Talk Flirty to Me by Livy Hart
4.0
Piper Bellini is back home to help her mom who is expecting her 11th child. Her career as an audiobook narrator is on the rocks anyway, but she is hoping that an upcoming audition will give her the opportunity she needs. The only problem is that the audition is for two voices, one male and one female. Piper doesn't want to ask her brother, Caleb for help because he is just now reestablishing his friendship with Sam O'Shea, Piper's former boyfriend. Piper's breakup with Sam is what caused his and Caleb's estrangement, and it has lasted for years. When Sam finds out about the audition, he offers to help, but Piper's not sure that working closely with Sam is such a good idea.
Talk Flirty to Me has an interesting premise, and that alone might be enough to carry this book, but it offers so many more layers, not the least of which is Piper's relationship with her family. Both main characters are well developed and easy to like. Unfortunately, most of the issues they face relate to the lack of communication, and some of the banter seems childish and unnecessary, while the third act conflict seems as though it could easily have been solved. However, this story has a level of fun and enjoyment that not all books are able to convey. Overall, Talk Flirty to Me is a cute story that does tackle some heavier concerns. 3 1/2 stars.
