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.

Hi and welcome to my first official book review on this site!

Honestly, the whole idea of writing a “proper” or longform review is intimidating as hell so I’m not going to even try (at least not for my first few posts…we’ll see).

Anyway, here we go!

Hi! We’re trying this… again!

January 16, 2023 by Lisa and Ellis

New year, new us (sort of)! After a few intermittent co-blogging adventures between the two of us, we both woke up with the urge to start book blogging/reviewing again. That was over a year ago.

Anyway! If everything went right, you can see us in the right sidebar: Lisa is a 30-something avid romance reader who’s previously blogged at Romances Ever After and who has been on a decade-long campaign to get everyone to #ReadTheMarchetta. Ellis is a 30-year-old translator who used to blog at Paper Riot and Finding Bliss in Books. And together we’ve set up this space for when one of us gets the sudden urge to write, review, or blog about something.

Personally, we’re very curious to discover how often that will be, but we genuinely hope you like what you find on this blog! And to kick things off right, we’ll delve into our favourite reads of 2022 and the books we’re really looking forward to reading this year. Feel free to share your own, and in any case: welcome!

Hi!

We’re Ellis and Lisa: longtime readers, once dedicated book bloggers, and now occasional reviewers! Years ago, we probably bonded over a very deep enthusiasm for all things Melina Marchetta and kept that going with a shared love for dramatic love stories, being emotionally compromised by our favourite authors, and having a rather irregular internet presence. While this blog will probably prove to be an(other) experiment in discipline and follow-through, we mainly just wanted to have a space for when one of us gets the sudden urge to write, review, or blog about something. New posts might be just as much of a surprise to you as they are to us, but we do hope you enjoy what you find here!
