okay i also just want to say that the first time georgie tells levi 'i love you' is probably my fave scene i've read in a book in a long long time it's just UTTER. that scene with Bel toward the end in which George really finds herself

THE FINAL REVELATION OF HOW AND WHY THE FRIENDFICTION STARTED i was tearing up (i truly have no idea how to insert images or gifs but pretend i'm inserting 69 tina belcher gifs here) GEORGIE MY CHAOTICALLY RESOURCEFUL MOONBEAM GREMLIN the way he loves his dog? men who are overprotective of their formerly mistreated dogs have rights. but kate clayborn takes a simple story and makes it SO SPECIAL AND MAGIC AND CHARMING and before you know it you're ready to abandon your spouses and your cats and move into her books permanently and never look back. i mean, at heart Georgie is such a simple story: girl goes back to small hometown to figure herself out, girl meets older brother of her high school crush (who also happens to be the former town bad boy), they fall in love. So i just finished this book and i'm a bit shell shocked at how good it was so this review is not gonna be coherent at all, more like an unhinged list of all the things that made me fall so hard for this book. Honest and deeply emotional, Georgie, All Along is a smart, tender must-read for everyone who’s ever wondered about the life that got away. 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.

But this quiet, grouchy man is more than just his reputation, and he offers to help Georgie with her quest. 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. To an overwhelmed Georgie, the diary’s simple, small-scale ideas are a lifeline-a guidebook for getting started on a new path. and back to her hometown, Georgie must confront an uncomfortable truth: her own wants and needs have always been a disconcertingly blank page.īut then Georgie comes across a forgotten artifact-a “friendfic” diary she wrote as a teenager, filled with possibilities she once imagined. When an unexpected upheaval sends her away from her hectic job in L.A. Longtime personal assistant Georgie Mulcahy has made a career out of putting others before herself.
