i am so excited for georgie to get out into the world so i can finally talk to someone about her instead of just squealing alone in the house to my dog about it! last year, i was diagnosed with adhd at 37. talk about trying to hide being a mess your whole life! the diagnosis was permission i needed to be myself, which is a little bit of a mess. reading georgieโ€™s story and your newsletter reinforced for me that messes are worthy of love, too. it sounds like writing georgie gave you permission. itโ€™s my sincerest hope that the permission frees you in a way my adhd diagnosis has freed me.

congratulations, kate, iโ€™m so excited for you!

I absolutely love this book, and I really, really appreciate that message (as someone who has always felt like a bit of a mess, myself). <3

Dear, Kate.

I love Georgie, Levi, and Hank so much. Thank you so much for this newsletter. I was on a trip/traveling when I got the newsletter and when Georgie was released. Thanks to Jane from Kensington Books for the eARC (also got approved for Love at First).

Here is my love letter to Georgie, Levi, and Hank https://bookishabby.wordpress.com/2023/02/16/book-review-georgie-all-along-by-kate-clayborn/. I hope I gave justice. It made me feel all the feels and I feel that she is the most relatable character - messes and all! ๐Ÿ’› So I made a playlist. :D And I read the ARC twice already as I wait for my physical copy to be shipped by my mail forwarder. Thanks again to Fountain Bookstore. (sorry for the rambling)
