I got this book at Asda for the bargain price of £2, and instead of just getting 1 book for that price, I got 2! There was Queen of Babble, and this 1 Queen of babble in the big city. This one is the 2nd in the series, but I forgot I had Queen of babble, read this one first, and am now reading the first one.

The book is about a girl called Lizzie Nichols and the big city she is in is NewYork. She used to stay in a sleepy suburb called Anne Arbour and worked in a clothes shop. Not just a normal clothes shop, as Lizzie loves old clothes, and customising them. She is looking for the same type of job in Manhatten, but the City is rough and tough, and not too much call for a girl called Lizzie in that type of business.

She is staying in a gorgeous apartment with her boyfriend Luke. They've only been going out for 6 months and have decided to live together. the apartment is Luke's mum's but it is more a holiday home for when she is shopping in the City, so she doesn't mind Luke and Lizzie living there.

Originally Lizze was meant to rent an apartment with her best friend Shari, but since she is head over heels in love with Luke, when he asks her to live with him, she jumps at the chance. Anyway Shari's boyfriend Chaz has his own apartment in New York, so why wouldn't they want to live together?Surely Lizzie is doing them a favour? Perhaps not!

Lizzie finds a job in a Wedding Dress alteration and restoration shop - only 1 problem though - she's not getting paid for working there. The owners - The Henri's cannot afford any labour in their family run store, and before Lizzie known it she has offered to work for nothing! How does that feed and clothe her? Lukily Chaz knows of where a receptionist job is going, which is at his father's law firm, so Lizzie goes off to her paid job in the mornings and the shop in the afternoon.

The book is just following Lizzie's life with all the aforementioned people. It was an alright read, but nothing really spectacular or that much of a page turner.There is a situation with her best friend, and I could spot what was happening a mile off, so not that many twists and turns in here.

So will Lizzie get the recognition in the restoration game? Will Lizzie and Luke stay together? What about Chaz and Shari? You'll have to read and find out. A simple book that is interesting enough the first time around, but I don't think I would go out my way to read this again!
