Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot
I love Meg Cabot. I hadn’t really read very much chick lit until I had my first baby and one of the first authors I picked up then was Meg Cabot (the other was Sophie Kinsella). I have since come to love most chick lit (even the extra cheesy stuff!)
The thing is, the writing isn’t all that great, the plot is pretty cheesy and unrealistic, and the characters are pretty unbelievable but….I still loved it. The main character is cute and quirky and actually pretty funny. Her love interest is charming and sweet and kind. And even better the story takes place mainly in a chateau in France, not the typical London/New York setting. It’s exactly what you expect out of a good chick lit book.
Lizzie the main character has just graduated from college and is going to spend a month in England with her new boyfriend. When she arrives in London, he turns out to be not quite what she’d expected and she ends up on a train to join her best friend in France. And France is where most of the story takes place. I don’t want to say much more because it would give away pretty much the entire plot. (Which if you are at all familiar with chick lit, you know already anyway!)
If you are looking for a fun, quick read this is the perfect book. Perfect for vacation or just a break from heavier reading.
