Georgie McCool is a sitcom writer, a mother, and a wife,
probably in that order. Her husband,
Neal, stays home to take care of their two daughters. They are set to go to Omaha, Nebraska from
Los Angeles to spend Christmas with Neal’s mother when Georgie learns that
someone wants to air her sitcom, the one that she and her best friend have been
writing since college, the one that matters.
The catch is that he wants to meet with them on December 27 and today is
December 17 and she and her friend, Seth, need to have three more episodes
ready to share at the meeting. There is
no way Georgie is going to Omaha. Neal
takes the kids and goes to Omaha without her.
Georgie is afraid that she has finally ruined her marriage but finds out
that calling Neal’s mother’s landline from her old rotary phone at her mother’s
house allows her to connect with Neal in an unusual way. Maybe she can figure
out how to save her marriage after all.
I really liked this story. It’s
mostly a realistic romantic comedy type story, but with a twist of supernatural
thrown in. People who have liked
Rowell’s other books will probably love this one as well.
