Mr. Wrong Number

This hit in all the cheesy-romantic-kicking-my feet-up-giggling-feels

Wonderfully entertaining

Their banter had me laughing out loud and the way this man was the biggest simp at the end - we love to see it

It was okay. The characters seem a little immature for their age.

This was such a cute read. I love me a Lynn Painter book.

1/5 The heroine needs to go back to kindergarten.

Super fast paced, funny, cute and interesting!! I really loved it and recommend it!! It definitely got me out of a slump!!

I just took a 0.5 points off because I was a bit mad Olivia towards the end, but other than that it’s perfect!! I love Lynn’s writing so much 🫶🏼💞🌷🌺

1 star for the initial tension and nothing else honestly. The author managed to create one of the most insufferable, arrogant, rude, and childish female characters ever. One that never apologizes, believing everybody else is to blame except for her. Just incredibly 2-dimensional. Like... her whole personality could be summarized by her being quirky. She's got literally nothing else going for her. About the love interest, he mostly was ok, if not too lenient with her and all the shit she was doing - basically disrespecting every single boundary he had and thinking nothing of it even though she was staying in his house. So... Yeah. The story was almost unbearable to finish. Wouldn't recommend.

Exactly what I needed to get out of a slump. Simple, sweet, fun! 🙌🏻

3.5 (I think) the banter was so good but the story itself didn’t blow me away.

Started: Aug 31 Finished: October 8 ___________________________ I started this book thinking it's gonna be 4 star read but it turns out it's not. Didn't really connect with the main characters and their chemistry is 0

** spoiler alert ** No one told me this book was this good! Love the story, the story was simple itself, a good written brother’s bestfriend trope, Liv who was always in immense bad luck finally found her luck!

this was a pretty slow burn at the beginning, which is why it took me forever to get halfway through it! i think this is one of my first slow burns so it’s not the books fault that it got a 3 star rating 😅 i just realized that i’m not a fan of it. another thing i didn’t absolutely love was how quickly col forgave liv for throwing his feelings in his face :( maybe it’s a me thing but i didn’t think that him not telling her that he was mr. wrong number was that big of a deal? like yeah it’d be shitty but they were basically in a relationship! who cares at that point ?? :/ i have absolutely no complaints about colin he was my fav <3 he was treating liv so good and really was so into her!! i love books where the men fall hard & i ate this up (after they finally kissed lool)!!

i expected more bc i loved the better than the movies

I really thought I was going to like the book, I wasn’t looking for something serious when I picked it up and I read a lot of good reviews. How ever the more I read the more I disliked the book. I don’t know whether to blame it on Lyra’s writing or not because I’m not that versed when it comes to reading books, or whether it’s just because I hated the MC’s personality. To put it simply she Fs up and gets upset when people call her out on it. She was annoying as hell which made it difficult to enjoy the book. I thought by the end we would see some development in her character but she was still the exact same childish person who never took responsibility for anything she did, Where I got really angry was when she wasted the ceremonial drink his sister had gotten him and she couldn’t even apologise for it, instead he was the one apologising. That was the moment I realised how angry I was, and btw she did this her first night there. Like have some respect??? Even at the end when she was “trying to apologise” she did not once utter the words. I just couldn’t understand why she blamed everyone for her problems and never once thought “maybe I’m the problem”. The author also never really unpacked a lot of things, her brother was like a side character who was never there despite him being the person she lived with and friends would suddenly pop in for a second, i wish there was more development with her other relationships. I did really like the progression of her and Colin’s relationship though, I think it could have done with a bit more tension and maybe some sneaking around with a bit more development smut but it was probably the best part of it all.

hey, this had the potential to be a great book... but it didn't make it in the end! i was so excited to pick this up, only from its trope (again!).

it was absolutely hilarious. i liked the writing style so much. it was playful, funny, easy to read, and entertaining.

the plot was good, the text exchange was funny, and the brother's reaction was the best i've ever read so far and i feel the need to mention that! BUT. it's just missing something.

first of all, the spark between them. it's a bit surface leveled, as well as their living situation. it could have been so much more intense i believe. and when they actually gave it a try, again it was too meh for what it's been built all this time. and then everything happened so fast but not in a good way. their reunion and the epilogue was nothing compared to all their path. like how am i supposed to feel satisfied with that? i'm just not. i'm left hungry! we could have experienced so much more of them together, so many more words and confessions. (also it could have been better if he had a crush on her way earlier but that's just my personal preference i guess).

i'm left a bit disappointed because i liked it so much up until a certain point and i also laughed so much that was just unfair to end this way.

Enjoyed it until the drama. It seemed too forced. I was not a fan of Olivia. I felt like she was too childish. And her immediately blaming Colin for her misfortune was so strange! What has he ever done that would make anyone, at least the reader, think that he would be capable of it. She just immediately assumed it was him and reacted. No thought whatsoever. Also, she had less than $400 and a job for a day (had she even started)?? How on the world could she rent a condo with no money, a new job after being fired, and being internet famous for "arson" of an apartment building???!!

This was cute but didn't blow my mind. I started a job right when I started this, so my mind was in a constant state of anxiety, and I didn't feel like I enjoyed it as much as I could have. I'll have to revisit it at another time.

Anyways, it was pretty good.

3.5 ⭐️

slay of a book, colin the man you are 😩

3.5 ⭐️

didn‘t like olivia at all but colin was alright ig

This was so cringe, Olivia really thought she was badass or smth, Colin was okay, but he had a lack of personality.

This book deserves more recognition. It is so underrated it’s unreal. I loved loved loved loved this story so much. Yes, the MC is a little childish and a little crazy but everything about this book is so charming. I was laughing from the first line until the very end. I DID NOT appreciate how she automatically thought the worst of him when something bad happened to her that was not related to him at all. He went out of his way to help her in so many different ways when he wasn’t even sure of what he was feeling and she treated him like garbage. The steam in this book is decent enough to make my heart happy. The perfect read for spring and summer. Read to your heart's content! You’ll be happy.

THIS BOOK WAS SO FUNNY AND CUTE! I honestly don't know how to write a coherent review about this, but bless everyone on Bookstagram who made me curious to pick it up, and for my friend Ve for gifting it to me on Christmas.

I would rate the spice with two peppers (or 1.5? Still haven't decided if I'll do half ratings for peppers.) There's some flirty banter and scenes that were either intense, cute or both, though they cut off at a certain point and we're left imagining just how much of a sex god Colin Beck is.
