Sooo good!! I can totally relate to Lizzie. I am always opening my mouth when I don't mean to, and I am in her shoes when it comes to the marriage deal. She compromises when she doesn't want to to please people, she loves to help everyone, and she really has a big heart. She deserved better than Luc, even if she was doing the same thing he was in a sense. Chaz was not as awesome as I was hoping, because some of his qualities were kind of annoying, but even though Lizzie felt the same she felt that they were endearing as well. However, he did treat her with the respect she deserved as an independent woman, and he compromised for her in return. The marriage thing at the end melted my heart, because I know how both of them feel! Loved it!!
Did a ghost writer come in to complete this series? Because I feel like that would be the only acceptable explaination for this mess that I read. I wish I had a time machine so I can go back and warn earlier me to stick with book one and go no further as to preserve the romantic meet cute I enjoyed. I mean I understand what the Author was going for (or what I think she was trying to accomplish), that life isn’t a rom-com and relationships aren’t like in the movies. And sometimes the guy who you think is your soul mate isn’t your soul mate but another stepping stone to your soul mate who you once thought was your best friend’s soul mate…
Anyhow, fuck this book because the first one was perfect and my brain just can’t equate the next two as being part of the same series. The characters don’t even feel like the same characters, what happened? I haven’t seen such careless decimation of a leading male character since Cole on Charmed.

As I've said in previous reviews of this series, this is another example of how amazing Cabot is at creating deep but believable characters who, despite their flaws, are incredibly loveable!
That being said, the plot in this book really fell off the deep end for me. As an invested reader, you KNOW what Lizzie should/will eventually choose, but you're stuck waiting for her to make the realization. Heck, you knew at the end of book 2! Although this is refreshingly/scarily the way real life usually works out (why won't my friends just listen to me?!) it doesn't lead to an overly engaging reading experience.
The secondary characters totally made this book for me. Yeah, I care about Lizzie, Luke, Chaz, etc. but honestly Ava, Tiffany, even little Joey are more compelling
3/5

I really enjoyed this whole series of books. They made me laugh quite a bit and were a nice escape.
I loved this book I preferred this book to the second book. Though I found it annoying that I rooted for Luke in the first book and then wanted him gone through most of the third book. I would say that I think it could have done with an extra chapter or epilogue so we could find out what happens next. Either that or another book to continue the story.
Queen of Babble Gets Hitched (2008) by Meg Cabot (Queen of Babble: Book 3) (reread) 4.5★♥
This book is the finale of the Queen of Babble series. I like this book the most. I was sad that the series is over. This series is a good chick lit book by Meg Cabot. It's a little bit like a cleaner Bridget Jones chick romance. I have reread this series numerous times. But QoB Gets Hitched is my favorite and the most reread book of the series.
Lizzie Nichols is a young woman who is gradually becoming the person she wants to be. She likes vintage clothing, like the Alex Coleman sundress she was wearing when she first met Luke - who called it retro! She also is completing her History of Fashion major. She's talkative like Bridget Jones, but isn't a smoker or lush. In fact she frowns upon clients of hers that chew gum while they are talking. Lizzie also has a bad (but turns out good) habit of not being able to keep her mouth shut. That means she has difficulties in keeping secrets and talks without thinking first. I like Lizzie. She acts very insecure in the third book though.
The first time I read Queen of Babble (book 1), I thought Lizzie and Luke would live HEA. But after rereading the first book of the series (Queen of Babble), I found Luke (Jean-Luc de Villers) to be less likeable. The first book, Luke is engaged to another woman when he and Lizzie meet. By the second book, Luke is switching career choices - investment banker to medical school. Also, when they first met, I wasn't all too impressed by him. He just kind of grew on me. Like a lost puppy dog, with commitment issues. lol. He may be an actual prince (but the royalty non existing in Paris), but he just seemed too perfect. More of a mirage.
I love Chaz (Charles Pendergast the Third). I love the things he says in the third book. Swoon worthy. Throughout the entire series, Chaz is the opposite of Luke. His family is rich like Luke's. But he doesn't live like a rich man. He hardly wears designer or expensive clothes. His apartment is in a crime infested neighborhood, unlike Luke who lives in his mom's 5th Avenue apartment (without his mom there). Chaz even has a 5 o'clock beard compared to Luke's clean cut look.
Every time I reread this book, I fall in love with Chaz all over again. A cute chick lit series where the character actually has some growth and change. She's not stuck in a rut or having people walk over her. Oh and I love Lizzie's grandma. A little unrealistic but lovable and funny.
