One thing that really stood out to me while I was reading was the absolute total vulnerability that the characters were allowed to feel and showcase. It's quite rare to see in romance, especially in male characters, and I loved it. Georgie and Levi had such depth to them and were written with such care. Kate Clayborn has such a gift for writing characters that feel real. I personally found both characters very relatable β Georgie in all of her impulsive, chaotic mess and not knowing what she wants to do and Levi in his quiet, withdrawn introversion. The characters feel like complete opposites at first (the archetypal grumpy and sunshine) but as the story continues and they communicate with each other (such great communication in this) you begin to see that deep down they are very alike in their strength and softness and worldview. I saw one review compare Levi to Cash Wall from Against a Wall and I am so offended on Leviβs behalf. Cash was a petty bully mired in toxic masculinity and unwilling to take accountability for his actions (please excuse me while I take any chance I can to hate on him). Levi is basically the exact opposite of that, just shy and socially awkward. He categorically refuses to let others make excuses for his past behaviour. Oh, and he's a dog dad and it's just so CUTE.
I also appreciated the lack of drama in the family plot. A lesser author would have created a lot of melodrama out of the situation but instead it felt calm, mature, and just well-suited to the characters.

Thank you to @netgalley and Kensington Publishing for choosing me as an ARC reader.
I will start by saying I didn't have any dislikes about this book. I usually have at least one tiff with romance books, but Georgie, All Along was perfection. Georgie, All Along provides the reader with loveable characters, a longing for summer, and the most adorable fictional pup! πΆ
What I liked:
π Hometown, summer romance
π A loveable pitbull πΆ
π Amazing friendship (romance isn't the only relationship highlighted in this book)
π A relatable main character who is trying to find her place in the world
There will be a lot of (deserving) hype about this novel!
You will want to read this book if you're looking for loveable characters, romance, a bit of spice, and an overall heartwarming story.
