Funny, sweet and full of excitement!

Looking at the cover I wasn’t to excited about the book but I Love Lisa Wingate. She surprised me this book was awesome at times I was just laughing out loud. This can get you some odd looks when your in Walmart. Good clean book! Thanks Lisa! For giving me something that I can enjoy listening to and not feel guilty for doing so.

Delightful

When I began looking at this selection, there was only one review posted, and it was negative. Then I looked through some kindle reviews and decided to go ahead and purchase Talk of the Town. I found it to be a light, delightfully entertaining story. Glad I ignored the negative review that called it boring. Since that reviewer said it was purchased to be a relaxing, bedtime sleep-aid, I assume the reviewer, drifting off to sleep, didn't really listen.

Enjoyable listen

This was a light, easy, well woven story. Took me a while to engage with the narrator’s Texas “accents”, ( and I’m born and raised in Texas). I will likely read more from this author and this series.

Talk of the town

I loved the ending. It wasn’t so rushed as some of her other book endings seem to be.
