Landline

I just finished reading Rainbow (who names their kid Rainbow?) Rowell's novel Landline.  Maybe Rainbow's parents were creative or artistic and some of that eclectic thinking wore off on their daughter?  Son?  I guess I think the author is a woman as no manly names come out of the sky.  Rainbow writes well.  Her characters are believable and layered.  The dialogue is snappy and cute.  The scene where the pizza delivery girl comes in to help two sisters as they assist in the delivery of three puppies as a pug labors inside a clothes dryer is hysterical.  The crazy part is the yellow rotary dial phone that Georgie has in her bedroom.  From this phone she can talk to her husband 10 years in the past.  As they talk she realizes he doesn't know they get married and have two little girls.  He doesn't know he is in the past and she doesn't tell him.  Georgie worries that what she tells him now might upset the past and maybe they won't get married and have two girls.  She is afraid she might influence her past (his future) by saying the wrong thing.  I know it's a strange plot but the good writing made this book worth my while.
