The novel LANDLINE-Not a novel ideal; Sappy Crappy Back to the Future

LANDLINE is a time travel time, chick lit dimwit novel.  The premise of speaking to your husband of 15 years at the time you 1st met & fell in love over a magical phone is phoney sentimental drip.  I'm beomg harsh because I fell for the gimmick and for the likable main character.  Georgie is a comedy sketch writer who partners with her handsome college buddy, Seth.  They met in college writing for the campus paper.  Neal also worked on the paper as their cartoonist.  Georgie & Neal fall in love, get married, have 2 girls and move to LA.   The LA sun shines down on Georgie & Seth with their  comedy-sketch writing team.  Neal doesn't care for the deal; stay at home dad & playing 2nd fiddle to Georgie's career.  Things come to a breaking point at Christmas when Georgie cancels on the trip back to Neal's family and their marriage may or may not be over. Georgia finds an old fashioned rotary phone & outlet that not only still functions, it's magic contacts the Neal she knew before they married.  Author Rainbow Rowell (really?) calls herself out for lifting on "It's a Wonderful Life.  Rowell has won the Goodreads Choice Award for Y/A.  This novel is lost somewhere in a time tunnel.  The story doesn't appeal to youths or adults.  "Peggy Sue Got Married," with Nicholas Cage already did a good job with this back to the future soul searching.  LANDLINE rings an annoying busy signal.
