Landline
by Rainbow Rowell
3.7 stars. I really thought about giving this book only 3 stars, but I just couldn't. Yes, I couldn't relate to Georgie at all. Yes, I didn't really care about any of the characters (Heather being the one exception). Yes, I got pretty bored at some points.
But it was a nice and quick read, and I can't ignore the fact that Rainbow Rowell can just write REALLY well. The prose and the dialogues flowed nicely, and I love the way Rainbow writes.
However, this is my least favorite of Rainbow's books, since it didn't thrill me the way her other books did. Maybe it's because I'm not quite at that stage of my life yet, as a 22-year-old college student who has never been in a serious relationship.
I can't wait to read Carry On by Rainbow, since I've only heard great things about that one.
Edit February 2016:
I reduced my rating to 3 stars. I'm about to give Truthwitch by Susan Dennard 4 stars, and I enjoyed that novel just that much more.
