Summary from Goodreads:
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 besides the point now.
Maybe that was always besides 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 home 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?
Maybe that was always besides the point.

Rainbow Rowell. Obviously this would be on my top ten most wanted to read of the year. I adored fangirl to bits so it's no surprise that this would be on my list. What's more with all the hype and everything even I get freaking excited. And now I just want it even more. Come to me Book. Come to me NOW. PLEASE! Nuff said.
I haven't read anything by her yet, I'll have to try one of her YA first! :)

I've only read Fangirl and I loved it! She's really a brilliant author! Thanks for dropping by :)
Deletea lot of my friends say that this is a good book. I enjoyed Elenor and Park by her, so maybe I'll give this one a chance as well.
