It’s cliché but Hannah is me, I am Hannah. 29 years old, afraid of everything and living in the shadows? It’s me, hi.
This book was so beautiful in the way that we watched Hannah bloom into herself, not into somebody that she wasn’t, not into somebody that other people wanted her to be, into herself. Her endless bravery was so inspiring and, though I can’t imagine putting myself out there in any way like Hannah did, it did make me think. The worst that can happen is someone rejects me. Sure, that’s reason enough for me to never try anything, but I’m so glad that Hannah kept going and accepted everything that was thrown her way, regardless of how utterly mortifying it was. She didn’t die. In fact, by accepting those embarrassing moments, she was truly living. Incredible.
Wyatt, oh Wyatt. What a gem. I don’t feel like I know him well enough and that makes me so sad. I have so many questions. In fact, many similar questions to those I have about Emmett. How did he grow up? I know what made him favour the ‘temporary’ but I feel like you need to have a certain disposition to really believe what he did. Again, similar to Emmett, when you grow up in a family as loving as the Rhodes’, how do you become such a commitmentphobe? It doesn’t make sense to me at all.
Nevertheless, Wyatt is an angel in surfer’s clothing (or lack thereof…). He is kind, thoughtful, and so brave too in his own ways. Not caring what people think (to the right extent) and living your life to be free is beautiful. It’s evident that Wyatt truly cares about people, and he’s a charming character to read. I want to see him so happy.
The Wrong Mr. Right is romantic, funny and inspiring. I loved it. I miss it. I want more.

some of the characters felt like cheap props (thérèse especially) which was really ironic in a book that preaches about diversity and inclusion multiple times; characters that are pretty much caricatures are one of my biggest pet peeves in writing. i could go on forever but to keep it simple it feels like a lot of characters written for representation (often the best friend/other supporting character) are super shallow and purely there to tick off a box - i guess it's not 'that deep' because the stereotypes were based on her being french but the way she's stereotyped reminds me of the way minorities in general are written as shallow overexaggerated caricatures everywhere i look. as well as being annoying it's also just very lazy and i'm tired of it.

My eyebrows pinched together. She didn’t need to change a thing. She was adorable, with her pretty eyes and sweet little mouth. Even her glasses were cute in that dorky-girl way. The collar of her sweater was pulled to the side and a pale pink bra strap peeked out, and my gaze raked down her form. At Emmett’s wedding, I was going to ask her to dance but every time I tried, she had disappeared. A pang of regret hit me in the chest. I should have tried harder to ask her to dance at the wedding. Her wanting to change bummed me out.

The confident surfer teaches the quiet book lover to be a "hot girl" (her exact words), and in exchange, she helps him with his surfing career by upping his social media presence in hopes of going Pro. I adore Hannah & Wyatt's relationship and how they brought out the best in each other. Not to mention Hannah's relationship with her father strengthening by the end.
There is a specific after- camping scene that had me cackling out loud & will now live rent free in my head until the end of time. Honestly one of the funniest scenes that would've had me (personally) withering away on the next beachy breeze.
Please pick up this series when you need a good laugh because Stephanie Archer delivers. Every. Time.
I am very eager to pick up Holden's story next!!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
small town
friends to lovers
bedroom lessons
lots of laugh out loud moments
forced proximity
one tent = one bed situation
he takes care of her
"good girl" x9

This book makes me believe that you CAN show characters falling in love instead of just telling us they love each other. That is one of my BIGGEST complaints with romance books, the author will write it in a way where the characters “love each other” but not show us how they got there. Over a month or so of existing near each other where we only see them interacting a few times makes it hard to believe. but this book to me at least seems to take a span of like 2-3 months and yes we don’t see the whole time but it goes from around June /July to September at least I’m pretty sure but i might be wrong
Books like, icebreaker, a million kisses in your lifetime, the flatshare(a better love is blind tbh), all rhodes lead here show the love growing between two characters well.
this has just turned into a rant about authors not showing how the character fall in love well which don’t get me wrong i do enjoy books that have that “problem” it’s just less believable.
okay anyway enjoyed this book idk if i enjoyed it more then That Kind of Guy but i will be reading in your dreams holden rhodes next i think so.
