![]() Rowell is, as always, a fluent and enjoyable writer-the pages whip by. This magical plot device allows Georgie to investigate what drove her and Neal apart in flashbacks, and consider whether they were ever truly happy. When Georgie calls Neal’s home, she doesn’t reach the husband who’s on the verge of leaving her-she reaches the moody cartoonist she fell in love with during college, a past version of the current Neal. This is where the story gets interesting. When Georgie cancels the family trip over Christmas, Neal takes the girls and leaves Georgie behind. ![]() ![]() The only problem? Her husband, Neal, is growing increasingly discontent with Georgie’s endless work and his status as stay-at-home dad to their daughters, Noomi and Alice. Georgie McCool (yes, that’s her real name) is a successful TV writer with a handsome writing partner and a chance to finally take her career to the next level she’s just been offered her own pilot, which means no more writing jokes for characters she didn’t invent. Rowell follows up children’s novels Fangirl and Eleanor and Park, both released in 2013, with an adult novel about the ups and downs of marriage. ![]()
