 Landline is a novel about rediscovering true love after being with someone in a relationship for so many years. How do you rekindle those passionate feelings of first love when you have kids and are busy with work? As always, Rainbow Rowell draws the reader from the very first pages with her trademark writing style and loveable outliers. For a book about a troubled marriage, Landline manages to be adorable and uplifting with it's positive message that love will always survive. 
 Georgie McCool (yes that's her real name) is a television writer and is working on what she hopes to be her big break. Seth and Georgie have wanted to work on their own TV show for ages and so, Georgie decides to make some final touches on the show instead of going with her family to Omaha. Georgie and her family think that this is the last straw for Neal who always seems to be mad at Georgie for some reason. Then Georgie is given a chance to fix her marriage with a magical landline that allows her to communicate with a past version of Neal. 
 It doesn't matter if you're single, married or divorced, Landline is such a delight that readers will absolutely love. Though this book is a bit slower paced than some of Rowell's other books, Landline really caught my attention and I devoured this book much faster than I had initially expected. There are few authors that I will read anything they write, but Landline has convinced that Rowell belongs to that exclusive group. Rowell really knows how to tap into readers' emotions with heartfelt moments and after every book of hers, I always get this intense feeling of glee. 
 This book is really all about Georgie and I immediately fell in love with her, even when she decided not to spend Christmas with her family. I felt this deep connection with Georgie because she's awkward, unsure of her herself, and yet she has huge dreams that she can't seem to shake off. It was interesting to watch her interact with other characters and I loved Georgie's relationship with Seth. There was such a sharp contrast between Georgie's friendship with Seth and her marriage; it was interesting to read how Georgie tried to balance both relationships without upsetting the balance of her life. 
 The beautiful thing about Landline is that readers will fall in love with Georgie and Neal just as she rediscovers her love through the landline. It was incredibly sweet watching Georgie and Neal fall in love and later, rediscover how much they mean to each other. I loved seeing why Neal fell for Georgie and how their love evolved throughout the years. 
 You would think that Landline would follow a predictable plot-line, but Rowell throws in a bunch of sweet surprises towards the end that I didn't see coming. I did predict the final outcome early on, but I enjoyed this book way too much for this to even bother me. Landline had such a satisfying conclusion and I'm starting to think that Rowell can do no wrong because I've read all of her books and loved all of them. 
 I look forward to reading Rainbow's future books and I just know that I'm in for a treat. Landline is yet another strong novel by one of the best contemporary writers out there and it's a book that readers will fall in love with from the first pages. I am not usually a fan of contemporary books, but Rainbow Rowell's books are quickly converting me into a fan of the genre.
