Thalia Sanchez

BREEI've always known that I'm pure chaos. Messy, impulsive and reckless girl that doesn't have it together. And I had no intentions of changing that... until I met Stanley McKinley. From the moment that I met him, I knew that I was going to hate his guts, that he was everything that I'm not, everything I despise. One mistake. That's all it took for our paths to collide and merge into one,and I can't find a way to get rid of the magnetic pull he has over me. I want to push him away, to do everything in my power to keep him as a friend--at most. But friends aren't supposed to flirt and look at each other the way we do. I shouldn't want him... but I do. And there's nothing I can do to change before I mess him up too. STANLEYShe thinks that I'm a golden boy, that I'm the perfect guy. Rich and spoiled asshole that can have everything he wants in life. I'm neither of those things. From the moment I met her, Bree Pierce got under my skin and I can't get her out of my system, no matter how hard I try to. I was an inconvenience for her, someone she only spoke to because we made a mistake, not even worthy of being her friend. But I don't want her friendship. I want her. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes for her to choose me, to keep me as much as I want to keep her. Even if it ruins everything that we have.

So this is really gonna end up me gushing about this book, while trying not to spoil anything. 
So to help myself not spoil some things I’m gonna start with just saying that I LOVED the side characters literally all of them even the one I’m probably not supposed to like 👀, but I’m not gonna get into them to much so I don’t spoil anything! 
Anyways Bree and Stanley how I loved them! Oh wow oh wow such good unique and NEW characters I felt like I’d never read characters like them before! Which is just mad refreshing!
Bree is mad spunky, sarcastic, funny af all while she has a soft side.
Stanley I won’t lie took me a minute to get used to that name since it’s my grandpas name and I kept hearing my grandma yelling the name STANLEY in my head, but I eventually stopped hearing thaT 🥴 and I ended up loving Stanley’s name for him somehow it just fit. As for Stan as a character I loved him he wasn’t really the stereotypical collage athlete which was definitely refreshing! He was so sweet and it was just so clear how he felt about Bree 🥺.

Them together! They where like fireworks! Enemies to friends to lovers and like I just loved that buildup it made them just so magnetic!! I hope you this isn’t really a spoiler ❓, but I love that the pairs conflict wasn’t based on miscommunication, that’s such an overused trope, and so to not see it was refreshing! 

I literally could keep gushing about this book, but I’ll wrap it up by saying that prior to reading this book I’d never talked with Thalia. I signed up for an ARC because I loved the cover and helping out a new author is a great feeling for me! What I did not expect was to fall so head over heels for this story, for these characters, and to be seriously impressed with Thalia’s writing! For a debut novel this was mad impressive!! And I’ve also since finishing Sweet Keeper I’ve talked to Thalia a little and ah she’s just the sweetest person! But I rated this book before we ever talked so this is definitely my honest review! 

I absolutely can not wait for the next books in the Sweet Talker series by the amazing Thalia Sanchez!! 💜💜💜

I was a bit nervous going in because this Thalia's debut novel and I haven't had the best luck with college romances recently but damn did I love this! 

The way the friendship between Bree and Stan was developed was amazing and THEN when they finally get together?!? I loved that their relationship really was a friendship until slowly but surely, they both started getting hints that maybe that chemistry they were feeling wasn't just a friends one. 

I wasn't sure what to expect from Stanley at first because I (for some reason) thought the H was going to be John Carter in the beginning and I was like 'NO NO NOOO' but it's all good lol. Stan captured my attention from the start and he really did not let it go. He is literally one of the most perfect book boyfriends I've read in a while. I just absolutely love him. 

Bree was an interesting character and I was worried she would be an 'I'm not like other girls' type of girl but no ma'am! She is NOT. I loved how she was both a comfy girl but also would dress up if she wanted to. I loved getting to know her. 

Weird side note, but I actually really liked that there was actual college stuff involved lol. Like them studying and freaking out about grades and stuff. This year, I've read a couple college romances where I was questioning why it was one because there was basically no college life. 

The reason I went with 4.5 is because I felt a bit disappointed that there was that one token Latina character that would speak Spanish when mad and would yell in Spanish at non-Spanish speakers and would then have to immediately translate what she said. As a native Spanish speaker, I have never personally done this nor do I have any friends who do this because it's so annoying having to repeat what you say. What's the point of yelling at someone in Spanish if you'll just have to repeat what you said in English? It negates the effect you were trying to go for. 

Other than that, I really loved this book and I am so excited for the rest of the series!
