=) I was so excited to read this book, b/c I really wanted to know how Lizzie meets Luke. Lizzie's not a deep thinker and her ability to fall in and out of love –which was why I thought she was fun to read about. Maybe I could have been Lazzie, well sort of.. She’s off to England to stay w/ her boyfriend Andrew for a month.Whom She feels is the man of her dreams, her future husband; however her trip turns into a nightmare. She realize he has a gambling problem and that he's trying to defraud the British government, and that there are a few other things that make him less desirable than she'd originally thought.
So now, Lizzie is stuck in London with no boyfriend and no place to stay until the departure date on her non-refundable ticket. Meanwhile, Lizzie's best friend, Shari is spending the summer in southern France, catering weddings with her boyfriend, Chaz, in a sixteenth century château own by Luke’s family. Luckily, having an open invitation from Shari, she takes the train to visit them in France.
While on board, she spills her heart, soul and a few other things she would never have said out loud to the handsome young stranger sitting next to her, if she hadn't known she was never going to see him again...until she gets off at her station, he gets off with her and confess he’s Luke, her host for the next few weeks. =) Now, that was an awkward, embarrassing but funny moment.
Of course, Lizzie's ever moving mouth gets her in trouble. Lizzie's fashion talents shine when she is called upon to help restore a vintage wedding dress and saves the day. At the end, Luke finally dumps Dominique, the gold digger. I’m starting to like Luke more, since I thought it was sweet how they meet and how he got jealous when Andrew came to France to get Lazzie back or her money, what a loser! Ok, after this book.. Lazzie definitely should marry Luke. He’s sweet and down to earth. Chaz should remain good friends; after all he was Shari’s ex. Even though I probably don't think Shari mind at all, yet morally I just don’t think it’s right. Oh well, I guess I’ll find out soon.
Yes! I can’t wait for book #3 “QUEEN OF BABBLE GETS HITCHED” around summer. I even try betting for an advance copy on ebay and didn’t win. I refuse to pay $80 for a book that probably cost me $20, so I guess I have no choice but to wait! =(
