Goergie

Reading Georgie felt like stepping into a world that was both familiar and intriguing. What I loved most was how the book explores relationships, family, friends, and authority figures, and the way these connections shape Georgie’s experiences and choices. Kat Orgovany captures the tension, humour, and complexity in these interactions so authentically that it felt like I was right there with Georgie, navigating the ups and downs. References to things like Nirvana and Six Feet Under added little touches that felt classic and relatable.

I also really enjoyed that the story is set in Victoria, Australia which made the novel nostalgic to me. The descriptions of streets, schools, and neighbourhoods made it easy to picture the world Georgie moves through, and I found myself visualising the settings so clearly that it felt like I could step into them. That grounding in familiar spaces added an immersive quality that made the characters’ journeys even more engaging. It reminded me how much setting can shape the tone of a story and make it resonate more deeply.

This is a book about loss and grief, identity, growing up, and the messy ways that relationships evolve. Reading it left me reflecting on my own experiences and the subtle ways connections shape who we are. It is thoughtful, authentic, and quietly powerful, offering a story that lingers long after you have finished it. The balance of humour, tension, and heartfelt moments makes Georgie both entertaining and meaningful, and I know it is a book I will continue to think about well beyond the final page.
