Book Review: Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward

Drunk Dial
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn’t think he’d call me back.

I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.



Rana Saloomi was the pudgy, little tomboy with the bad haircut and hairy arms. She had lived in the garage apartment of the boy who she had a crush on until her family up and moved across the state. Over the years Rana has thought about Landon Roderick a lot but it takes her alcohol induced state to finally drunk dial him. This is where their story begins.

A relationship is about appreciating the good, the bad, and the ugly. No one is perfect. 

There's plenty of pain and heartache ahead for Rana and Landon. Their lives changed significantly since they last saw each other. A long distance relationship quickly develops but Rana and Landon can't move forward until they are ready to share their secrets. 
Drunk Dial is a sweet and heartwarming romance. It's a story of two souls who find their way back to each other, discovering they were on opposite sides of essentially the same life circumstance. 4 Stars
