Cabot’s new book like others

It’s every girl’s dream to meet an incredibly handsome, rich and smart guy to be in a relationship with; especially if you’re Lizzie Nichols, who has had her fair share of stupid boyfriends.

Lizzie Nichols is the main character of Meg Cabot’s new book, “Queen of Babble in the Big City.” Though the book was extremely conversational, and it almost felt as if Lizzie was talking to the reader personally, it was a typical Cabot book.

It was uplifting and fit the mold of her past books. There was the dream guy, unsupportive parents, best friend (although there is a twist with Lizzie’s best friend that is not so typical after all), annoying co-worker and city life of New York.

However, Lizzie Nichols isn’t your average New Yorker. She is set out to change the world – set out to change the world of a bride-to-be.

She does everything from altering wedding dresses, designing the gowns themselves, to accessorizing and adding a personal touch. The only problem with this is that she’s an almost-college graduate with no experience and nobody will hire her or even give her the time of day.

Lizzie is heavily focused on her boyfriend, Luke, who she knew she was destined to marry since the first time he bought her a Diet Coke. She goes into a fantasy world during instances of the book about how happy she will be when he proposes – and she’s absolutely sure he will. She’s even created her own method of trying to catch him and keep him committed, to which she has named, “The Woodland Creature Theory.”

If you’re a bride-to-be or even if you have the boyfriend you hope is “the one,” this read is enjoyable because it is relateable and funny.

For those unattached or not with the right person, it’s still a nice book to curl up and read after a stressful day.
