4.5 stars It appears to me from reading reviews and comments that Landline is a lot of people’s least favorite Rainbow Rowell book. I really liked it though.

When Neal in the present takes their two kids […]
Bonus review: Happy New Year!
I know I said yesterday that number 134 was going to be my last review of the year, but that was before I remembered that there was a Rainbow Rowell short story out there in the world that I hadn’t read.

I’ve never heard of Rowell specifically stating that Carry On is based on Harry Potter, but the similarities are undeniable. Simon Snow is an orphan who grew up in various group homes and foster homes […]
