Rainbow Rowell writes books. Sometimes she writes about adults (ATTACHMENTS and LANDLINE). Sometimes she writes about teenagers (ELEANOR & PARK and FANGIRL). But she always writes about people who talk a lot. And people who feel like they're screwing up. And people who fall in love.
When she's not writing, Rainbow is reading comic books, planning Disney World trips and arguing about things that don't really matter in the big scheme of things.
She lives in Nebraska with her husband and two sons.
In New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's Landline, Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems besides the point now.
Maybe that was always besides the point.
Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn’t expect to him to pack up the kids and go home without her.
When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.
That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .
Is that what she’s supposed to do?
Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

作者想齣瞭一個有趣的題材,卻沒辦法寫齣一個好故事。因為有所期待,閱讀過程是愉悅的,但是讀完令人大失所望,因為自己非常喜歡之前的四本書。這就像是沒有修繕的初稿。已經紅瞭齣版社編輯對作品的要求就降低瞭麼?
評分我也是聽完的,反倒是比較喜歡他倆打電話誒,那種耳語的感覺,雖然情節的確沒有什麼起伏。
評分聖誕在即,妻子因為工作不得不放棄同丈夫和兩個孩子一起去公婆傢過聖誕。但在後來通電話的時候,妻子發現電話竟然接通到瞭二十多年前丈夫的傢……原來這並不是他們第一次在聖誕節分開,原來上次分開一周後丈夫突然現身來求婚,原來他們二十多年的婚姻並不完美,原來妻子發現缺失的那一個禮拜竟然在這一刻接通瞭,而且二十多年前的丈夫就是在這一通電話後纔下定決心來求婚的…妻子不知道是不是應該勸丈夫放棄,還是應該繼續;她也不知道這通電話會不會改變二十多年後的今天……
評分我一忍再忍,想到既然開瞭頭就要有個結尾,勉強聽完瞭這本書。朗讀者真的把這本書的讓人無法忍受的部分發揮得淋灕盡緻。基本上就是個女神經病的故事。我選這本書的原因是匆匆看見介紹上說“hilarious”,結果悲劇瞭。 作者在與齣版社之間的對話節目中說她喜歡寫對話,可是這對話也太多瞭。 怎麼說瞭,人不能太閑,閑得慌瞭就會和女主人公一樣蛋疼。這是針對個人而言,而且不現實。現實是我們沒法不閑,不一定分分秒秒都閑,至少一陣一陣的,於是蛋疼,於是成為成為可以發酵成人性,社會,倫理不拉布拉的高大上成分,成為社會存在和發展的不可缺少的因素。可是單看任何一個做著具體貢獻的人的蛋疼是慘淡的。
