"'Why's it called a mudroom?' 'Because it's the room where you take off your muddy things.' 'I love that your house plans for you to get muddy. Like it's in the architecture.'" This is my first Rainbow Rowell and I loved it! This was a…

“Landline” by Rainbow Rowell stars Georgie McCool, whose marriage is struggling. She finds a magical landline that lets her talk to her husband before they got married. I loved how Rainbow Rowell showed how marriages aren’t all happy ever…

Not the best mystery I've read. A little far fetched but in the end heartwarming. Not good enough for book club.

I would have given this novel five stars, but I bumped it down to 4 1/2 for two reasons. 1) I didn't want it to end! I wanted the story to keep going and going and going. Maybe Rowell will write a sequel? 2) I would have liked to have seen…

Awful book.

Alright story, but the best part is really the cameo by Cath and Levi at the end.

OK writing.....read it quickly just to see what happens.......TOO MUCH TALKING......"Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it's been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her,…

Another great Rainbow Rowell story. I love her books! This one was a quick read and is perfect if you're looking for a Christmas romance. Just be prepared for a few loose ends when the story is finished!

Mostly enjoyable account of the misadventures of Georgie McCool, whose failed attempts to communicate by cellphone with her husband (instead reaching her young daughters for hilarious conversations, or her mother in law for awkward ones)…

Georgie McCool's marriage is in trouble. But she cannot get ahold of her husband who has taken their kids to Omaha to visit his mother over Christmas while Georgie stays home to work on a career changing project. Instead, she spends the…

Great story! Really made me appreciate an older romance, which is hard to appeal to a younger audience. Fantastic writing from Rowell as always!

Every Rainbow Rowell book is great, and this is no exception. Georgie and Neal are a couple drifting apart, and then an old landline phone causes them to reconnect in strange ways. There are many entertaining references to an earlier time…

Very cute, very whimsical and written in the purely clever and easy flowing Rowell style. I sure do like her books.

I might have a small Rainbow Rowell addiction. After reading 'Fangirl' and 'Carry on', I knew I would enjoy this book. A friend of mine also loved it, and she hasn't recommended a bad book yet. I was a bit excited because this is an adult…

Not bad. Good for a more mindless read or if you're bored. Has nice romance, and shows that you shouldn't take things for granted.

A good read with very flawed and difficult characters. I love that the ending doesn't write off the whole previous history.

Are you looking for a great, slightly magical read during this busy holiday season? Check out Landline by Rainbow Rowell. As a recovering workaholic and working Mom, I found it really resonnated with me. Christmas is a big part of it--also…

Rainbow Rowell is my "go to" for amazing characters and charming stories. This one is no different. I will say, that it was probably my least favorite of her books, but it was still better than 95% of the books I've ever read.

Another solid book from Rainbow.
