Book Review - Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Hello Earthlings, 

Landline is one of Rowell's early writings (I think?) and I tried it because I've read The Fangirl and Carry On, which were both amazing (in my opinion).

In my previous reviews on Rowell's books, I've probably mentioned, a few times that her writing flow and style suits me best out of many other authors, it's like the way she writes is the way I think as her flow fits my flow, just perfectly; hence, my lifelong goal (an idiotic one) is to read every one of her books.

Her writing is youthful, springy, and well, soft.

Despite my previous preference of 'adventurous thrillers', I like soft flows the best and I only found out due to reading numerous fanfics (fluffs) and Rowell's books.

Rowell is the reason (partially) that I'm a total fluff lover now, when it comes to novels. However, thrilling adventures are still welcome in my realm.

What I'm trying to say is that there's this high chance of me picking up a book from the fluff section now.

I mean, I might actually visit the 'fluff' section first instead of the 'adventure' section.

Moving on to Landline,

I'll be honest and straightforward that the only reason I finished this book was because I wanted to get on with the list of waiting-to-be-read books as I've been putting all of them on a shelf and they all are desperately in need of a good reading session (at least once!) as I owe it to myself, my mother's money and also the book itself, one good reading session.

I was interested enough to find out what happened at the end but I'm not re-reading it again, I don't think I will. However, there are certain parts I did enjoy, the good conversations (some), or certain twists.

Basically, the book was on how Georgie McCool fixes her unsaid problems ( between them ) with Neal Grafton who was her one true love, they're both very sure of that.

Love was never the problem, but their difference in priorities was definitely an issue.

However, it ends on a good note.

It always does.

My primary problem with the book was probably the fact that it didn't feel as soft as her other two books - it was somehow difficult. Maybe her flow was different back then?

The characters were also a bit, well, they didn't leap of the pages like I wanted them to, no matter how hard I tried to read.

And that is honestly, all I have to say about the book.

I'd give it a 6 over 10.

Love, Nana.
