Profile: https://hahafiction.com/books/i-ve-got-your-number-df593c3a/

Poppy Wyatt needs a phone number where the hotel can reach her about her missing engagement ring. The abandoned phone she takes also brings businessman Sam Roxton’s messages, and Poppy starts answering more than her own problems.

## What makes it funny?

Poppy tries to tackle the ring search with Poirot’s composure, then remembers how much champagne she has drunk. Her efforts to reassure herself keep collapsing into more alarming possibilities.

### The comedy at work

Poppy explains her own bad decisions at breathless length. Sam prefers terse messages, leaving her plenty of room to misunderstand him and interfere.

### Try this if…

The appeal is screwball romance with an anxious, impulsive heroine and a reserved businessman. Enjoying elaborate misunderstandings will help.

### Good to know

Poppy is already engaged when she meets Sam. Wedding complications share the plot with a scandal at his company.
