About this listen

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?

Critic Reviews

"The Accidental Text will have you swooning, laughing, and even shedding a few tears. It's absolute perfection." (Jennifer Peel, USA Today best-selling author)

"Delightful, heartfelt, and addictive. I loved this book so much!" (Whitney Dineen, best-selling author of the Creek Water Series)

A sweet story which reminded me of the movie, Love Again (in that two people fall in love due to the main female character continuing to send texts to someone who’d passed away as something like therapy, and falls in love with the person who now owns the number). But this story hits deeper. The characters are easily relatable and likeable, and there were some tender moments as they both dealt with their grief. While there was a repetitive part (where the narrator had to repeat a phone number several times due to the characters sending texts back and forth), the rest of the story flowed well.

Sweet and heartwarming

If you like slow burn, and lots of whinging, go for it. DNF. Repeating phone numbers for a good 5mins is not conducive to enjoyment.

Sooooo slow.
