Queen of Babble
By Meg Cabot
Before I review this novel I must confess that Meg Cabot is one of my all time favourite novelists; she is a brilliant writer of chick lit and every one of her books is a page turner – I am pleased to say that Queen of Babble is no different.
History of fashion student and air head Lizzie Nichols had just graduated, (or so her friends and family think) from college and has decided to spend her summer with her long-distance boyfriend. There’s only one catch – they have only met once and she can barely remember what he looks like. From the off, her beloved Andy is not all he cracked up to be and she soon realises she had made a horrific mistake.

As things don’t go to plan in London, Lizzie soon finds herself in desperate trouble – luckily her best friends Shari and Chaz are holidaying in nearby France and she takes a train to meet them. En-route, she finds herself spilling out all her troubles to a complete stranger called Luke – or so it seems. Little does she know he is the handsome owner of the villa she is about to spend her summer at! It is then that the real fun begins, with plenty of twists and turns along as the Summer progresses and Lizzie is unable to keep her big mouth shut.
Luke is handsome, rich, clever, considerate – and of course has a model girlfriend to match. But worst of all he now knows all of Lizzie’s secrets! The novel follows Lizzie’s escapades as she tries to mend her broken heart with a little help from old friends, new friends and of course Luke.
Can unlucky-in-love Lizzie Nichols find romance in Europe after all or will she return home with a broken heart?
This novel ticks all the boxes and is everything you would want from a holiday romance read. Cabot draws you in and makes you fall in love with her ditzy protagonist – plus a huge bonus is that there are two more installments from The Queen of Babble which I am yet to read – can’t wait!
9/10
