Meg Cabot, Lizzie, not Liz, can’t wait to go to England to be with her “soul mate” Andrew. She just has to wait till her graduation party is over. Well it is actually her pre-graduation, because her professor just came and told her she had to write a thesis before she has officially graduated. At first she is so nervous, but then she tells herself she'll do it in England during her free time. The party is finally over and she is flying to England. When she arrives at the airport, she has to page Andrew (who turned out to be the geek wearing the leather jacket.) Once they say their hellos, Andrew’s dad chauffeurs them to his house, and that is where things go downhill. First Andrew is wearing the jacket, then his dad drives them to not Andrew’s place like he said, but his parent’s place. After that Andrew leaves for work from 8am-8pm. Then both brothers calls her fat and finally she has the worst breakfast- tomatoes! She cannot stand tomatoes. Her visit just keeps getting worse. Andrew pulls the last straw, which causes Lizzie to go to France where her best friend is staying in a mansion. She has to take a train there and on it, things start to get better, she forgets Andrew and moves on to somebody else. But will she make the same mistake with him?Queen of Babble is an excellent book. It was fast paced and I kept finding myself wanting to read it. I could connect and feel the pain of what Lizzie was going through. You could tell that since she had only know this boy, Andrew, for one college day that it wasn't going to work out. But how Meg Cabot described how Lizzie’s adventure and all the twists and turns was the exciting part.
    • 3/5
      Lizzie Nichols has finally graduated from college and can't wait to join her new boyfriend in London. She only met him one night before he returned to London, but his letters are so sweet and sexy. When she arrives, however, she discovers Andrew is neither sweet nor sexy and is involved in a scheme to defraud the governent. Fortunately, Lizzie's best friend, Shari, is spending the summer in a French villa with HER boyfriend and invites Lizzie to come and stay with them. This turns out to be a perfect arrangement, especailly after she meets Jean-Luc, so of the owner of the villa. But, as usual, things take a turn for the worse...because Lizzie can't seem to keep her mouth shut.A typical Meg Cabot book...funny, quirky, and romantic. A light, fun read.
    • 4/5
      Was an enjoyable book and the characters were cute and fun. Wish we could have heard more about France and England and not just the estate they stayed at, but all in all a well written, humorous story.I'm really looking forward to reading the next in the series and learn more about the relationships of the characters and how they get along in a new place (NY)
    • 4/5
      Lizzie Nichols has a few problems, her graduation is dependent on writing an essay that she forgot about, she's gone to London to see her boyfriend who has turned out to be two-timing her and wants her to lie. So she takes off to be with her friends in France.One of Lizzie's other problems is that she has a tendency to speak without thinking. This leads her into situations that are sometimes strange, and sometimes fun, but often embarassing.She finds herself proving herself and finding a future which is better than her past was.

      I listened to Queen of Babble as an audio book. It’s also my first Meg Cabot “read.” I’m a little unsure how I feel about the audio version of this book. I think I would have liked it in print a whole lot more. There was something in the narrator’s voice that bothered me throughout the book—a hang up that I couldn’t get over. However, I did persevere and managed to finish listening. I even resolved to continue with the rest of The Queen of Babble audio books—that is if I can get them for free from the library. Perhaps I should have checked to see if they were available before I typed that previous statement! Alas, if they aren’t, I believe I will check the books out in hard copy. I’m keen to see what becomes of Lizzie. One small note: as most chick lit tends to run the same, I don’t think I was surprised that Cabot’s series reminds me of Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series. I’m a huge fan of Kinsella and can’t really say that Cabot’s story is as strong…BUT I’m placing her in an unfair advantage because of the audio issues I had. So, perhaps after reading one in print, I’ll be able to say that she is equally as awesome as Kinsella…stay tuned…
    • 4/5
      This reminded me a lot of Sophie Kinsella's "Can You Keep a Secret" in that the protagonist spills her secrets to a complete stranger while traveling only to find out that he is someone she's going to have to interact with going forward and he, of course, is so charmed by everything she's told him that he falls head over heels. No, really, it works.Also, I loved that the antagonist is a british guy named Andy. I giggled for days. Well, at least for the day it took me to read it :o)

      The Queen of Babble series by Meg Cabot is one of the few adult series that I have read and probably one of my favourite series of all time! The only reason that I picked up this book was because, about 4 years ago, I was in the airport about to embark on an 8 hour plane flight to England and I wanted something to read on the flight. Low and behold, I came across this little gem (which I only picked up because I liked the colourful cover) and I am so glad that I found this book!This is probably one of the best contemporary books that I've ever read! I loved every second of it from the very beginning to the very end. The plot was fantastic and so much fun and the cast of characters was amazing! The protagonist, Lizzie, was so funny and I loved reading about her hilarious adventures in England and France! She was so adorable and loveable, and as I got further and further into the book, I loved her more and more. She is probably one on my favourite protagonists to this day! Also, our love interest, Luke, was pretty damn fine, I really loved him in this book (not so much in the other books in there series though). He was so cute and such a sweetheart!I honestly loved every little bit of Queen of Babble! I've re-read it a few times since I bought it and writing this review really makes me want to read it again! Even though this is an adult fiction book, I think that it would appeal to young adult fans as well, especially fans of series like the Ruby Oliver series by E. Lockhart, or people who just love books that make you laugh!
