Loading... Georgie, All Along: An Uplifting and Unforgettable Love Story (edition 2023)by Kate Clayborn (Author)
Work InformationGeorgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn
   READ in 2024 (92) Book I read in 2023 (16) No current Talk conversations about this book.  Trisha_Thomas | Nov 14, 2024 |   It took me almost a year to finish, not a good sign, but not a nail in the coffin. I kept going thinking it would start getting interesting and ended up wanting to skim page after page. It felt "cluttered" - too many side characters of little impact and long inner monologues that started to get repetitive. Both the "fic" and the revelation of Levi's history were underwhelming. I suppose a 1 star is harsh, but it's rare that I look back wishing I would have dnf'd a book after finishing it. I see plenty of other readers like this one, which is great. If you're looking for a lighthearted Hallmark-style romance, this could be a good one for you.

Longtime personal assistant Georgie Mulcahy has made a career out of putting others before herself. When an unexpected upheaval sends her away from her hectic job in L.A. and back to her hometown, Georgie must confront an uncomfortable truth: her own wants and needs have always been a disconcertingly blank page. But then Georgie comes across a forgotten artifact-a "friendfic" diary she wrote as a teenager, filled with possibilities she once imagined. To an overwhelmed Georgie, the diary's simple, small-scale ideas are a lifeline-a guidebook for getting started on a new path. Georgie's plans hit a snag when she comes face to face with an unexpected roommate-Levi Fanning, onetime town troublemaker and current town hermit. But this quiet, grouchy man is more than just his reputation, and he offers to help Georgie with her quest. As the two make their way through her wishlist, Georgie begins to realize that what she truly wants might not be in the pages of her diary after all, but right by her side-if only they can both find a way to let go of the pasts that hold them back. Honest and deeply emotional, Georgie, All Along is a smart, tender must-listen for everyone who's ever wondered about the life that got away . . . "Absolute perfection-this is the book you are looking for. Georgie All Along is a tour de force, beautifully written and full of charming characters, rich emotion, and delicious spice. With it, Kate Clayborn solidifies her place in romance royalty." -Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author "A modern yet timeless love story." -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW "Tender and sexy . . . features strong friendships and will appeal to fans of Emily Henry." -Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW Contains mature themes.

Georgie is coming home. She's moving back home after she's lost her current job and isn't sure what she wants anymore. She feels like a mess, a mess she's always been, and doesn't know who she is anymore or what she wants from life.
Levi is our other POV. He's had a rough upbringing and has just recently really carved a spot out for himself in the world. As long as he can keep to himself, keep is life simple, it will keep going well and he can just keep on keeping on.
But Georgie and Levi collide right in the beginning of the story and their journey together, to sort out who they are and what they want - was a cute ride. I like that Levi's and Georgie's lives felt very different and their struggles unique. I like that Georgie's best friend is also dealing with some very real issues - is she leading the life she wants or the one she always thought she should?
And Hank. The most adorable character in the whole story is the dog and he honestly rounds out the story in a way that will make it stick with me. He was just so cute and I loved that both Georgie and Levi had full conversations with Hank about their lives.
all in all, this is a good Book club book and I'm looking forward to chatting with my book club tonight about it. I love that there is a discussion guide in the back. (
