The Accidental Text

Perfect Distraction. If you're like me, you're damn near desperate for any distraction from the constant fighting in “the” “real” world. Well, good news for you - Monson has written a poignant yet hilarious tale of love, loss, and adventure that will take your mind away from said “real” world for a couple of hours. And you'll have a blast on the ride as you skydive, cliff jump, drive fast cars, and do other adrenaline junkie type stuff... all while being embarrassed for the awkwardness of the main character accidentally texting someone else when she thought she was texting her recently dead mother... :D Truly funny book with heart, and since the only weighty real world issue is the death of a parent (in non-recently-in-the-headlines fashion), a truly great escape and perfect distraction. Very much recommended.

I wanted to like this more but the characters had very little chemistry. By the end of the book I believed they had built a supportive friendship but I struggled to see them in a romantic context. In fact, I found myself rooting for the heroine's other romantic interest, as I felt the author did a better job writing the sexual tension between them.
