Queen of Babble

I am sure all of you have seen some movie where one of the protagonist does something very stupid and something that should/will cause a great deal of shame for that particular character and those around him or her. I tend to get so embarassed by the actions of characters in a film that I turn the show off for a time. I bring this up because I felt the same way when I was reading Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot.

Lizzie Nichols has just graduated from college, except for that pesky 50 page thesis paper that she just found out about and has to complete before she can recieve her diploma. She is also traveling to England to meet her boyfriend, who she last saw three months ago. When things don't go well, partially due to Lizzie's tendancy to saw the Atlantic to meet - she had known him for a whopping 24 hours before he went back to London.

I didn't really like Lizzie to much but I was interested in seeing how the story ended. Then again, maybe I am just incapable of setting a book down for any reason other than mind-numbing boredom. Either way, this seems to be an example of a book I can read but not one that I would want to read. Apparently, my tastes in chick lit are fairly specific and Meg Cabot (young adult or chick lit) just doesn't do it for me.
