Chick Lit

Do you believe in fairy tails? Do you believe in the happy ending? Well Meg Cabot sure does. She is the queen of the princess story and has branched out to be the queen of adult chick lit stories as well. I just finished her latest book, Queen of Babble in the Big City. It is the sequel to last year's Queen of Babble, picking up right where it left off, with Lizzie moving in with summer fling Luke (investment banker turned med student, and a real dethroned French prince) in his mother's 5th Avenue apartment. Lizzie, has weddings on the mind as she tried to reel Luke into a committment, works part time as the receptionist for a divorce and prenup lay firm, and attempts to enter her chosen field of bridal gown design and restoration. This is the perfect type of book to take to the beach, mindless and fun. Okay, I read it at the pool, watching my daughter take swimming lessons, but same idea. I've recommended Meg Cabot to several customers looking for this type of quick and easy read. And if they like it, the ending is an obvious set up for a future third book in the series.
