Mr. Wrong Number
Olivia Marshall is down on her luck after being laid off from her job, dumped by her boyfriend, and becoming unintentionally homeless after a little incident involving old love letters, matches … and a possum. Yeah, don’t ask.
Lucky for her, her brother Jack is willing to let her stay at his and his roommate’s place for a month while she gets back on her feet. Not as lucky for her, she doesn’t realize that this roommate is Jack’s best friend since childhood, Colin Beck, who’s only ever seen her as Jack’s bratty little sister and now older snarkastic one.
(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.)
It’s a good thing Olivia has a mysterious new anonymous friend to vent to about her annoying situation. They’ve been texting regularly since the night he accidentally messaged her asking what she was wearing, and she’s become Miss Misdial to his Mr. Wrong Number. As the discussions get more personal, it’s amazing how much they have in common … especially when it comes to certain “appetites”, shall we say?
Where does this all lead, and does Olivia get back on her feet and maybe find love in the process?
Silly question. It’s a rom-com. You know the drill. That’s like asking if the sun is going to rise in the morning.
Lynn Painter has written an incredibly witty, charming rom-com with hilarious banter, lots of Olivia’s funny klutzy moments and missteps, and a heaping helping of chemistry and sizzle. Seriously … is it hot in here? My only complaint is that she could sound a bit immature, but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment.
I listened to this on audiobook while reading along on my Kindle, which was perfect. The voicework by Callie Dalton and Andrew Eiden was excellent and they brought both characters to life so well. I had a blast with this, and I’ll definitely be watching for more from Lynn Painter!
★★★★ ½ (rounded to 4)
