Mr. Wrong Number

Lynn Painter

3.59 AVERAGE


I did not expect Lynn painter to write smut but I was not disappointed!!!

Oh my god this book was hilarious.

Exhibit A:
“What do you think the first guy to ever milk a cow was thinking?”

I’m glad I never read it in public because people would’ve thought I was batshit crazy the way I was cackling like a hyena.

This 100% would’ve been 5 stars but the miscommunication around two thirds in was a no from me and whilst I appreciate the nod to Pride and Prejudices’ “I love you, even against my better judgement”. It’s just not cool to insult the women you love in your proclamation of love by telling her that you “can’t believe” it yourself that you love her… We only let Mr Darcy get away with that shit, nobody else.

Still, 4 stars because this made my heart happy✨

absolutely not. 

picked this up after reading another lynn painter book, and i was anything but disappointed. well written, stunning character development. if this book isn’t on your want to read or read lists, you’re not doing it right.

3.5 stars The book was cute and silly, very classic contemporary romance. Pretty much exactly what I expected. I really liked Olivia until about the end…by the end all the characters annoyed me lol.

It also got a bit cringe at the end but otherwise it was sweet and it did what it was meant to do. The plot was simple and the characters were pretty straight forward so It wasn’t complicated to follow.

Overall not bad.

Boring and FMC is cringe

One sitting read

I think I might have a thing for text message chains and love letters.

This book is full of witty, sexy banter. My personal faves.

Colin: What would you do if you accidentally texted the wrong person something naughty, and they responded in a way that surprised you? You were so intrigued that you kept coming back to this faceless number. She's sexy, straightforward, effortlessly funny, and you can't stop thinking about her. And then you realize this mystery woman is none other than your unwanted roommate and best friend's sister. She's a dumpster fire in real life, but what if there was more to it than that?

Olivia: Who hasn't started an apartment complex on fire, lost their job, and forced to move back home and live with their brother and his insufferable best friend? Add in some mismatched socks, and this is a typical Tuesday night for Olivia.

I devoured this book.
I opened it thinking I would read a few chapters and fall asleep. 4 hours later, I finished it. IN.ONE.SITTING.

The bags under my eyes today were worth it
