Smart, sexy, and downright hilarious. Mr. Wrong Number is an absolutely pitch-perfect romantic comedy."—Christina Lauren, international bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners soooo... yeah, babes. you are a pretentious douchebag. at least own it. don’t have the audacity to be offended when you exhibit that kind of behaviour lol. This book was kindly provided by the publisher and I’m on their influencer team. All opinions are honest and my own! 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 Mr. Wrong Number was just perfection, I loved reading this book from start to finish, not only was there great chemistry between our two main characters but that element of when will they realize who is on the other end of those texts was just addictively angsty!”—Harlequin Junkie

The Love Wager is only my second book by Lynn Painter and so far her writing is fun, full of banter, easy to read, interesting without crazy drama. Basically the quintessential romcoms, without being cringey. 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 and not only that, he lies to her for the entire duration of the book. he knows that she’s the woman he’s been talking to online but Liv doesn’t know. and when she asks if they can meet in person... he pays a coworker to pretend to be Mr. Wrong Number and show up at the cafe instead. Olivia spends the whole time with this random dude thinking it’s the guy she’s been talking to but it’s just Colin manipulating everything to save his own skin. (the guy even later tells Liv how Collin called her pathetic, a shit show, a klutzy puppy right before Colin tells her he “somehow” fell in love with her— so yeah, i would lose my shit too. God forbid you’re attracted to her ffs). Hilarious, heart-melting, and hopeful, Painter's adult debut is a romantic delight that I wished would never end. The phone number might have been wrong, but every single thing about Mr Wrong Number is oh-so right Libby Hubscher, author of Meet Me in Paradise Smart, sexy, and downright hilarious. Mr Wrong Number is an absolutely pitch-perfect romantic comedy' CHRISTINA LAUREN, author of THE UNHONEYMOONERSbrother’s best friend trope i am so sorry for the injustice this book has done you. the way all these adult rom coms have been disappointing me lately 😔🤚 pretty sure my rating for this book has been progressively decreasing in the two weeks since i’ve read it lmaoo

Also, I’d like to say that not every romance story needs sex scenes. Kissing and then waking up the next day is totally enough if it's too difficult to write to them. anyways we love it when an anticipated release doesn’t hit so yeah. read her other book better than the movies instead !! 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. Olivia was another situation completely. One of my favorite tropes is the reformed mean girl. This book is similar since Olivia starts at just about the lowest point possible. She’s not a mean girl, but a hot mess. (Think of Kiera Knightley in Laggies or Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids.) Honestly, she’s not even a hot mess, but a flaming menace to society. We do see Olivia reform and I liked the journey, but she did push me a little too far. I stopped caring by the end because there were three breakup scenes and she caused two of them. Did she ultimately get rewarded multiple times for being a menace? Yes. Do I care as much about that as I do about the closed-door sex? Nope. Sue me. Two talented chess players challenge each other on and off the board in bestselling author Hazelwood’s YA debut.Anyways. My last complaint is how these two numb nuts were always banging on about being besties and not wanting to date when: 1) you've legit known each other for two moon cycles. Relax. and 2) it was never really explained WHY they didn't want to date. Well I guess Josh said he doesn't want to date a one-night stand (????????????). Colin has always considered Olivia his flatmate's annoying little sister. Until she moves in with them, and he realises she's turned into an altogether sexier distraction . . . While this book was not my cup of tea, I would definitely recommend it to someone who enjoyed the later seasons of Once Upon a Time or felt that Ross Gellar was a good romantic partner.
