The Accidental Text

Average rating3.4
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?

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.
