Summary:
Georgie McCool knows her
marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She
still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but
that almost seems besides the point now.
Maybe that was always besides the point.
Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn’t expect to him to pack up the kids and go home without her.
When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.
That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .
Is that what she’s supposed to do?
Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?
Maybe that was always besides the point.

Thoughts:
After reading every book written by Rainbow Rowell, I am left with the following thought:

I still have to read Attachments, I started it but I got distracted somewhere in the middle. I have read her YA books through Eleanor and Park and Fangirl. I bet Landline is going to do just as well. Mine is http://newbielibrarians.blogspot.com/ I hope you can find some times to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Fangirl so I can't wait for this to come out! It sounds a little different than the normal books she writes considering the not-really-time-travel thing. Thanks for sharing!
