Summary
Things get textual when a steamy message from a random wrong number turns into a thrilling 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。

Mr。 Wrong Number。。。 The writing style is fun， flirty， and enjoyable。 This book was such a quick read， and kept me engaged throughout。 It was enemies to loves， brother's best friend， childhood friend， some texting/messaging mix ups。。。 The main female character was silly， clumsy， bad luck and the guy was nerdy-ish？ good looking （abs， abs， abs）， smart， quick with comebacks。 I guess in a sense it was a little predictable， but at the same time it worked for a fun read。 Mr。 Wrong Number。。。 The writing style is fun， flirty， and enjoyable。 This book was such a quick read， and kept me engaged throughout。 It was enemies to loves， brother's best friend， childhood friend， some texting/messaging mix ups。。。 The main female character was silly， clumsy， bad luck and the guy was nerdy-ish？ good looking （abs， abs， abs）， smart， quick with comebacks。 I guess in a sense it was a little predictable， but at the same time it worked for a fun read。 。。。more

I really loved the premise of Mr。 Wrong Number and how an accidental text could turn into so much more。 The book featured lots of favorite tropes like: forced proximity/roommates， enemies to friends to lovers， best friends sibling， and epistolary romance。 Things started off really fun， but unfortunately once the identity of the misdial was discovered， the story started to derail for me。 I am not a fan of lying by omission and that entire plot point lasted way too long。 Colin really shouldn't hav I really loved the premise of Mr。 Wrong Number and how an accidental text could turn into so much more。 The book featured lots of favorite tropes like: forced proximity/roommates， enemies to friends to lovers， best friends sibling， and epistolary romance。 Things started off really fun， but unfortunately once the identity of the misdial was discovered， the story started to derail for me。 I am not a fan of lying by omission and that entire plot point lasted way too long。 Colin really shouldn't have let that drag on and the "she's my best friend's little sister" excuse got old fast。 Olivia came across really immature and her back and forth behavior with Colin gave me whiplash。 Her quirkiness and extreme clumsiness was funny at first， but it never became endearing。 I also never fully believed the enemies aspect of Colin and Olivia's history and things felt too instalove/forced。 The last quarter or so of the book was filled with lots of unnecessary drama and the "grand" declarations fell flat。 So much could have been avoided and resolved if these two just talked to each other。 Overall， Mr。 Wrong Number was an entertaining romcom， but I didn't love it as much as I hoped。CW: cheating ex （past）， fire （past） and loss of property/belongings， strained parental/family relationship， financial insecurity*I voluntarily read an advance review copy of this book* 。。。more
