When I first started to listen to book, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take it for the whole duration. However, after the first two cds I was completely hooked, and fell in love with the lead character, who had initially grated on my nerves to say the least. I highly recommend this audiobook, and encourage listeners to stick out the beginning, and they will be pleasantly surprised.

Lizzie Nichols has just (almost) graduated from college, and is now traveling to England to be with the man she is sure is her sole mate. Sure, they only spent one evening together at the end of the semester, but it was enough to make her very confident that this man is the absolute one for her (and the accent doesn't hurt, either). It may shock you, as it did her, to learn that this man was not quite who she expected him to be. And she is not what he expected either, since he was previously unaware of the fact that she has a complete inability to keep her mouth shut. Which gets her into trouble. A lot.

Quote: "You're just not the person I though you were. And you know what? It turns out I'm not the person I thought I was, either."

Although it took me a while to get into it, I ultimately enjoyed this book very much. Light and fluffy, of course, but lots of fun. I disliked the beginning mostly because I very much wanted to throw the boyfriend (and sometimes Lizzie) through a window. After the first hundred pages or so, however, the characters get less annoying and more likeable, which makes the novel much more enjoyable.

Why I hate abridged audiobooks"
When I get a chance to buy audiobooks, I always buy them unabridged. Many good things were left out of the Queen of Babble in the abridged copy. The abridged was a disappointed I just loved the unabridged.
