About this ebook

#1 New York Times bestselling author! A New York Times Best Seller! Goodreads Choice Award Winner for Best Fiction of 2014! An Indie Next Pick!

From New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park and Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell, comes a hilarious, heart-wrenching take on love, marriage, and magic phones.

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it's been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply-but that almost seems beside the point now.
Maybe that was always beside the point.

Two days before they're supposed to visit Neal's family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can't go. She's a TV writer, and something's come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her-Neal is always a little upset with Georgie-but she doesn't expect to him to pack up the kids and go without her.

When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she's finally done it. If she's ruined everything.

That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It's not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she's been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts. . . .

Is that what she's supposed to do?

Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book. First because the main character is NOT a young adult, but a life weary full-on adult. Second because there was a huge change in the main character yet everyone else around her didn't. It was her desperation so much more tangible. Looking forward to more Rainbow Rowell books.

Well... I love Rainbow Rowell a lot! Unfortunately this book wasn't that good. I kinda got bored while reading, and i force myself to finish more chapters in order to be more attracted to the story.. I just don't find any new events happening... I expected it to be better

The word love can't describe how much I enjoyed this book it's hilarious and sweet and hilarious and sweet and jaw dropping at times Neil ,Georgie and Seth are the main characters Neil and Georgie are a timeless story mixed in with a little time travel. Georgie is the wife and a comedy writer Neil is an amazing husband and father Seth is the hilarious best friend of Georgie. you won't be able to put this book down it's fantastic I've read it twice after finishing it
