What's an American girl with a big mouth, but an equally big heart, to do?

Lizzie Nichols has a problem, and it isn't that she doesn't have the slightest idea what she's going to do with her life, or that she's blowing what should be her down payment on a cute little Manhattan apartment on a trip to London to visit her long-distance boyfriend, Andrew. What's the point of planning for the future when she's done it again? See, Lizzie can't keep her mouth shut. And it's not just that she can't keep her own secrets, she can't keep anything to herself.

This time when she opens her big mouth, her good intentions get Andrew in major hot water. Now Lizzie's stuck in London with no boyfriend and no place to stay until the departure date written on her non-changeable airline ticket.

Fortunately, Lizzie's best friend and college roommate is spending her summer in the south of France, catering weddings in a chateau. One call and Lizzie's on a train to Paris. Who cares if she speaks only rudimentary French? One glimpse of gorgeous Chateau Mirac -- not to mention gorgeous Luke, Chateau Mirac's owner -- and she's smitten.

But while most caterers can be trusted to keep a secret, Lizzie's the exception. And no sooner has the first cork been popped than Luke hates her, the bride is in tears, and it looks like Chateau Mirac is in danger of becoming a lipo-recovery spa. As if things aren't bad enough, ex-boyfriend Andy shows up looking for "closure" (or at least a loan), threatening to ruin everything, especially Lizzie's chance at ever finding real love -- unless she can figure out a way to use that big mouth of hers to save the day.

    I started loving Meg Cabot upon reading "The Guy Next Door" (0330411896), a genuinely humorous and romantic story about boy meets girl. Throughout the years, however, Meg Cabot has gotten a bit too good at pushing the right buttons. Her female leads are always what we girls aspire to be - not fat, pretty, unwittingly charming - plus the usual but forgiven flaws - not terribly smart, babbling, but still loved by family and friends. The guys, on the other hand, are consistently perfect, almost too perfect for the female leads.

    Alas, isn't that what we want? A guy perfect in every aspect who nevertheless falls for the imperfect little girl? However, in fulfilling this fantasy, Meg Cabot is turning herself into the likes of Danielle Steele and 岑凱倫, and the story is not just predictable but also tacky.

    That being said, sometimes I wouldn't mind reading a book that does not work my brain every once in a while.

    There's something to be said for a good old fashion light reading & Meg Cabot has really accomplished that plus a whole lot more with this book. It was a refreshing change to read what I think every girl wants every once in a while...semi Happily ever afters but with a twist. Cabot's characters a flawed but humorous. I loved this book for the sheer joy of reading something entertaining.

    I did something on another book site that I NEVER do and that was read this books reviews. Most of the reviews weren't that great and I almost didn't read it because of the reviews BUT I am so glad I went ahead and read it because I loved the book and it's quirky character Lizzie. It isn't a gripping book but it is very light and fun reading. A total chick book.
