Mr. Wrong Number

Things get textual when a steamy message from a random wrong number turns into an anonymous relationship in this hilarious rom-com by Lynn Painter.

Bad luck has always followed Olivia Marshall...or maybe she's just the screw-up her family thinks she is. But when a "What are you wearing?" text from a random wrong number turns into the hottest, most entertaining—albeit anonymous—relationship of her life, she thinks things might be on the upswing....

Colin Beck has always considered Olivia his best friend's annoying little sister, but when she moves in with them after one of her worst runs of luck, he realizes she's turned into an altogether different and sexier distraction. He's sure he can keep his distance, until the moment he discovers she's the irresistible Miss Misdial he's been sort of sexting for weeks—and now he has to decide whether to turn the heat up or ghost her before things get messy.

Lynn Painter's Mr. Wrong Number is a lighthearted, flirtatious romantic comedy that is full of unexpected romance and humor. The narrative centers on Olivia, who unintentionally begins texting a stranger after entering the incorrect number, only to discover that the recipient may not be as stranger as she initially thought. Their clever text messages quickly develop into tension and chemistry in real life, making for an incredibly funny and heartwarming story. This book is ideal for readers who appreciate lighthearted romance that doesn't take itself too seriously because of its blend of witty humor, poignant moments, and a charming enemies-to-lovers vibe.

This book reads like most lighthearted romance novels — predictable, with a familiar setup. It’s the classic “he falls for his best friend’s sister” trope, complete with the usual childhood-blindness-turned-sudden-attraction twist. While the humor keeps things breezy and entertaining at times, the plot doesn’t offer anything particularly fresh or surprising. If you enjoy easy, clichĂ©-filled romantic comedies, you might still have a good time — just don’t expect anything new.

It’s a cute little rom com. A bit cheesy and fast pace for my liking.
