Landline by Rainbow Rowell

June 19, 2020 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

I read Attachments, and really liked it. I read Carry On, and also really liked it. And then I read Landline. Well, listened to Landline, which faintingviolet now tells me was a mistake. I tried to like it, I really did. But I really couldn’t. There were so many places this could go. And by so many places, I mean anywhere. There was a great set-up, and then nothing really happened. There were great opportunities, and none of them were taken. Landline features a comedy […]

“Nobody’s lives just fit together. Fitting together is something you work at. It’s something you make happen – because you love each other.”

Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Still good, but not my fave of hers. Like, 4.5 stars. If I had to rate all her books, this one would be nearer to the bottom, just above Eleanor & Park, and that’s purely personal preference speaking. All of the Rowells are Quality. (I have no idea what to expect for the forthcoming Pumpkinheads, but I am nevertheless excited in my ignorance.) This is definitely the most adult of her books, not a true romance, but a story of marriage and the hard work […]

Let’s talk about Seth, baby.

I’ve been on a big Rainbow Rowell re-read lately. I got all of her books on audible, and with the new job, I’m in the car a lot. Seriously, so much. And I find Rebecca Lowman’s voice to be so soothing, that even the Beltway traffic doesn’t bother me too much when I’m listening to her. And FYI, this review is pretty much a big huge spoiler. If you haven’t read it, go ahead and pick up a copy. I’ll wait. The other day I […]

Georgie’s marriage is in trouble. She and her husband, Neal, end up in different cities for Christmas – she makes a last-minute decision to stay in L.A. to work on an important new project for her work, while Neal takes their two daughters to Omaha for Christmas as originally planned. This is the first time in 15 years the two have been apart for any length of time, and Georgie and Neal left each other on very tense terms. Georgie, a television writer, leads a […]

Can you hear me now? How ’bout now?

August 14, 2015 by The Mama Leave a Comment

I’ve been sitting on this review for a while because I’m not really sure how I feel about this book. (Well, that, plus I’m lazy. And real life keeps interrupting. And the Kid wants food, like, every day, and Boss expects me to be sort of productive at work, so… book reviews tend to fall to the wayside at times.) In any event, I’m not sure how I feel about Landline. I loved Attachments, which was my first Rowell book, and I feel that if […]
