Short and sweet, one of the better Sweet Dreams titles. Likeable characters in a Cyrano de Bergerac style situation. The ending felt a little cut short but still a good read.

Ah, the Sweet Dreams of my youth. Yep, this is definitely your typical teen 80s romance. It starts out in winter and is set in Washington state, so a bit of fun this time of year.
Two very cringe-inducing moments were the comment about pulling herself together--she hdan't even put on any makeup in a week! (Horrors!) And a very 40s melodrama moment of the girl turning away, the boy grabbing her, she struggles, he kisses her, and she melts. Oh dear. Supposed to be so romantic and sends such a damaging message. And this is what I grew up devouring.

One of the more unique and interesting stories in the Sweet Dreams franchise. The plot is charming as it has a mysterious element to it. The book is fun to read and sweet as well. I recommend it to fans of romance.

I've forgotten so many books, that I wonder why I remember this one. Probably because it took me about 20 minutes to read it. It's breezy.
Teenage girl gets the courage to calls her crush but gets the wrong number. They have a romance based on phone calls only. She thinks she's talking to the class stud, a blond, blue-eyed sports hero. She has no clue, because Mr. Wrong number is also a student at her school and is also blond with blue eyes.
That's probably why I remember this one.
My obsession with blonds!
Her crush ignores her at school, but whenever they talk on the phone at night, "he" turns into a total sweetheart.
Oh, did I reveal the twist? I thought it was telegraphed from page one.
This was a sweet romance, proving love can flourish from conversations, not lingering looks.

Read in 2006. Dial L for Love would be up to par with Running Mates. It could be close to P.S. I Love You but Marian Woodruff left me hanging. The ending was cut short.

It was fine. The "surprise" will be a surprise to no one at all, though.
