Not me just INHALING this entire book in less than 8 hours.

I literally could not stop smiling through this book. Okay, when the main conflict occurred, less smiling, obviously, but overall the whole book was so much fun and the banter and wit the characters had was spot on and so relatable.

Liv is a mess of a human being, and I loved her. She is the unluckiest human on earth, but is still absolute sunshine. Her overall bright demeanour and optimism, despite her setbacks, just made me so happy and she is such a strong person. She doesn't let the world or other people bring her down for more than a minute, and she keeps persevering no matter who tries to bring her down.

The romance was super steamy, but not super explicit. The tension though was *chef's kiss* This was a brothers-best-friend and haters-to-lovers rolled into one and I was living for it. Also, you know where all the movies are like, "I see you," and it's some revelation. Colin just gets that moment right and I love him for it. 

Also, we love a book that's not overly dramatic. Reactions felt so human and so normal that it really added to the overall satisfaction I had with this book.

Mr. Wrong Number is charting as one of my favourite romances ever. I don't think I've ever smiled so much reading a book. I just couldn't stop!

Plot: 4.5/5
