Reader's Annotation
Lizzie Nichols, a wedding dress restorer living in New York, is engaged to Jean-Luc and perhaps planning to pick up and move to Paris, but what about Chaz, Luc's best friend who lacks material wealth but seems to really care about Lizzie?
Summary
This is the third book in the Queen of Babble series, and it seems like life is picture-perfect for Lizzie Nichols at last. Her business (she's a wedding gown restorer) is going very well and she's engaged to Jean-Luc at last. Unfortunately, Jean-Luc's best friend, Chaz, is against the marriage and he forces her to consider why she is marrying Jean-Luc and whether she is willing to abandon New York for Paris. Additional hiccups are present in the form of Lizzie's midwestern family who want her to get married at home, and Jean-Luc's family, who seem to want him to leave medical school and go into investment banking. Lizzie has serious life choices to make, and if she doesn't choose correctly, she might end up alone.
Notes
This is a light, heartwarming book- those seeking serious fiction will be disappointed. If you take this for what it is- a fluffy, quick read, it will be enjoyable. If you have high expectations, those will likely be dashed. Girls will likely find the character of Lizzie funny and frustrating, and her problems are somewhat removed from reality, but that doesn't keep her journey from being an entertaining one nonetheless.
Other Information
