8.23.2017 - George & Lizzie

George and Lizzie by Nancy Pearl

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Touchstone and Nancy Pearl for the opportunity to read and review this book.

As stated in the title, this is the story of George and Lizzie. As unlikely a couple as could be - George was raised in a perfect, close family while Lizzie was raised mostly as a psychology experiment by her two professor parents. Lizzie gets into a relationship with George cautiously, one foot in and one foot out, because she can't let go of her past. Her secrets threaten the relationship at every turn.

The book was written in an interesting way, tying in Lizzie's past and football notes in between chapters. Until I got used to it and figured out all the players, it was a tad confusing to me in the beginning. The end redeemed the book for me. I thought the writing was great but Lizzie's character was a bit much and the fact that George stayed was pretty amazing.

3.5 stars - an interesting read.
