My Thoughts:

Ready or Not by Cara Bastone is one of my favorite rom-coms of all time. And since a few of her earlier books are free with my Audible subscription, I thought I'd give them a go. Unfortunately, Sweet Talk was not for me.

While I didn't really love the story, it was sweet. Elliot is so cute but too innocent and 'hot but doesn't know it' for my taste. And Jessie is supportive of those in her life, but also too lenient when it comes to her addict brother. Their phone call and text interactions were entertaining at times, but also frustrating since this is for the entire story. I am glad though that in the end, Jessie's reason for not wanting to share her identity makes sense.

I also wasn't a huge fan of the narrators. I'm writing this review a few days after listening and I honestly don't remember why I made a note of this but I did. Sorry I can't give specifics about what I didn't like.
