A week after finishing this (and grieving leaving vacation!), the impact of this book has faded. BUT it was a great vacation read. The characters felt authentic and the premise was fun. Putting Clayton‘s other books on my TBR now!

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.

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.
My choices for #BOTM 💛📚 I really need to cancel my membership 😫 🤦ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸
What did you choose?!

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
I had totally forgotten about #BOTM! Where did this month go?! I chose Georgie based on @swishandflick review!! I think I will save it for summer! 💛📚 The cover of The Last Russian Doll â¤ï¸ðŸ’›
I loved, loved, LOVED this book. Wouldn't change a single thing. The characters, their journey's, the healing, the love. SWOON. #BOTM
Made for a perfect rainy day read on this cozy "self care" day of mine.
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.

Starting this right now.

Plan to start Georgie All Along- have to attack that huge library stack! Other plans: finish Accidental Death & Dearest Josephine,continue with Revelations. #libraryhaul #audible #sundaybuddyread #nunlit
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.
Normally, I steer clear of romance books, but since this was an ARC, I gave it a try. I‘m glad I did. Georgie is a strong female character looking to reinvent herself after losing her PA job with a Hollywood director. Levi, the love interest, isn‘t threatened by Georgie‘s strength. Georgie, in fact, saves Levi. There are some graphic sex scenes-so if that isn‘t something you like (I don‘t) here‘s your warning. 5/5 🌟
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.
After three dark books in my January #BOTM box (and I still have to read two of them), I thought I would go with something light for February! 💛🥰
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)â¤ï¸
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
My #2022ReadingBracket is complete! Poster Girl was my favorite read of December, but it couldn't beat Georgie, All Along. None of the books could. It was my favorite book of 2022. Which is kind of funny as the book doesn't come out until 1/2023.
Georgie, All Along was definitely my favorite read of November. #2022ReadingBracket

I got a bingo after many months of no bingos. And I finished my #DoubleSpin, but not my #BookSpin.
I‘ve always loved Clayborn‘s books, some more than others, and this one fell somewhere in the middle. Georgie is a 28 yo who lost her job as a personal assistant to a Hollywood director (who retired) and has moved back home to VA to figure out her next step in life. While helping her pregnant best friend Bel clean out a room, she discovers a junior high notebook she made detailing what she was looking forward to in high school and how her life 🔻
I've been neglecting my ARCs. So today I'm starting Kate Clayborn's next book.
Release date: Jan 23, 2023. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance digital copy. If you like Emily Henry, this will be your type of romance. Humor and romance bump up against realistic life issues. The side characters are wonderful in their own right and aren‘t just there to advance the plot. Check it out.
This latest from Kate Clayborn was a delight! I loved Georgie and Levi and their sweet, tender and messy relationship. With multiple moments that made me laugh out loud and even more that made me smile, this love story is layered, thoughtful, and real. Clayborn has become a favorite author of mine because she always makes me laugh, swoon, and think. Releases in January, 2023, highly recommend! #Bookspin #ARC @TheAromaofBooks
#October #Bookspin #Bingo card. Even though I‘ll be working a lot this month, I hope to make some progress on my bingo card this month. @TheAromaofBooks
I think I've packed everything I need for the #ReadingRetreat weekend.
The kindle has about 550 books on. And I have six books in the suitcase.
I plan to read the tagged #ARC on the train.
It's my 1st day of a four day weekend and I'm finally getting my August #BookSpinBingo card set up. August has been a little crazy busy for me.
My current book… I‘m loving it so far! Kate Clayborn is an excellent writer and I have loved everything she‘s written… I‘m sure this will be the same!
My first official post to get things rolling here.
I stayed up until 5am last week finishing this grumpy-sunshine, feels-filled, finding-yourself delight, and I‘ve decided Kate Clayborn can do no wrong.
She‘s nailed down her own brand of rhythm and pacing, with a balanced blend of humor and heart.
Her descriptive writing, her lovably flawed characters, and relatable storytelling always combine for a delicious treat from start to finish. ðŸ¤
