Longtime personal assistant Georgie Mulcahy has made a career out of putting others before herself. So 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.
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.
But 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 wish list, 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-read for everyone who's ever wondered about the life that got away . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Clayborn (Love at First) spins a gentle tale of two people who set out to find themselves and stumble into love along the way. Georgie Mulcahy is only back in her childhood hometown to help her best friend through the last few weeks of her pregnancy. At least, that's what she's telling herself. After losing her glamorous but grueling job as a celebrity personal assistant, Georgie's no longer sure what she wants out of life. When she rediscovers her teenage diary, however, she's reminded of a time when she knew just what would make her happy. Levi Fanning, meanwhile, spends his days trying to redeem himself in a small town that remembers his rebellious teen years all too well. When a series of flukes leaves him and Georgie as unexpected roommates, the now shy and disciplined Levi tries to keep a respectful distance—until he's inevitably sucked into Georgie's chaos. The two agree to work through Georgie's high school bucket list, and chasing her teenage dreams helps them to find grown-up happiness. Readers shouldn't expect a rom-com (there are few laughs here), but the smooth, vivid prose makes it easy to invest in the protagonists' well-rendered character growth. This introspective romance is a treat.
