Wrong number. Right guy?
Once
upon a time, Maggie Cooper lived for adventure. Jumping out of planes
was child’s play. Now she can’t even work up the nerve to ask out her
coworker. For a bit of self-therapy, she begins to text her recently
deceased mother’s phone—the only problem is that the number has been
reassigned and for weeks she’s been unknowingly texting a stranger her
deepest thoughts and feelings. There have also been some not-so-deep
texts, like the ones about her appreciation for her coworker’s butt.
When
Chase Beckett, the unsuspecting stranger who has more in common with
Maggie than he’d like to admit, texts back, Maggie is beyond mortified.
But message after message and night after night, Maggie realizes that
Chase’s wit, charm, and advice are exactly what the doctor ordered. Is
it enough, though, to get her back up in the sky? And what about her
heart? Can she risk taking a leap of faith for the man on the other end
of her accidental texts?
My Review: 4.5 Stars
I love it when a story takes me by surprise like this one did. I was expecting light-hearted, embarrassing RomCom humor, but a slightly deeper, heart-felt story emerged instead. The book was very subdued at the start and I wasn't sure where it was headed, but don't worry--Monson swirled in the wit and charm. And I ate it right up!
Maggie and Chase do meet in an unconventional meet cute, but the way their friendship progressed was natural, sweet, and perfect. I loved the way they pushed and encouraged growth in each other. I was hoping for a tad more romance, but the whole package was such an enjoyable journey that struck me right smack in the middle of my heart. It made me think and it made me feel. And now I'm hoping for a companion book with Hannah's story.
Content: mild romance; mild language
