Waiting on Wednesday (11): Landline by Rainbow Rowell


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme held by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick:

Landline by Rainbow Rowell
Expected Publication Date: July 8th, 2014
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Genre: Adult, Contemporary, Sci-Fi

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?


My Thoughts

I feel the summary just speaks for itself. Time Travel? Maybe not Doctor Who-esque, but still, I just love Rainbow Rowell. Eleanor & Park was by far an amazing read. I can't wait to read what she has in store for us next!
