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-Ă -terre. Lizzie's landed a non-paying gig in her chosen fieldâ??vintage wedding gown rehabâ??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 Lizâ??unless she can figure out some way to babble her way to a happily ever… (more)

I remembered that I didn't like this as much as the first one, and since I've started to realize that the first one isn't even particularly good ... well, I didn't have much hope for this one. And it wasn't good.

Honestly, most of the time I just don't like Lizzie? It all culminates when she doesn't get the proposal from Luke. YOU'VE BEEN DATING FOR SIX MONTHS. YOU'RE 22!!! I KNOW YOU WORK WITH WEDDING DRESSES BUT IS ANYONE ACTUALLY THIS OBSESSED WITH GETTING MARRIED????

And why does everyone act like Luke's gift is awful? She told him she was serious about her seamstress business so he bought her a sewing machine, that's super nice!? Yes, his dad broke the old one but that doesn't mean it isn't a thoughtful gift I mean wtf???????? It honestly seems like the book wants you to be on Lizzie's side throughout this, and that Luke is wrong, and .... I just don't agree with that.

It was awesome that Shari dumped her boyfriend for a girl though, but it's very obviously written by a straight person and so, not handled in the best way. We'll see what happens in the third one, which I've never read before. ( )

Lizzie Nichols is fabulous. I couldn't read these books enough times. ( )

This is probably my favorite of the series and it's not because of the romance (which is kind of lame). Instead I really liked how Lizzie had a dream and she went after it singlemindedly. I loved how she genuinely wanted to help others feel good about themselves. ( )

I really enjoyed reading this book, just as i enjoyed the first one, but i was so happy and glad that lizzy kissed chaz and i wish she is going to get married in the next book, it would be Chaz not luke, and the other thing i love is the fashion tips and informations, they are amazing! looking forword for the next one :)

In the second book, Lizzie moves to New York to fulfill her dream of becoming a wedding gown restorer. She is joined by her boyfriend Luke, who has recently joined medical school. Luke asks Lizzie to move in with him into his mother's pied-a-terre on Fifth Avenue. Lizzie agrees and moves in with him, but her best friend Shari who is currently staying with her boyfriend Chaz, disapproves of Lizzie moving in with Luke during the first months of their relationship. Lizzie later begins to work as a secretary for Chaz's father's company Pendergast, Loughlin and Flynn while taking up a job at Monsieur Henri's wedding gown restoration shop, free of cost. She is later fired by Pendergast. Loughlin and Flynn for ruining the "confidentiality of a client". Throughout the book, Lizzie cherishes the dream of marrying Luke and is terribly upset when she finds out he doesn't want to marry her. They break up, he leaves for France and Lizzie vacates the house they had been sharing for many months. Lizzie then goes for a wedding of a friend, accompanied by Chaz, where they share a stroke-of-midnight kiss. They go to Lizzie's place kissing in a cab and Chaz later admits that he is in love with Lizzie even though Lizzie is confused about how she feels about him. The book ends with Luke flying back from France and proposing to Lizzie. ( )
