Landline

I  have had this book sitting on the side of my bed for weeks until I finally cracked it open and started to read it. Couldn't put it down.  Neal and Georgie met in college at the school paper.  This couple is an example of the saying "opposites attract". He is a cartoonist and she is a writer.  He grunts at people and she knows how to work a room. 
 
They  have been married for fourteen years. The book starts right before Christmas.  Georgie and her writing partner make a pitch for a new show.  This show can sky rocket her career.  Just one problem they want the pilot and four episodes written by December 27th.  She and her husband Neal and their kids are suppose to go to Neal's family in Omaha for Christmas.  She goes home to tell him and he is pretty ticked off.  He takes the family leaving her behind.  Alone, Georgie starts going back over her past with her husband.  Dreading going to an empty house, she stays at her Mom's house where she finds her old yellow landline phone.  Many of you may remember those phones.  Mine was pink and I use to talk with my friends for hours. She plugs the phone in and the conversations they have are fascinating.  There is a twist because these were no ordinary conversations.

Neal and Georgie love each other but the question still remains, Is love enough? Does their life together make them happy?

I really liked the book.  Give it a try.    Landline
