Mr. Wrong Number

Product Information

and i know i didn't say it the right way, but i am so in love with you. and not just in love with you, by the way. i also like you more than anyone else in the world. you're funny and smart, and beautiful, and whenever anything happens to me, funny, awful, or wonderful, you're the first person i want to tell.’” After a ritualistic love letter burning accidentally burns down her apartment building, the newly single and unemployed Olivia is forced to move in with her brother and his roommate. Shortly after moving in, Olivia receives a spicy wrong number text which turns into a reoccurring sexy yet truthful text exchange between strangers. But, unbeknownst to Olivia, Mr. Wrong Number is actually her brother’s best friend and roommate, Colin. Even though they’ve known each other for a long time, their anonymous texting relationship allows Colin and Olivia to open-up to each other in new and unexpected ways. When Colin discovers that his “Miss. Misdial” is Olivia, he has some tough decisions to make…should he end the spicy text relationship with his best friend’s little sister before things get messy or should he take a chance on this unexpected love connection? Regrettably, I am not a bit surprised when this novel also turned out to be another disappointment. This is even worse and I can't help but develop Olivia's annoying habit of rolling her eyes that sometimes I wonder how she still didn't get them squinted from doing it every 60 seconds. i was gonna give this three stars, but the more i think about it... i kinda hated this book lol. the ending was so unsatisfying and the hero had a victim complex the size of the entire continent of Africa. Colin can’t believe it when he realizes that Miss Misdial, the random woman he’s been texting (and maybe sexting) is none other than his best friend’s annoying sister, Olivia. Do they have a chance to make things work in real life? Or should he just end the texting before their worlds implode?

Why didn't Olivia have any friends? Why was her only friend an acquaintance she hadn't talked to since high school? Did people stop associating with her because she thought replacing a stainless steel colander with a cheap plastic one was appropriate?Mr. Wrong Number is fun and entertaining romance that revolves around Olivia and Colin finding perfect Mr Wrong Number and Miss Misdial in each other. The story is about family, friendship, love, betrayal, judgments and presumptions, and ghosting. Smart, sexy, and downright hilarious. Mr Wrong Number is an absolutely pitch-perfect romantic comedy' CHRISTINA LAUREN, author of THE UNHONEYMOONERS Also, I like the fact that he hadn't a crush on her before but fell in love because of the texts. I think it's significant in this trope to let the readers see the difference between Olivia the girl - a pain in the ass for Colin as much as for her brother, the classical little sister - and Olivia the woman - the adult she became. Overall, Mr. Wrong Number is fun, entertaining, fast paced, and dramatic romcom with all right tropes but annoying main character.

Colin is marginally better. He should have just told Olivia as soon as he figured out it was her that he'd been texting. I realized he too was a lost cause much later when, instead of telling the truth, he went and roped in a coworker to pretend to be the person Olivia had been texting. What kind of dumb Two Broke Girls style antic is that? There’s one teeny, tiny problem. After weeks of fun and flirtatious texts and calls, one or both of them just might have some actual real feelings growing, and neither of them is prepared to risk their friendship to find out. When they have to pose as boyfriend and girlfriend at Hallie’s sister’s wedding for the benefit of her family, it’s not the alcohol that’s blurring the lines this time!And Collin, I don't even know where to start. He was an asshole, a sweetie, a 'i hate everyone but you, a nerd, and a literal bully this entire book. I really liked Collin for the first part of the book but then there were so many fights AND I HATE IT. At the start, he was a grouchy asshole but I was like 'oh yeah he's the love interest he's gonna change' but Nah he didn't. In fact, he insulted Olivia so much that she was scared to hear what he thought sometimes. That's what I like to call TOXIC BEHAVIOUR. And not telling Olivia what she deserved to go was a real bad asshole move. Now I'm thinking about it I think I'm leaning towards not liking him too much while also loving him because he was nice......sometimes. Also he broke the bro code. not cool bro! I was going to round up on Goodreads but four stars really doesn’t feel right because I think I am just so disappointed. I don’t even know if I’ll reread. Three stars doesn’t seem all that right either. It could truly go either way between 3.25 and 3.5. Idk but note to whoever reads this, please just include explicit sex. It’s really about civic duty at this point. It makes sense that this was the author's first adult novel because the main characters acted pretty juvenile despite their ages. I have had the suspicion that Lynn Painter's works are not one for me to indulge in, especially after the catastrophe from reading Better Than the Movies. But well, me with my best quality — I'll give her that benefit of the doubt. Plus, considering that this is not a YA romance, perhaps we will have something good in the house.

Mr. Wrong Number by Lynn Painter is the perfect romcom. Charming, laugh-out-loud, and full of heart, it is a sheer delight of a reading experience. Painter’s characters sparkle with personality: Colin is irresistable, Olivia is utterly adorable, and it’s easy to see why they fall in love with each other because the reader does too right from the start. I haven’t had so much fun reading a book in a long while! Gorgeous, glimmering, and guaranteed to make you laugh!”—India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels Yes … ‘snarkastic’ is a word, if you count Urban Dictionary as a source, and I LOVE it. If you’re listening Mirriam-Webster, et al., please officially add it? I digress.) A laugh-out-loud flirty read that sizzles with witty banter and plenty of heat. I could not put it down! Samantha Young, author of Much Ado About You He's determined to keep his distance, but it isn't easy. Especially when he discovers she's the girl he's been secretly messaging. Now this is FINE but it’s not that kind of brother’s-best-friend always-been-blazing-sexual-tension trope. He never really noticed her before, but his noticing her in the book didn’t stem from some huge makeover. He just learned she was funny and witty and what sexual positions she favored. I definitely appreciated that she’d always been herself, he was just a dense little pound cake.
