Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot has been submitted. This is
book 2 in the series. I know Bookshare does not have book 1 but I will be
scanning book 3.

Here is the jacket flaps:

Big mouth. Big heart. Big city. Big problems.
Queen of Babble in the Big City.

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).
When "Summer Fling" Luke uses the L word (Living Together), Lizzie is only
too happy to give up her plan of being postgrad roomies with best friend,
Shari, in a one-room walk-up in exchange for cohabitation with the love of
her life in his mother's Fifth Avenue pied-a-terre, complete with doorman
and resident Renoir.

But Lizzie's not as lucky in her employment search. As Shari finds the
perfect job, Lizzie struggles through one humiliating interview after
another, being judged overqualified for the jobs in her chosen
field--vintage-gown rehab--and underqualified for everything else. It's
Shari's boyfriend Chaz to the rescue when he recommends Lizzie for a
receptionist's position at his father's posh law firm. The nonpaying gig at
a local wedding-gown shop Lizzie manages to land all on her own.

But Lizzie's notoriously big mouth begins to get her into trouble at work
and at home almost at once--first at the law firm, where she becomes too
chummy with Jill Higgins, a New York society bride with a troublesome future
mother-in-law, and then back on Fifth Avenue, when she makes the mistake of
bringing up the M word (Marriage) with commitment-shy Luke.

Soon Lizzie finds herself jobless as well as homeless all over again. Can
Lizzie save herself--and the hapless Jill--and find career security (not to
mention a mutually satisfying committed relationship) at last?
