Mr Wrong Number by Lynn Painter is about Olivia, who is the clumsiest person there is. Due to an accident, she has to move in with her brother and his best friend, Colin. When a random number starts to text her, she begins to talk openly about her feelings and what she enjoys during sex. Mr Wrong Number also opens up. But Colin soon realizes that Olivia is his wrong number, but Olivia has no idea who her wrong number is. Then they start slowly falling for each other in real life and things get more complicated.
So, basically, I came for the smut. I read so many good things about this book. Everyone seemed to compare it to Ali Hazlewood's books and as I absolutely loved them, I was excited to read this book. But now I am a little disappointed. Olivia and Colin miss some chemistry. Don't get me wrong, there was some chemistry, but it didn't spark. I couldn't connect with Olivia at all. She only wants to hear what she believes is right. There were so many problems in this book between Olivia and Colin that could have been easily resolved by talking to each other. The sex scenes were steamy, but not as steamy as everyone made it sound.
This book just wasn't what I thought it would be. It wasn't bad, but I expected something different.
