The acclaimed author of Love Lettering weaves a wise and witty new novel that echoes with timely questions about love, career, reconciling with the past, and finding your path while knowing your true worth.
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 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.
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 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.
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 . . .

I'm so disappointed I didn't like this book more. I really liked all the characters, but it was just so completely forgettable.
Georgie and Levi are both ne'er-do-wells. Levi's got the reputation of being trouble, and Georgie just can't seem to get focused. When Georgie returns to her hometown after losing her job, she finds an old notebook full of things she had planned to do in high school, and she decides to take on those tasks now. And then she meets up with Levi...
I'm definitely not the target audience for this book, and it honestly did not work for me, but I've seen lots of other positive reviews, so I generously nudged my rating up a bit.
This is the first book in a long time that I've finished in a single night.
