About this listen

Lizzie Nichols is back, pounding the New York City pavement and looking for a job, a place to live, and her proper place in the universe (not necessarily in that order).

"Summer Fling" Luke's use of the "L" (Living Together) word has her happily abandoning plans to share a one-room walk-up with best friend Shari in exchange for cohabitation with the love of her life in his mom's ritzy Fifth Avenue pied-à-terre. Lizzie's landed a non-paying gig in her chosen field - vintage wedding gown rehab - and a paying one as a receptionist at Shari's boyfriend's father's posh law firm. So life is good...for the moment.

But almost immediately her notoriously big mouth is getting her into trouble. At work she's becoming too chummy with society bride-to-be Jill Higgins, inflaming the ire of Jill's troublesome future mother-in-law. At home she's made the grievous error of bringing up the "M" (Marriage) word to commitment-shy Luke. Once again joblessness and homelessness are looming large for hapless blabbermouth Liz - unless she can figure out some way to babble her way to a happily ever after.

Great book

Performer must not have read or been told about the first book, because Jean Luc is an American who happens to be half French and visits there in the summer. He should not have a French accent and it is totally distracting for me. Otherwise, love the story.

Great book and narrator, but...

I thought the narration was really good, and obviously the story is great in continuation of the Queen of Babel. This is one of my old favorites and I've never been able to find it as an audiobook before now, but is anyone else bothered by the fact that Luke is read with a french accent? He's supposed to be from Houston. I feel if the narrator had read the first book in the series she would have been aware that this character is not supposed to have an accent. Not the worst, maybe I'm nitpicking, but it threw me off.

Stop with the accent

This is a sequel. Would it have killed the narrator to listen to a bit of the first book? Why does the main male character sound like Pepe Le Pew? It’s distracting. Someone should have stopped her. It’s the French Revolution with the guillotine killing the accent, over and over.
