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

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.

A grump/sunshine romance. Nice moments between friends, nice moments between siblings, but I‘m not sure I understand how these two fell in love.

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. 1mo

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.

For some reason, my brain immediately pictured Zoey Deutch as Georgie, but I‘m open to casting suggestions for who would play Levi in the movie! 😂 #BOTM

Julsmarshall I loved this too! Her book Love Lettering is also a favorite ❤️ 3mo

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 😄

#reinvention #confrontingthepass
A wonderful palate cleanser. After losing a successful job, Georgie goes home to her eccentric parents & their unconditional love. Georgie desperately wants to understand the what & why of her own wants & needs that have been a lifelong “blank page.” At times funny, with heartwarming characters of depth.Themes of self acceptance,letting go of the past,friendship, forgiveness & love.

I blew through this, which isn‘t surprising with still mourning the death of one puppy #Jethro. And #Ringo having just gone under the knife for his neuter, cone of shame in photo, I had time.

This was entertaining, the characters struggles were relatable. Quick and easy read 3⭐️ #botm

Kate Clayborn is absolutely one of my favourite romance writers! Every book she writes, I love and Georgie All Along is no different. Her books, no matter what the premise, always contain the perfect balance of warmth and humour, with that bit of heat.

blurb
willaful
Georgie, All Along | Kate Clayborn

Would this count for “messy bun,“ do you think?

I really loved this by the end, because it had so much warmth and understanding about human foibles, and carved a happy ending out of a pretty complicated situation. I had niggles all through though, because though I love Levi's complex POV and found it very insightful, the way he sees Georgie just never felt like it matched with who she is from her own POV. Might just be a me problem.

willaful I *knew* I was doing a challenge with the prompt “read a book with a yellow cover“ but I forgot to write down the title of it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was #TBRtarot ! @CBee 4mo

Whew, now you KNOW I've been distracted when everything about #BOTM completely slipped my mind. Hadn't given a single thought to sleuthing for spoilers or anything 😱

BUT I'm pretty excited about this box! Something about the description for Georgie just speaks to my soul. And since I already ordered the new Jojo Moyes through Authentic Books, it made it easy to snatch up the other two that look like solid, escapism reads (which is what I need)❤️

marleed I would have gone with The Shards, as well, but forgot to look at the new add-ons before I placed my order. 4mo

This is the first time I have read this author and I quite enjoyed the book. I admit at times I wished for more dialogue and action and less inner thought, but still found all the characters delightful (even the dog) and I loved Georgie's parents. There was also a surprising depth to the story as Georgie comes to terms with who she is and what she wants out of life that would make this a suitable (albeit lighter) book club choice. 4/5 stars
