So I picked this book up because it was a book club read AND it was available through Kindle Unlimited on AUDIO! I didn’t know that was a thing, but it couldn’t have been better timed, since it gave me something to do while taking care of Dante besides watching TV. It was also part of me entertaining the hope that I’d actually make it to book club in October… because momma is craving some time with adults!
My top thoughts:
Wrong Number, Right Guy was pretty funny, even if seriously unrealistic. First off, I still don’t understand how the wrong number mess really happened. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. Second, how things unfold – from the bar to the main character later getting a job… yeah, they just aren’t even in the realm of realistic. But, I still enjoyed it. Throw away that desire for things to be plausible and I had fun with the characters and the plot.
I didn’t realize it was part of a series, but now that I see it’s just book 1, I will look up the others. If they are also KU I’m in!
Who I think would like it:
So, you definitely have to be able to suspend your desire for realism. But if you can do that, I think anyone who likes independent female characters, dogs, and a bit of situational humor will enjoy this book.
Narrator thoughts:
The narration was really good – in fact, I have no thoughts on it, because it just felt natural to listen to the narrator. And I listened at my typical 2x speed, no problem. All the characters were distinct with voices that felt appropriate for them. Which means Emily Foster is a narrator I would definitely listen to again.
Sometimes you just have to swallow the little blue pill and go with it! This sounds fun!
Hahaha exactly! It was a fun read for sure 🙂
Sometimes some non realistic fun is what you need in a book. 🙂
So true! This one definitely fit that bill!
Yes I sometimes have trouble with the unrealistic but it does sound fun. Romantic suspense is a favorite and does have more over the top stuff. YES I love the audio options on KU. If you like mystery or romantic suspense try Melinda Leigh or Robert Dugoni.
I will definitely try those out, thanks! I don’t know how I missed that KU included some audio! It’s so true, Romantic Suspense does sometimes go a bit over-the top with being unrealistic, but it can be fun, like with this book 🙂
Glad to know I need to ignore all the unrealistic aspects of it. Going in with a warning helps a lot. Lovely review!
Thanks Genesis! Yes, I agree – sometimes just knowing what to expect is enough to make something that otherwise might have bothered you no big deal. Expectations mater!
