Georgia: Britain's Story, Part 1
They say you can't go home again...Britain Palomino-Scott is about to find out if that's true or not. It's been 17 years since she last stepped foot in the state of California, not since he broke her.
Since leaving home at 18, Britain had built a pretty decent life for herself in D.C. - two beautiful children, a fulfilling career, a life partner who was her best friend. It had been a decent life, until her mother died...and her husband left her.
Now, she's determined to find closure with the parts of her past that still haunt her. She has six weeks to spend in her hometown, to work through the dissolution of her marriage, the death of her mother, and maybe, somewhere along the way, she'll get over him too.

Uhhh.. sadly, I didn’t enjoy this one bit.
I was literally so confused reading this. I felt like there were so many characters and I didn’t like literally any of them 😭
The ending was pretty predictable once you start to put the pieces together around 50% and I just didn’t really feel anything. I genuinely don’t care what happens so I won’t be continuing (although I am very intrigued with Alexander)
1. The MMC was not almost 50, you can’t convince me.
2. The FMC was more immature than her children.
3. The plot was everywhere and the writing was very messy.
4. I actually skipped through the spice, I couldn’t do it.
I tried, I’m sorry. 😭

I… hated this? Almost did not finish about 7 times and probably should have. I was skipping whole chapters because of how much sexual content there was. Every character was insufferable.
And yet, there is this teensy tiny part of me that wants to find out what happens next because of the last 10% of the book, but I genuinely don’t think I can suffer through the cringy writing beyond book one.

This was a re-read for me and it was just as good, if not better, the second time around.
Beth can write such a captivating twisty romance with all the spice and character development a girl could hope for. Seriously, by the time you’re done with her books, you feel like you know these characters as real people and you crave more time with them when you’re done. It’s been over a year since I read this last and haven’t stopped thinking about these characters since.
I also love that her characters are imperfect, that’s part of what makes them feel so real. Humans aren’t perfect creatures. They have flaws and struggles and baggage, and you can find those very real things in her stories.
This series may or may not emotionally wreck you, but I am prepared to get hurt again.
I’m so excited to continue this series reread in preparation for her book 4 release.
What to expect:
🚤 Age gap
🌲 MCs over 30
🚤 Single mom
🌲 Second chance
🚤 Small town
🌲 Ex’s best friend
🚤 Love triangle
🌲 Heartbreak

generous rating- I may or may not write a review. a car crash you just can’t look away from is my gut reaction

Georgia (Spearhead Lake, Book 1)
Author: E.L Stevens
Plot: 4.5/5 (rounded up to 5 for GR, which I never do lol)
Spice: 2/5
Painfully spoiler free. Despite how fucking badly I want to scream about this book lol.
First off, I had an entire list of notes and things that I was gunna nitpick about - y’all, I threw it out the fuckin’ window because it doesn’t even matter. It doesn’t even matter!! That’s how much I enjoyed this book! I’m not going to nitpick about it at all… fucking WHAT?! And I was thiiiiissss close 👌🏼 to rating this five stars just purely for vibes…
I think I’ve only done that one other time lol. Who the fuck am I right now?!
This. Fucking. Book. I mean, I get it now. I fucking get it. And I also get why this was nominated for my 12/12 rage reads. It is A LOT of drama, and I can 100% see why the opinions on this book are so polarized. There is so much miscommunication and so much confusion - like, get your chocolate and your popcorn and brace yourselves cuz this is a Thursday night on the CW network lol. You’re either gunna love it, or you’re gunna fuckin’ hate it - and I think a lot of people are gunna hate how much they love it lol.
I’ve been talking to Rebeca @whatsrebecareading about all of this and she had mentioned how Beth has this inexplicable ability to make you enjoy things you didn’t think you liked, and that was very, very accurate. There were so many moments in this where I wanted to throw my kindle, or I was internally screaming at one of the characters for being a fucking idiot. And I was so fucking angry about it, until I just wasn’t anymore - and I can’t even tell you why, it just fuckin worked. I’m not gunna lie to you, I should’ve hated this FMC, and I can absolutely see why people thought I was going to, but y’all, I loved her. The relationship that she has with her mother is extremely relatable for me, to the point where I was feeling physically ill in a few places because of how hard it hit home. But it’s not just with the FMC, all of the characters are deeply flawed and I actually love every single one of them.
One of the other things that Beth has successfully done is paint a picture of how complicated and deep and fucking messy the human condition really is. Every single one of us is a fucking mess. Every single one of us has fucked up in our lives. Every single one of us has thoughts that we’re afraid to verbalize. Every single one of us has hurt someone or been the villain in someone else’s story. And every single one of us deserves love and our own happily ever after despite all of that. No one truly knows what someone else is going through and I think this book does an absolutely phenomenal job of showcasing that and really gives the reader a different perspective to consider. I really did feel a full range of emotions while reading this book and that’s pretty rare. I was so angry and so hurt, it was absolutely gut wrenching in some parts. But then I was laughing and it was relatable but I was also tearing up and it was just, everything.
This book touches on a lot of really deep and hard shit. There were parts that were absolutely hard to read but were very well written. The writing itself was phenomenal for a debut and I was really impressed with the raw talent that I saw in this book. Is there stuff that could be worked on? Absolutely but none of that ended up impacting the overall experience for me, which never fucking happens lol. Pair that with the fact that she fucking SHOCKED ME to my core and I was done lol. I haven’t been rocked like that in I don’t even know how long. Straight shook. Fucking mind blown. Standing ovation, round of applause, chef’s mother fuckin kiss lol.
I’m extremely excited to see how E.L. Stevens progresses and grows as an author because I truly do think that she is a phenomenal story teller and has the potential to be very successful. I’m also immediately starting book two today and I cannot fucking wait to see how this plays out. I haven’t wanted to read all of the books in a series back to back in a very long time. I normally get bored or just don’t care enough to keep going right away, and that’s very much not the case here lol. I need to know. I was actually tempted to start it at 1 am last night but common sense prevailed lol.
Anyway! This got away from me a little bit and yet I feel like I could talk about it forever. This might come down to me getting all my feelings out in a reel or something cuz there’s just so much to unpack. And if you’ve read it, you get it lol.
So… YES I absolutely recommend this book, as long as you enjoy miscommunication lol. I fucking loved it and if you’ve read it drop your thoughts in the comments!!

