Here we have your classic hidden identity, duel POV; brothers best friend romcom.
Olivia is down on her luck after she burnt down her apartment building following being dumped by her boyfriend. So she moves in with her brother and his oh so handsome, irritating roommate. But she’s ok as she’s made a new text friend who she bares her soul to (and sexual fantasies) after a wrong number text msg turns into a flirty text relationship.
But as life starts too look up things start to unravel for Liv but is me wrong number actually Mr right?
Ok so of course like many a chick lit there are no real surprises and you can figure out what’s going to happen. The thing that really annoyed me in this book is the stupid things Olivia did such as pretending to have kids to take on the job of a parenting columnist or burning down an apartment due to being scared by a possum. It’s moments like these that turn the funny FMC into a bimbo when they really aren’t meant to be stupid and well it’s unrealistic and annoying.
Ok rant over. Cute for a rom com but I found myself sighing too much with Olivia’s silly antics.
