Review
I enjoyed this book thoroughly, it was a lovely read.
Georgie and Neal have been married for years, however the marriage although perfect in Georgies eyes, is not so in Neals.
Neal does everything in the house, from cooking and cleaning to looking after their 2 children.
Georgie is a comedy writer and has a break with the sitcom that she is writing with her best friend Seth, more about him later.
The thing is, it is Christmas in a week and they are going to spend it with Neals mother in Omaha, BUT the script for the pilot of the sitcom has to be finished, this week.
So Neal decides to go without Georgie to his mothers and leaves her on her own.
At first it is all work work work, with Seth.
Now Seth is a character that i disliked, he is supposed to be her best friend but they have "rules" not to talk about their personal life, why would he not be concerned with this, he just sort of carried on with writing, and expected her to do the same, even though he could blatantly see that she was in turmoil.
Seth is a single handsome man and has a string of fillies, which used to upset Georgie as she thought that they would end up together, that was until she met Neal.
We flip back and forth to past and present to where and how they met and fell in love, and during these flashbacks Georgie realizes that her marriage may be in trouble and wants to get Neal back.
Her Iphone is having battery problems and because she doesn't want to be at home on her own she stays at her mothers house nearby, it is there she finds her old yellow dial telephone (remember them) and calls Neal.
The thing is, she ends up talking to Neal in 1998 and not her present Neal!!
It is up to Georgie to try and make the marriage better and over the telephone with her "old Neal" tries to do this.
The only thing that was lacking for me was the why it happened, what made the phone work, why was it there, was it still there and working afterwards, and why could Neal call her from 1998 too?
Other than that it was a cute read.