2.5⭐️
Ok, so this book pissed me off big time…
I barely made myself finish it and not dnf, and that’s just because i kept reading comments that something will happen and everyone was so extatic, so it got me curious.
So the first ~20% of the book is really good. I was really invested in the story, it was well written. In this part is presented how our FMC called Britain is being dumped when she was 18 in one of the worst ways by her then boyfriend (name not specified).
She had never gotten over it, even though she married a nice guy, had 2 kids and a great job, but she never quite managed to connect with her husband in the same way and she never returned home for 17 years since she was dumped.
So now after 17 years, she got divorced and through therapy she managed to find the strength to go back home and spread her mother’s ashes (she didn’t even go to the funeral, she wasn’t very close to her mother) and possibly run into that guy.
Anyway, up until here all good and intriguing, we get glimpse of her strained relationship with her mother as well.
Anyway.
FOR THE NEXT 50% OF THE BOOK you are led to believe that the first guy she meets (called Liam) when she returns home is the same guy who dumped her 17 years ago. And he just says sorry and in the first day they kiss, then after a few days he gets all upset and leaves her for a day and not returning her calls, and then comes back smelling of alcohol, all of that because he wants to have unprotected sex to have babies! 😳
I mean, whaaaat? Be mindful that she’s 35 I think, with 2 adolescent kids and a recent divorce and he’s in his 50s! And he’s acting like a horny 17 year old and all drama queen.
Honestly everything about this Liam guy is all red flags. He only had a long time ago a more serious relationship of only a few years i think, he still tells his mother everything instantly, he’s all super hot or super cold, he asks her to marry him after 3 or 4 weeks i think and prior to that she agreed to have unprotected sex…
Then the last 30% of the book it’s revealed that this Liam guy isn’t the one who dumped her at 18!
Ffs it’s not a murder mystery, i really don’t think this was necessary… even if I had doubts and I hoped that Britain isn’t that dumb to get involved instantly with the same guy, this is how the book was written.
Of course the original guy who dumped her appears now, his name is Matt.
And basically the book finished on a cliff hanger, because drama queen Liam again ran away from her for some stupid reason only his logic can argument (aaand he dumps her at their engagement party).
Britain obviously finds out she’s pregnant with him, but because he cut all communication with her he doesn’t find out only after about 2months or so.
But she decides to stay in her hometown anyway and about a week after Liam dumped her she’s already kissing Matt… So I don’t know who is more drama attention seeker and narcissist etc: her or Liam…
Although i hated Matt for what he did to her when she was 18, he became the only reasonable character to be honest…
So yea, because I’m a masochist I’ll probably read the 2nd book as well 😅

4.5⭐️ first of all, WTF. Second of all, WHAT THE F*CK!!!!!!! I found out halfway through this ends on a cliffy but I’m like..idk how to feel?! I was not expecting that last 20% I finished in two sittings because I had to sleep, but this was so good. It felt like a Nancy Meyers movie with the spice and romance and drama. And, of course, the houses right out of a Restoration Hardware catalogue. You wanna just jump right in and live there. Obsessed. Book 2 can’t come soon enough.

