About this book

When a steamy "What are you wearing?" text lands in Olivia's phone from a complete stranger, she figures why not? What follows is an addictive anonymous texting relationship that becomes her favorite escape from her family's endless disappointment—until fate decides to twist the knife and reveal her mystery texter is Colin, her best friend's infuriatingly hot older brother who's lived under the same roof for months. Now Colin has to navigate the impossible: he's been anonymously flirting with the girl he swore he didn't notice, and she has no idea it's him on the other end of those scorching messages. This hilarious rom-com brilliantly captures that electric tension of discovering the person driving you crazy might actually drive you wild in the best way, with enough laugh-out-loud moments and witty banter to keep you grinning through every chapter.

Witty banter meets electric tension—think indie pop, sultry R&B, and playful alt-rock. Late-night texting energy with heart-pounding moments. Catchy, flirty, with underlying vulnerability. Artists like boygenius, SZA, and The 1975 capturing stolen moments and delicious complications.
