Landline Synopsis:
Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble; it has been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now.
Maybe that was always beside 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 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 has an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts…
Should she do it? Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

I loved reading this book! All the characters are so real, and I loved their interactions with one another. Personally, I loved Neal more than anyone else and felt that Georgie did not deserve him. Moreover, I kept wondering as to how the magic of the landline phone worked. I was guessing how the story would end, and the author had me to the edge of my seat as to what Georgie would do. The author has also written the story in a fun manner where it shifts between the present and the past. Overall, Landline was a fun book to read!
