Georgie, All Along
Georgie, All Along | Kate Clayborn
From Kate Clayborn, the author Jasmine Guillory describes as emotional and real comes a new novel echoing with timely questions about love, friendship, career, and family. Wise and witty, threaded through with a complex, emotionally fulfilling modern love story, this is a book that readers will immediately identify with and take to heart. In this heartfelt tale of one womans quest to reinvent herself, the acclaimed author of Love Lettering and Love at First delivers a poignant, witty reflection on how the hopes, dreams, and stories from our past shape our future . . . 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 artifacta friendfic diary she wrote as a teenager, filled with possibilities she once imagined. To an overwhelmed Georgie, the diarys simple, small-scale ideas are a lifelinea guidebook for getting started on a new path. Georgies plans hit a snag when she comes face to face with an unexpected roommateLevi 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 sideif 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-read for everyone whos ever wondered about the life that got away . . . Praise for Kate Clayborn A novel of lush complexity, one bursting with humor, a tender melancholy, and meditations on love, friendship, and life. Entertainment Weekly, A+ for Love Lettering Luminously beautiful . . . heartbreaking, wise, and wonderful. Ruby Lang, author of PlayingHouse

I‘m a day late but thanks to @Eggs for the #Two4Tuesday tag. 🤗

1️⃣ I try, but I am not very good at it in my personal life. At work I use tasks in Outlook & a project management system & I try to spend 10-15 minutes at the start & end of each day reviewing what I did & what I need to do.

2️⃣ This one is still in my TBR but it‘s about a personal assistant trying to find herself after putting everyone else‘s needs first.

I picked this one through #BOTM because Georgie‘s description called to me. I‘ve been searching for a new direction in my life, mainly because people tell me I should. I‘m so thankful to the BFF in this one when she tells Georgie what her special and unique skill is, because it made me realize I am the same! Don‘t compare your life to other people‘s highlight reel!!

I‘m super picky about modern romance novels, but I totally enjoyed this one! The characters were a lot of fun and had good chemistry, it had one of the most believable forced proximity tropes I‘ve encountered, and the writing was smart and funny. My interest waned a little in the last quarter because after saying several times that she had no intention of her life turning into a hallmark movie plot, the conclusion veered annoyingly close to one.

This was a sweet, deeply thought-out, coming home story of two people finding their identities and working through their stuff together. I like the healing, the realizations, the perspective of it all. Also, perfect title for the book!

This was a nice comfy romance…. Very Hallmark movie-ish with a bit more spice. I enjoyed these two characters- they were full characters, both on their own journeys of discovery and growth, while also reflecting and dealing with their past selves.

This book is so FLUFFY! Which is fine. Fluffy is fine. One of my book besties chose this for July because we left her in charge. I did have a hard time putting it down once it really got going. It's mega predictable. And possibly a little cheesy.

This was a very sweet contemporary romance which is another balance of a woman‘s personal journey and finding love. The male protagonist is also on a journey of forgiveness, both with his family and forgiving himself for his past transgressions. The writing was entertaining and I liked the characters. It just did not feel particularly new, but was a nice, light, summer read. 3.5⭐️

4/5

Georgie is returning to her home town after working for years as an assistant to Hollywooddirectors. Returning home brings up a lot of memories, so it's no surprise that she mistakes troubled Levi Fanning, for his younger brother Evan, who was Georgie's crush throughout high school. Georgie is trying to figure out her future while Levi is resolving the issues of his past.

It's a great small town romance about figuring out your path.

A small town romance that doesn't feel small. Georgie loses her job as a PA when her boss retires and goes back home to help her pregnant best friend. She meets the older brother of her highschool crush who happens to be the former town bad boy. She finds an old notebook full of things she wanted to do & they decide to do them together. This was sweet, funny, and at times poignant. It was as expansive as Georgie herself. I adored it.

I can either really loathe another follow.the.list storyline or I can love it. This one is more of the latter but more so because I loved the grumpy x sunshine romance and deep friendship between Georgie and Bel. Also, mad props to Kate Clayborn for all the pun-ny nicknames woven throughout for Georgie, and Cal, etc.

3✨ I have mixed feelings about this book. I really like that Georgie, our female lead, found her high school journal of things she wanted to do. She decides that since her life is off track she will spend time with her friend who is expecting, mark off her bucket list items, and in so doing return to her hometown. The second POV is Levi, who has lots of rumors and a rocky reputation when he was in high school a few years before Georgie.⬇️

Roary47 2️⃣The characters and relationships are great in this book. The storyline is fun, with humor, and mishaps. What I didn‘t like, which is just a preference thing I‘m sure,is the details in the intimacy I could have done without, and I wish there was more items they did to check off things on the list. Other than that it was a solid and fun read. 2y

The bright yellow cover matches this fluffy modern romance. 28 year old Georgie is lost after she loses her job. What is a girl to do? Why, go home of course, help her pregnant BFF and try to recapture who she is with the help of an old high-school journal and a hunky local (who needs some love).

I just wanted the love interest to get the love he needed. I didn't really click with the story, it was just eh.

My opinion would be higher had the first half of this book been reduced to a single short chapter. But I really enjoyed the second half and the consideration of how difficult it is to be a mentally healthy adult when you grew up keenly aware you are unloved by your parents. …A bump in the relationship is a required required trope a romance, but I did think Georgie was too hard on Levi. …I guess I‘m Levi all along :)

I really loved this #BOTM pick! I‘ve enjoyed Clayborn‘s earlier novels, but this one may be my favorite yet! Titular Georgie returns to her small VA town after her last job as a Hollywood PA suddenly ends, feeling adrift and out of sorts. But the discovery of an old pre-high school notebook, helping her best friend and an unexpected meet-cute turns this into an emotional romantic comedy! I loved Hank, and the human characters, too! A fun read!

Not what I expected from blurb. Love messy and expansive Georgia. Also Levi and his trauma from childhood. Both I see within my relationship. He‘s so sweet to her, so vulnerable, that still gets him in trouble. Georgia is so soft, and bubbly. Pretty steamy chapter, though I‘m not one for the sex this early in a relationship, they got it working out. Including understanding each other, talking like adults. I liked the ending. Georgias got it #ouabc

There was a lot I really enjoyed about this small town romance between an ex-Hollywood personal assistant who doesn‘t know what she wants and a bad boy turned small business owner still struggling with his old reputation. The spice was fantastic, for one. But the last hour took me forever to read, I was just bored by that point and knew how it would end.

With the most lovable characters and a ton of heart, this romance is completely swoon-worthy! It‘s comforting like a strawberry milkshake, hopeful like a notebook full of dreams, radiant like a moonbeam.

I loved this one!

Georgie and her friend Bel made a notebook when they were kids containing all kinds of things that they wanted to accomplish before high school.

When Georgie moves back home to help Bel prepare for the birth of her child, she decides to do as many of the things in the notebook that she can in hopes of gaining some clarity.

Fun, sassy, and kind of like a hot Hallmark movie. This was a fun ride 😄
