What Members Thought

Rainbow Rowell is one of my favorite authors, but this is not my favorite book of hers. The characters seemed universally unlikeable, but I think it's more than none of them were particularly well developed. The premise of a landline to the past was good but seemed to fall a little flat in practice. Landline is a good read, just not her best; if you're looking for your first Rowell book, start with Eleanor and Park or Attachments.

I'm going to be honest, I did not finish this book. I picked it up at the library because I'd considered reading it when it first came out. It was fine, enjoyable, and if I had all the time in the world and didn't have 30-40 books to read I probably would have finished it. But as it stands I just didn't feel like devoting the time to the second half.

A fun, easy read with a bit of an unexpected twist. If you're looking for something light/a vacation read, this might be the one.
