As the culmination of the Queen of Babble series, I felt that this book tied up the series pretty well, though there were some points that I felt that were a little..out there for me.
Luke, seen as the leading man for at least two of the books, turned out to be a cheating, insensitive jerk? That felt a little forced for me. The insensitive part, I can see happening but the cheating? Not so much.
Chaz and Shari were a nice touch to the entire series. I liked how that even though they broke up, they still remained friends and Shari even tried to matchmake Chaz and Lizzie together.
Lizzie: the neurotic heroine. She spends one and a half books obsessing over how to get Luke to like her and then spends the next one and a half books obsessing over how she doesn't like Luke anymore and tries to figure out Chaz's feelings for her and vice versa.
Overall, I think this feels similar to Meg Cabot's other books like The Boy series and while it was a good, light-hearted read, it's not something I'll keep coming back to re-read. :)

A frothy little love story--apparently the third in a series, not that I read the first two--about a young woman in NYC and her troubles with love and career, and her confusion over whether she truly loves her fiance. Nothing very high stakes here, but it was a fun read.

As the third book in the series, you really do need to read the other two before you read this one. If you don't, you'll like the book, but you'll miss so much of the history of the characters.
I absolutely loved this book! I was a little worried going into it because of how book two in the series started, but I had to see the end. I needed to know if my predictions were accurate. Cabot is a wonderful storyteller, and I was immediately drawn into this story. There is a perfect balance of dialogue mixed with prose. I really appreciate her analogy that Lizzie is a star who needs someone to allow her to be the star while hitching his wagon to her star. It's a visual that stuck with me.
I love the little wedding tidbits at the beginning of each chapter. I have to ask, are they true? Now I have to go look them up. Holy cow! What superstitious beliefs we have...at least the roots. Interesting stuff. There were some happy and some sad moments in this book, but if you like a funny main character who has some substance in her head, you're going to like this book. The ending is perfect, and I'd like to see this series on a screen. I highly recommend this book. It was a page-turner for me, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't get bored, and my attention didn't wander at any time.

Kind of annoying at times the way the Little Lady books are kind of annoying because you, the reader, know she is with the wrong guy, but (SPOILER!) the satisfaction of her getting with the right guy outweighs the annoying bits.
Feb 2016 reread YES, I bought this for kindle, and YES, I AM SATISFIED
12/17 Y'all I reread this again last night and yes delightful as always but also there is some PROBLEMATIC LANGUAGE AND DISCUSSION about LGBT that is yikes and this is a fun read and I appreciate the meditation on spanx, etc, but also I think I am done with Meg Cabot for a while.

I love Chaz. Makes me want to re-read the books now that I know more about the characters.
The first two books were much better. Lizzy was annoying in this one.
This book was definitely an improvement from the first two. This story continues right off where the second book ended and all my thought was what was going to happen didn't come true.
