Ask me if I’m okay. Go on. I’m not. Thanks for asking. The Wrong Mr. Right pulled my heart out over and over again, and then stood there laughing. I am vulnerable.
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.

this wasn't really my thing but i can see why it's popular. it had potential and it was a fun read in that it was easy to get through but it's pretty much the book equivalent of a hallmark movie so i was fairly bored the whole way through. the writing just wasn't for me - the dialogue felt juvenile and the prose wasn't great either. i hated the pacing too because everything felt super rushed when it came to development between hannah and wyatt so i had no interest in rooting for their relationship. i didn't click with them in general and things like him overusing that damn nickname made their romance feel so forced. the main characters also came across like 10 years younger than they were supposed to be and not in an endearing way - they acted like immature teenagers and it was jarring to read considering the main character was 29.
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.

I’m actually kind of shocked by how much I loved this book, because book 1 was enjoyable but not, like, book-hangover amazing. But this one was. Wyatt is the perfect book boyfriend–sweet, charming, an absolute cinnamon roll who is pretty much down for the heroine from the beginning. And Hannah is wonderful–we get to see her grow and change without the book or Wyatt ever portraying her as “not good enough”.
The premise of the book is that Hannah, our heroine, is about to turn thirty and decides she wants Wyatt, our cinnamon roll of a hero, to teach her to be a “hot girl” to find a boyfriend and kickstart her life. Up until this point, she’s been mostly quiet, shy, and doing what her father has told her to do. Before starting the book, I was concerned that Wyatt would be the asshole who couldn’t see the heroine as being worthy of love until she changed (or that the book would portray her that way), but fortunately, Wyatt likes her from the beginning. They’ve met before, and he says that she was basically avoiding him due to shyness, so he never talked to her.
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.

Safety Stats:
Ages: Heroine is 29 (she mentions several times that she’s “almost thirty”), didn’t catch the hero's age. Presumably late 20s/early 30s as well.
Cheating: None.
Other OM/OW: Minor. Heroine goes on a few casual dates with different men, but they don’t go anywhere.
Triggers: Some hypothetical discussions of pregnancy between hero and heroine towards the end of the book. Some mentions of the hero’s aunt who died of dementia in the past. Also some mention of the heroine's mom who passed away of a terminal illness in the past.
HEA/HFN? HEA. Married and discussing babies.

The absolute definition of a spicy RomCom and I LOVED every bit of it!
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

laicsouza's review against another edition
Huuum, it is not a bad book, but I didn't connect with the characters enough. Also, I don't like forced postponing of sex when the characters are all grown up, have their own houses and live in the current, real world. There is nothing stopping them from doing what they want to do. At the same time, sex is more than just penetration, so let's be real: they just think they are postponing something. The author did make a more original twist of the makeover of the bookish, nerd girl, less of a "take the glasses off, omg she is hot", but it always gets to me that these girls are all very in the beauty standard. I don't think that anything from her past would justify such low self-esteem. Also, the smut could be hotter, I think - and I don't mean kinkier because you don't need explicit scenes to make a book hot.
