A super fun and subtle sequel to Mr Wrong Number, we get all of the laughs that come with navigating online dating with a one night stand to friends to lovers plot. Hallie and Jack have undeniable chemistry. Like seriously, Jack can give me a nickname that sounds like an infectious disease ANY TIME. But also we get text exchanges that'll make you giggle and swoon, the best chaotic roommate ever in Ruthie, and Tigger, king of all cats. I spent last night trying not to laugh out loud while my fiancé was sleeping, but even then Lynn Painter made me bust out a few times. And the STEAM - this is definitely steamier than Mr Wrong Number, starting with a literal bang and more than a few more. Give me Jack Marshall and an elevator any day.
