Advantages: very captivating

Disadvantages: not good if you hate people who babble

This book, in my opinion was made for me. People at school say I babble a lot, but I'm pretty sure I don't. Still they say I do, so this must have been the perfect book for me right? Well the answer to that question is an obvious YES! I love people who babble it saves me from talking, I call myself the best listener, I hardly ever talk and when I do apparently I babble... Well I read this book with out saying a word.

Now before I go on about the plot I'll tell you why I chose this book. I happen to be 15 and I believe that is the time when you sort of get rid of reading younger books and start reading young adults/adult books. Although, you may have noticed, I like to feel young again by reading really short books and light-reads. And I feel I need the most concentration ever to read an adult book, but not this one, it was really simple to get to and it was soooooooo good I read it in 3 days. I'm not a quick reader and usually a book this big would take me a week or so... But it didn't which proves it to be a book you're looking for.

Now this book is about a girl called Lizzie Nichols. She has had a 3 month relationship with her long distance boyfriend who lives in London. Lizzie, however, lives in the states. Anyway Meg Cabot catches you within seconds of the story. With this opening:

"I can't believe this. I can't believe I don't remember what he looks like! How can I not remember what he looks like? I mean, his tongue has been in my mouth. How could I forget what someone whose tongue has been in my mouth looks like? It's not like there've been that many guys who's had their tongues in my mouth. Only, like, three."

Then it goes on about the boys who had had their tongues in her mouth. But I was caught in minutes by the paragraph above. Anyway, Lizzie is spending all her graduation money on flying to London to see her boyfriend, Andy. But considering she doesn't know what he looks like all she knows is that the guy has sent her a picture of his ass, which makes it soooooooo much better to tell the difference from a guy she's supposed to be in love with and an ugly stalker, but poor Lizzie does just that. Thinks her boyfriend is some crazy stalker as he's wearing some 60s clothing.

Andy had told Lizzie soooooooo much what he wants to do in life but when she realises that non of it really happened and that she's living with him and his whole family (Which includes Mom, Dad, Andy and his 2 brothers) and she has to sleep in the kitchen, she's not happy.

Everything goes completely wrong for her, Andy made her do something disgusting, and then tried to tell her to lie to the job centre people so he can get some money. She doesn't help him out and gets him into trouble and also runs away, and then he wants to borrow money off her instead for supposedly "graduation money". But little does she know Andy gambled not only all his own money away but also money he did not have and he's begging Lizzie to give him the money.

Luckily she escapes and finds her friends in France and has this big crush on this guy who works at the house and he's got a girlfriend already. But how will everything plan out for Lizzie? Will she get that guy she's crushing on? Will her love for vintage clothes come back to haunt her? Or will it delight her? Will she get into a cat fight with her crush's girlfriend? Will Andy come back for the money? And will the wedding go ahead?


Find out by buying the book, currently priced at 25p at Amazon. And sit back because you'll enter a world full of babble, confusion and also a bumpy ride.


Now as far as I know there are 2 sequels to this book, and trust me I'll buy and review them.

I don't know why but Meg Cabot has become one of my favourite authors of all time. There are people who like J.K. Rowling or J.R.R. Tolkein or even R.L. Stine and C.S. Lewis, but those people have never ever tried a Meg Cabot book, personally I think the adult books are soooooooo much better but maybe others might have different opinions.

Now if you think there isn't anything bad about this book I may now prove you wrong, In this book it's full of babble, which means Lizzie could be going on and on and on about something for a few paragraphs to a whole chapter. Now that's great if you're like me and love people who talk a lot but not so good for the people who just can't stand those sort of people. The paragraph at the top just proves what the book is like with the constant babble. It may draw people into this story but may also make some people's eye lids tired and heavy and make that person sleepy and give up on the book. But if you do give it a go then you have to finish the book.

Now going back to the price... Now in book stores like Waterstones or WH Smiths they'd sell it for the original price of £6.99 which is quite good, but personally Amazon is selling it for about £0.25 which makes it so much better. I may have got mine from Amazon for 0.01p but trust me you shouldn't wait until it gets that low as you may be waiting forever due to the fact that it's a really good book and people everywhere will be mesmerised by it.

Now I'm hoping that you have enjoyed this review and if you have then please nominate me for a crown, if you think I don't deserve such a thing then please tell me specifically what I should do to make it improved, if you didn't enjoy the review please also tell me what I can do to improve, I'm awaiting your comments.