I picked this up because I had some mutuals read and love it.
Let me start by saying I was confused. At first I assumed I missed something but no, it’s intentionally confusing to create a plot twist.
What really disappointed me though was the MMC. Every single time things didn’t go exactly his way, he’d storm off and ignore the FMC. He was a man child who threw a tantrum, yet had a breeding kink and was ready to knock her up after days (literally a handful) together?
This was not it.

Listen, I don’t even know how to feel fright now, but holy moly. If a book can make me feel the full spectrum of emotions, give twists that just keep coming, and an ending that leaves you immediately downloading the next one? It’s 5⭐️ for me.
February 26, 2025
I’ve seen so many people rave about these books but sadly they are not for me. This felt like a not so great soap opera and I just had such a hard time liking any of these characters.
Yes, I finished this in like a day and a half but 40% of this book was rage read. Reading book 2 because I have to see how this ends up😂😅

Y’all this one was not it for me. Instalove is very much not my thing and it never feels believable, so I had that issue the whole time. Unfortunately it felt like every character in this book aside from Georgia was sharing a single brain cell and it was not working for them, or for me 🫠
However I did keep reading until the end. That was partially because this was a book club pick, but I did want to know what happened, so I am not saying it was a bad book, it just wasn’t for me. The spice was spicy and I actually thought it was a little overdone at times (with spicy scenes really close together) but it was well written and mostly not cringey, and the author deserves kudos for that.
I will not be continuing on in the series, a small part of me kinda wants to know what happens but it’s definitely not enough to spend more time with these characters. Unless Sandy gets her own book, I’d read that.

This book!! So angsty, spicy, and so well written. I couldn’t put it down! This story! The intertwined stories! SO GOOD!!!!!!! Ugh I can’t say more because I don’t want to ruin this book for anyone, but god damn it was refreshing reading about someone closer to my age than a 19-20 year old FMC

Is this what 50yr old men act like??
Listen.. there were a lot of things in this book what were actually absurd (throwing my kindle twice in frustration) but the spice was top notch and for that it earned back a star. I’m hoping part two comes out and it turns out all this was a fever dream. That’s the only way any of this makes sense.

I despise this book.
How old are these people? They act and talk like teenagers, but they’re 35 and 50???? You’re literally pregnant with one dudes baby and making out with a different one 3 days later. I hate every person in this book. I don’t even care that it ended on a cliffhanger because I will absolutely not be reading the second one! Ughhh!

So like… a friend recommended this book so we could die in agony together. And here I am dying for the next part. Literally could not put this book down. I. REFUSE to give any spoilers besides. Buckle up buttercup. It’s one hell of a ride.

Loved. The storyline captivated me from the start and I thought I knew exactly what was going on… until I didn’t. What a ride! I’ll be impatiently waiting for part 2 in December.

I read this book as a recommendation from a friend who promised me that this story would break me. I immediately picked it up because I got curious 👀
And I loved everything about it.. I loved reading about people my age, about problems that are relatable, where you constantly wonder if everything will turn out okay. The characters are raw and real, and the pain they feel is described so vividly that you feel it too, just like the other emotions. Highly recommend this series and I would encourage everyone to go into this blindly.
Seriously, no notes!

Loved this book. The characters were extremely real and made mistakes and were messy and had REAL raw emotions that it was beyond relatable. Brit was suffered a big heartbreak 17 years ago and left her hometown, she returns after the death of her mother and finds her way falling in love with Spearhead lake and Liam 😩😩😩 I love Liam I hate Matt. This book was spicyyyyy and heartwarming and gut wrenching.

3.75*
A book full of immature 30+ year olds who throw strops instead of communicating. Very very intense and impulsive dramatic behaviour, but I still loved it like I was watching a soap opera on tv.
Question - why do all the characters call their parents by their first names???
Book 1 ended on a cliffhanger, so I’m going straight onto book 2 to read about more of Britain’s questionable decisions.

3.75 ⭐️ I devoured this in one sitting, which says a lot about the writing style. It is a very well constructed story with a lot of moving parts, people, and relationships. The FMC is mid-30s, which was a breath of fresh air. Good spicy, there does seem to be a love triangle, which I am still undecided if I like or not.

This book was absolutely fantastic.
The spice, the plot, the TWISTS.
I will be continuing ASAP.
DND ON.

4.5 ⭐️
I’m quite sure what I just read, but I know I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m feeling so conflicted about which characters I’m supposed to like (or not), but I think that might be the authors intentions!
Beth’s writing is so captivating and the way she draws you in to every single one of her characters is so impactful!
Also, the ending!? Brb. Downloading the second book immediately!
