Georgie is a woman, who’s always got what she wanted, who always knew exactly what she wanted and went after it. Talks very little, Neal is kind of used to express himself with doodles and ink he’s never good with knowing what he wants but is extraordinarily skilled when it comes to making big gestures. Not just that, Neal is a perfect father to his and Georgie’s two adorable little girls, Alice & Naomi. The kind that paints the walls with rainbow colors because his wife is a woman who loves saturated bold colors, brings her breakfast in bed because she’s that spoiled – even when he’s pissed off at her and the man who always calls his wife sweetheart and looks at her as if she’s the sun and he craves to be burned by her.

It’s about a man madly and deeply in love with his wife. It’s about a woman who’s had a dream to write her own comedy show with her best friend ever since college. Landline is a story about marriage, love and family. I can’t help but smile whenever I remember a scene from one of her books or come across one of her quotes. I have read all of her books now – except for “Carry On” which recently came out and I’m impatiently waiting for it to be available in Egypt’s bookstores – and I can tell you with pure confidence that her writing fills me with this pure, raw happiness. Now the question is, is fixing her marriage the best solution? Or would it be better for both of them if she ended it before it even started?”įirst things first, I’ve got to say that Rainbow Rowell’s books are beyond amazing.
