I love Rainbow Rowell's books because whether about high school students in the 1980's, a marriage in 2013, or a workplace romance in 1999, her characters are people you could know, or could be. This story, especially, touched me deeply because I think anyone in a marriage can forget exactly what made them fall in love in the day-to-day business of life with a spouse if they don't take the time to remember.

I know some were not fond of the magical realism element, but I liked it. It was a cute spin on the time travel trope. A highly enjoyable read.

3 1/2 stars. The book is insightful and the characters are instantly lovable. The magic phone does the trick for narrative purposes. I felt the use of profanity was excessive but for the most part I enjoyed this entertaining and often hilarious story of love and marriage.
