I enjoyed my first novel by Kate Clayborn. This book is a perfect example of a four star read. I wasn’t always enamored while reading, but did end up feeling like it was an enjoyable read.
What I loved:
-I liked the idea of a character who doesn’t have it all together and doesn’t know what she wants next on her journey. That’s so relatable for so many people.
-I loved that the book was dual narrative with Georgie and Levi. I am, in fact, a Levi stan.
-I loved the pit Bull representation with Hank!
-Georgie’s robe. IYKYK.
-The book is set in a fictional (and believable) Virginia town. As someone from NoVa, I approve!
What I wasn’t obsessed with:
-Sometimes I felt like the friendfic was a backseat character and didn’t get enough of an explanation in the beginning (it took a while to get to that point, around 67 pages)
-I personally hated Georgie’s parents but I get why their actions made her the way she was
-I didn’t like the fact that you KNEW at some point Levi was going to run into his family and the whole book was kind of building up to it
-I didn’t find the book to have enough visual description so I could always picture everything but yet I still was able to picture it in my head
