The 1990s are calling and it wants to save your marriage. Or not. Or … maybe?
We wish we had cared enough about these characters to care about the landline to the past. As it is, we were left wanting more—more reasons to like the main characters, more reasons to root for them, more from the more interesting minor characters... and more 90s throwback references.
An easy and entertaining read, Landline isn't necessarily a waste of time. Many of us would recommend it, some of us would not. One reader said it left her "massively unfulfilled." (Ouch!) Those of us who have read Eleanor & Park would say read that instead.
We look forward to hearing more from Rainbow Rowell, but we won't be calling Landline again.
