Quotes
“I have never really read a book that so beautifully and expertly charts the feeling of first love in
the way that it’s so full of desire and passion, but also obsession, you know, even anger. The spark that exists between these two men just leaps off the page.” - Georgia (on Call Me By Your
Name)
“I got married in 2019 and that’s when I started writing this book because I realized that
wedding planning was no joke. It’s really tough. It also just brought up so much stuff for us.”
- Georgia (on her new book, Island Time)
