Landline

Landline is by Rainbow Rowell. A charming realistic fiction rom-com with a touch of magical realism. Georgie is a television writer, her husband Neal is a stay-at-home dad. Two days before they are to leave to spend Christmas with Neal's parents, Georgie tells Neal she can't go as she has to stay and work on a script that could be her big break. To her surprise, Neal and the kids leave anyway and she is left alone. Heartbroken and torn, she returns to her parent's house where she discovers that the landline in her old room allows her to speak to Neal at a time in the past before they were ever married. Can Georgie use this chance to work out their present issues before they are even married? Is there still a chance to work things out? A charming novel. 

Ratings: 12th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity).
