Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Mr. Wrong Number

This was a cute and fun romcom. Olivia was a fun main character but I found her immature at times and all of the things that kept happening to her to be a little unbelievable. I enjoyed the banter between her and Colin but I wish we could have seen more of them actually being together and not just the "Mr. Wrong Number" text conversations. Overall this one didn't blow me away but was still cute enough to keep me engaged.

Only my second five star book of the year! This book is everything - the perfect opposites attract romance. Swoon!

i really wish i could give this book a better review but it was so… just that. dot, dot, dot.

the characters were fine, the plot was fine, the banter was adorable but fizzled out like a third of the way through the book. the chapters were unceremoniously long with numerous pov changes that it got extensive and hard to keep track of.

the ending was completely unsatisfactory and tbh i was let down bc i expected more from it.

colin was a dick masked by witty banter and a hot body and honestly i found no depth to his character. olivia had backstory, but not so much depth.

it was a subpar book with good banter, that’s about it

Excited as I was to read this, Mr. Wrong Number was not right for me. The only two characters I liked were side characters; Olivia was a very boring protagonist despite being written as oh so quirky, and Colin was an asshole, plain and simple. They had no chemistry, and all the miscommunication had me rolling my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my head. Also, Lynn Painter’s writing was incredibly cringey—I hate to say it, but it read like a grandma trying to use Tiktok lingo. I won’t say don’t read this, but I will say that I highly encourage you to seek out other romance books. I don’t see myself reading any of Painter’s other books in the future.
