One wrong number. Two stubborn hearts. And a whole lot of texts in between.
Scarlett Simmons apologizes for everything. For existing, for speaking up, for accidentally dousing grumpy British football managers in scalding coffee. Her therapist says it's a problem. Her ex said she was "too much." So when she lands in Manchester to resurrect England's worst football club from PR hell, she's determined to be less... herself.
Except she can't seem to stop clashing with Theo Ross, the club's infuriatingly proper manager who wears ties like armor and treats her American optimism like a personal offense. He's all cool professionalism and withering glances. She's all big ideas and nervous necklace-fiddling. They're a disaster.
But then there's the mystery man she's been texting since she landed. A wrong number that turned into late-night conversations, random questions about eye color and neckties, and a connection so easy it makes her forget to apologize. With him, she's not too much. She's exactly enough.
As the football season heats up and the stakes get higher, Scarlett finds herself caught between the job that could make her career and the feelings that could break her heart. Because sometimes the most complicated plays happen off the field.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I'm sorry, this really wasn't for me at all. DNF-ed at ~30%, but still flipped a bit and read the ending. 2/5.
I've always really liked the whole texting plot, so I was pretty excited going in. However, I wasn't a fan of the way it was done in this book. I don't like sexting as is, but the way our MCs did it in this book genuinely made me cringe. I had to put the phone down and step away from it.
The writing wasn't bad per se, but it was so... wordy. And yeah, I know, it's a book, it's supposed to have words. But there were so many descriptions for EVERYTHING, and frankly, it read like a junior high student trying to meet a word count. So much of it was filler, I felt as if I was getting clubbed over the head with words. Maybe it would've been more enjoyable if the author deleted literally just 5% of all the descriptions. I understand some authors will do this to help immerse the reader better or whatever, but my gosh. There's a limit, and we've far surpassed it.
Wasn't a fan of the MCs either. Scarlett was judgy and rude, the MMC, whose name I cannot remember right now, nor care to look up, was just a dick. There were so many side characters, too, and really, I didn't care about them either.
I did read the ending, and honestly, it was so abrupt??? It was like a Netflix series that should've had a season 2, but, as Netflix does, they canceled it, so we're left being all "??? That's it???" Wish we could've gotten an epilogue or just SOMETHING.
Overall, yeah... didn't work for me. I did like that the author seemed to have put in a lot of soccer research (even though I know nothing about it, so everything could actually be wrong). Give the author some kudos for that.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Text Me Maybe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I picked this up on a whim from @netgalley and I’m so glad I did! What a cute romcom!
Scarlett accidentally texts the wrong number after landing in the UK for her new job with a football league. The two can’t stop texting as she adjusts to her new role, bringing the women’s football league to life.
This was such a fun and quick read. These two main characters and me loving their tension and texting banter. Glad I found this one!
