This means she can’t make it to the Christmas holiday vacation with her in-laws. Here’s the deal: Georgie is a career focused woman who writes for TV and is about to get her own show with her writing partner Seth – if she can pull together a bunch of scripts over Christmas week. Luckily for me, Landline is a fast read, although it’s expensive once you factor in the price of several boxes of tissues. I read Landline in a state of panic because I had written a thing about Rowell’s appeal and only later discovered that I had left out an entire book, so: I’m not sure I’d call it “good” but I’d certainly call it “effective”. But through a combination of skill and serendipity the book managed to turn me into a gibbering mess. Landline is not Rainbow Rowell’s best book. I love her use of unconventional characters, and I love that even though the character’s lives are imperfect, they get to find love anyway. Rainbow Rowell is one of those authors who always seems to attack my emotions directly, when I’m not looking. Genre: Contemporary Romance, Literary Fiction, Romance
