Landline - Rainbow Rowell - 4 stars

I have had this book for quite some time and I try and make a habit of not reading books that are super hyped up, this way you can't be too disappointed when it is not everything you expected it to be, however this book was a pretty decent read for me. I did enjoy the writing style because it is very fluid and I found the book to be quite engaging. This is the authors adult book, she also has several young adult novels as well that I would like to read.

I did expect a little more excitement when it came to her discovering that she was talking to her husband in the past. I also found that their relationship was somewhat toxic throughout the relationship, and I did not like that she took most of the blame for the problems they were having. A relationship is supposed to be 50/50 and it did not seem fair that she was the focal point of the problems. I respected her attempts to fix things by way of the 'landline' and then when she did finally come to realize that she had to make some changes to make it work.

Overall it was a good read, although a little sappy at times, but who doesn't need some sappiness once in awhile. I also think it kind of teaches the do's and don'ts of relationships. Just know that relationship problems should not be laid on the shoulders of only one person, you work as a team to make a realtionship fulfilling.
