In Sweet Talk, Susan Ferraro asks a deceptively simple question: what do we talk about when we talk about love? The answer unfolds through a rich exploration of the words people use when passion runs high—terms of endearment, declarations, confessions, and partings. Moving from flirtation to heartbreak, Ferraro treats love’s language as its own vibrant dialect, full of color, creativity, and emotional truth. Rather than offering instruction, the book illuminates how language itself becomes a vessel for desire and connection. Insightful, affectionate, and often charming, Sweet Talk is a celebration of the heart speaking through words.
