This is my first Rainbow Rowell novel and I am totally hooked. I love her style and her prose is exactly what I like. I got a good picture of the characters and they were well rounded, but omg they're stupid. They've been married how long, and they don't talk about anything! I get that Neal is recal...

It has taken me longer than usual to sit down to write this review, because I don’t seem to know how to put in words what I feel about this book. I would have to say that Rainbow Rowell does not cease to impress me. I have loved both her adult novels so far because they are very real. She has the ki...

This book was a surprise. I read Fangirl and did not enjoy it as apparently did everyone else. So you will understand why I was a bit skeptical at the beginning. The book is pleasant but sad at the same time. It shows how even perfect love stories may be lost in the daily routine and how relations...

I'd come to really admire Rainbow Rowell's works. Her books just fascinate me and her characters are so relatable and remarkable. They remind you of yourself and your life as a teenager. In this novel, Rowell introduces us a story about a woman named Georgie who has a quite complicated relationship ...

I was reading this book at the same time as a Man Booker winner and it provided some light relief from the stress of the heavier read. Having since discussed it with my book group, however, I realise just how thin and, frankly, unbelievable Landline really was. Georgie McCool (What!!?), is a TV co...

I liked the premise of this book: a shift.... or perhaps, a crack... in the space-time continuum, whereby the protagonist could access an earlier time of her life to try to fix her (for lack of a better word) stalled relationship with her now, husband (then, boyfriend). Could she make different choi...

"At least he could make sure he was with the right person.Wasn't that the point of life? To find someone to share it with?And if you got that part right, how far wrong could you go? If you were standing next to the person you loved more than everything else, wasn't everything else just scenery?" Wit...

So, I can really only gush about this book. And that gushing really comes down to a mega fan-girl moment over Rainbow Rowell, who I adore.Rainbow Rowell can write. She can really, really write. She can tell a story (with a magic time traveling phone) that is so real and so poignant that there is rea...

Rainbow’s Fangirl did not meet my expectation that’s for sure! But that book made me accustom to her writing style which was one of the main reason for me to like ‘Landline’. By all means this book is slow and in detail but the pace fits perfectly. Besides, Landline is serious fiction which throws l...

I really, really love Rainbow Rowell's writing, even as I don't always love her stories. Landline is the fourth Rowell book I've read, and my least favorite story, but the things I love about Rowell's work -- her heartbreakingly relatable characters, her wry humor, the subtle way she shows relations...
