I was all set to start my review with talking about how Landline is the best book by Rainbow Rowell that I've read so far. I even had to stay sitting at a bus top because I couldn't walk home without finishing it. But today I finished Fangirl (the only book I hadn't yet read by her), and Fangirl is just...better. 
 Landline was the best Rainbow Rowell book I'd read at the time, however, and I still think it was really good. It's different to any of her others. It feels more adult than Attachments did. Maybe because Georgie is older, and Lincoln is basically a uni student stuck in a working person's body (hey, aren't we all a little like that?), maybe because Georgie has more of an 'adult life'. 
 Landline is more instantly engaging than either Attachments or Eleanor & Park (or Fangirl actually, just Fangirl became like an addiction). 
 I expected the supernatural phone to the past to be a bit too far fetched, but somehow it worked. It seemed almost realistic. It felt more like a classic love story- or rediscovering love story. Plus it took some of the cuteness out of it, and sometimes love stories are too cute.
