Mr. Wrong Number by Lynn Painter

Mr. Wrong Number

by Lynn Painter

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.

I loved a lot about this book, and I wish I could give it a higher rating. It was funny, the concept was interesting, it kept me entertained, honestly it really had me feeling like it could be a 5-star read for the first half because I was just having so much fun with it. But the ending was just woefully underwhelming to me, and far too rushed compared to the pacing of the rest of the book. That being said, I'm excited to read more by Lynn Painter, and hopefully her other stories will be able to give me what Mr. Wrong Number wasn't!
