![]() ![]() I still love the main conceit of this book, that inexplicable magical telephone that's never explained, but just descends into Georgie's life like judgment from on high: Talk to your husband. ![]() Georgie and Neil are both Pieces of Work (in different ways), and I'm not sure I really *like* them, but I do feel for them and I want them to be happy. ![]() Not being married, I can't relate specifically, but this book feels personal in that "I opened up a vein to write this" sort of way, and that gets to you as a reader. This is definitely the most adult of her books, not a true romance, but a story of marriage and the hard work and heartbreak that goes into it. (I have no idea what to expect for the forthcoming Pumpkinheads, but I am nevertheless excited in my ignorance.) If I had to rate all her books, this one would be nearer to the bottom, just above Eleanor & Park, and that's purely personal preference speaking.
