Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward
2.0
This is a hard one for me to rate so low. I've always been a huge fan of Penelope's novels, however this one was a real dud for me.
First we meet a drunk Rana, who for the last 16 years has only thought of one guy. One night with the help of google, she discovers her guy (Landon) has a landline and decides she's going to get on her landline (because what millennial isn't still paying for a landline) and call him. She goes on this ridiculous rant about how he never thinks about her.
Then we meet Landon, who guess what, has thought of her every day since she moved away. They proceed to rekindle their friendship and so on and so forth.
The book literally speeds up after this. Like imagine watching your favorite movie and all the juicy goodness that typically helps develop the plot has been removed. That's exactly what happens with this book. It goes drunk dial-->super in love, with very little progression in between.
