Talk Flirty to Me by Livy Hart
Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
While I wouldn’t call this a “bad” contemporary romance, for me this one missed the mark in a lot of ways. The overall premise was cute. The “forced proximity” trope combined with “former flame” could have been a very fun plot. However, those don’t really become the focus in any meaningful way all the while too many subplots try and play out. The chemistry between the characters didn’t feel very compelling, I honestly can’t imagine that these two would actually wind up back together. Anyone who holds a grudge over a high school romance for that long is a walking red flag (never mind that the entire dysfunctional and horrible family gets in on the action!). The banter hit my personal pet peeve of just being immature sniping, the idea that this family has 11 kids by relying on the unpaid labor of a singular older daughter gave me hives and frankly, no one in this town seems even a little likable. However, this seems to be a minority opinion based on other reviewsI will apply the disclaimer that my literary part peeves might not be yours.
