Here’s the Super guide to the world of Rainbow Rowell:
“Attachments”
Lincoln is the newest “Internet security officer” of The Courier. His job is to monitor all of the newspaper’s employees’ Internet use, including reading their e-mails and chat logs, especially the ones with red-flag words.
As Lincoln reads these exchanges, he finds himself falling in love with one of the women. But how can you tell someone you’ve fallen for her because you’ve been reading her private messages?
Pop culture hooks: the Internet, e-mail, Y2K bug, a lot of ’90s movies (“Fight Club,” “Dark City,” “The Matrix” and “You’ve Got Mail”), Dungeons & Dragons, rock music, Jason Bateman, grammar humor
“Eleanor & Park”
Eleanor just wants to get through life one day at a time. She has just gotten back home from being kicked out for a year. Her home life is precarious at best and terrifying at worst.
Their worlds collide one morning in the school bus. It isn’t love at first sight, not even “like” at first sight, but it’s the beginning of something much more precious. Eleanor knows first loves don’t last forever, just look at Romeo and Juliet. But, maybe, this thing with Park is worth risking her heart.
Pop culture hooks: comic books and graphic novels (“X-Men,” “Watchmen,” “The Dark Knight Returns”), Alan Moore, ’80s music, mix tapes, The Smiths, Joy Division, The Beatles, taekwondo, high school English literature, ’80s movies
“Landline” (out in July 2014)
Based on the description on Rowell’s website, “Landline” tells the story of TV show writer Georgie.
The question is, does she use this as a way to fix her marriage, or is it better to nip it in the bud? Cake Evangelista
