Lizzie Nichols is back! It’s been three months since the
last book and Lizzie is in New York, hitting the pavement looking for a job and
a place to live with her best friend Shari. The only problem is that even
though she has a degree (kind of) from the University of Michigan and
restoration experience, no bridal or clothing boutique is interesting in hiring
her. But Luke, on the other hand, has asked her to move in with him.
Lizzie doesn’t know what to do. She wants to move in with
Luke because she is imagining that she will one day marry him, but on the other
hand, she doesn’t want to abandon her friend Shari, even though she could move
in with her boyfriend Chaz. So she moves in with Luke, and finds herself a job
at a bridal restoration boutique, the only problem is that the job doesn’t pay.
But Chaz – what a guy he is – tells her that his dad’s law
firm is looking for a morning secretary and it pays $20 an hour! Considering
the tasks that I read that she had to do for this secretary position, I
wouldn’t mind having her job. I mean, honestly…
The usual drama ensues because of Lizzie’s big mouth, but
gah. I’m sorry, I’m happy for Lizzie that her non-paying gig at the wedding
restoration boutique played out well for her. I even liked the fact that Chaz
and Shari broke up – they totally weren’t right for each other – but the thing
that kills me is Lizzie’s assumption that Luke is going to marry her. I was
also pissed with Luke’s reaction when she finally reveals that fact. “I’m not
going after you.”
But he does anyway! And not only that but he proposes to her
too! I know Lizzie says yes – the next book is Queen of Babble Gets Hitched –
but honestly, after what he had just told her about his feelings about marriage;
not to mention what Chaz – his best friend – said about Luke getting married,
WHY would you say yes to that? He’s a tool! Yes, he’s a prince, but still…
Right now, I’m rooting for Chaz.
Final Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Great plot, story, and writing.
Just annoying inner monologue from Lizzie. Some of it I get, the other half…not
necessary.
Bookshelf worthy? Definitely.
