Things get textual when a steamy message from a random wrong number turns into an anonymous relationship in this hilarious rom-com by Lynn Painter.Bad luck has always followed Olivia Marshall...or maybe she's just the screw-up her family thinks she is. But when a "What are you wearing?" text from a random wrong number turns into the hottest, most entertaining—albeit anonymous—relationship of her life, she thinks things might be on the upswing....Colin Beck has always considered Olivia his best friend's annoying little sister, but when she moves in with them after one of her worst runs of luck, he realizes she's turned into an altogether different and sexier distraction. He's sure he can keep his distance, until the moment he discovers she's the irresistible Miss Misdial he's been sort of sexting for weeks—and now he has to decide whether to turn the heat up or ghost her before things get messy.

"Imagine your life going up in a fire, literally, you find yourself an exit by a text from Mr. Wrong Number. Olivia finds herself continuous confidence in a stranger only to find out he is the one person she is supposed dislike and has always treated her like a little kid he sees her as in return. This book was humorous and steamy had a lot of fun finding myself not able to set it down !"
"this one was cute! it has the brothers best friend and forced proximity tropes. there’s a lot of cute banter and obviously the texting aspect of it was cute! I like that the main character’s klutziness was sort of unraveled - it always irks me when she’s just klutzy as part of her personality with no reason. All in all - it was a cute and fairly spicy read! I enjoyed it!!"
"I liked this book as I laughed out loud quite a few times as well as swooned. It is really cute and kind of spicy and a great rom-com read. However, as much as I enjoyed this book and could not stop flipping its pages, the main characters did kind of annoy me as I feel like Colin did not handle the whole Mr. Wrong number thing well and I honestly thought sometimes he was just downright mean and I love Olivia but at times, she was a little bit annoying. As the book continues, I feel like they both matured and became the better people they needed to be so that was nice to see as I understand we are all flawed so it’s nice to see characters’ flaws exposed and worked on but some flaws did seem to permeate throughout the book. All in all though, I love Lynn Painter and I can’t wait to read another one of her books!"

"3.5/5
This one was so cringe at times, and the writing wasn't all that good, but it was funny and fun at some parts The banter was good for most of it, but all in all, the romance between them wasn't that believable for me. I liked the forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers trope and the whole random number texting thing but I would probably recommend other romance books over this one."
"This was literally a romcom story with a clumsy vs order characters. I enjoyed reading the banter of Colin and Olivia. They are so cute together. Just what I needed after a long day studying about nephrology and the urinary system LOL 😂 😊❤️ Defined by Taylor swifts song Red “ Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted
Was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words
To your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword
And realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out
That love could be that strong”

"3/5 stars. I really liked it at first. Their love was so fun and interesting. And then they had like 2 sex scenes that weren’t just quickly passed through. I wanted it to end in a healthy relationship which it may but I don’t like they just went straight into having sex twice. Idk, just weird for me"
