Big mouth. Big heart. Big wedding. Big problems.
It's the wedding of the century!
Things are looking up at last for Lizzie Nichols. She has a career she loves in the field of her choice (wedding gown restoration), and the love of her life, Jean-Luc, has finally proposed. Life's become a dizzying whirl of wedding gown fittings-although, oddly, not necessarily her own--as Lizzie prepares (sort of) for her dream wedding at her fiancé's chateau in the south of France.
But the dream soon becomes a nightmare as the best man--with whom Lizzie might once accidentally have slept…no, really, just slept--announces his total lack of support for the couple, a sentiment the maid of honor happens to second; Lizzie's Midwestern family can't understand why she doesn't want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future, oh-so-proper French in-laws seem to be slowly trying to lure the groom away from medical school and back into investment banking-in France; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed.
Is Lizzie really ready to embrace her new role as Bride? Or is she destined to fall into another man's arms…and into the trap of becoming a Bad Girl instead?
One thing's for sure: this is a wedding no one is likely to forget-if it ever even happens at all.
First off, I hate to say anything bad about Meg Cabot because generally I'm a big fan (of her adult books), and her lighthearted, fun writing does not disappoint in this book either. However, after the huge cliffhanger in the previous book "Queen of Babble in the Big City", I was looking forward to this conclusion in the series (at least I think it's the last). But, I gotta tell you, it no where compared to the first two books. The plot was lacking and it just seemed that Cabot was dragging the story to cover 300 something pages. In doing so, the character came off looking childish and annoying. The conflict was totalling lacking any substance and, therefore, once again, made the main character appear flakey, undecisive and at times whiney. The ending is a huge disappointment, for both the reader and the main character really. I recommend this book be loaned from the library rather than purchased.
