Maybe she can fix the things in their past that seem unfixable in the present.
TV writer Georgie McCool can’t actually visit the past - all she can do is call it, and hope it picks up.īecause once Georgie realizes she has a magic phone that calls into the past, all she wants to do is make things right with her husband, Neal. Landline was just the blend of love story and reality of marriage that will speak to anyone who has been married for over ten years.Īs far as time machines go, a magic telephone is pretty useless. It was just life getting in the way and a failure to communicate. I liked that there weren’t any major infidelities or issues between Georgie and Neal. I was absolutely hooked by this contemporary fiction about a struggling marriage. I only picked Landline up because Rainbow Rowell and I share initials (and I did not want to read Rick Riordan). With the time-traveling communication messing with her head, Georgie recalls her courtship with Neal and ponders what to do about her marriage. While he’s away, she finds that calling Neal on the landline results in her talking to a younger version of her husband in the days just before he proposed. Sitcom writer Georgie McCool knows her marriage is struggling, but she can’t pass up the chance to pitch the pilot show she’s been dreaming about for years, even if it means missing Christmas.
