Recommended if you've ever had a long distance relationship and your relationship depended on those phone calls, if you fell for the quiet mysterious guys in high school, if you wish your life had a little bit of magic in it.

Landline is a quick, easy, sentimental read. It might have been better if I read it during winter because it takes place during Christmas 2013. (It even mentions Snowpocalypse.) It starts off slowly, with less than likable characters. Georgie and Neal have serious communication problems from the start. They assume what the other is thinking instead of asking. Georgie's best friend is another guy. Neal is passive-aggressive and takes off for his parents' house leaving Georgie home alone.

But then.. there's the conversations on the magical phone! This book almost reads like a romantic comedy film. There's even an airport running scene. So like with most rom coms, I'm happy I read the book. But I may forget about it later.
