Notes
General Note
"Previously published as George"--Dust jacket.
General Note
"Hey folks, just a reminder that I made a huge mistake in the title of my first book, GEORGE. That is a name my MC never wants to hear again. She is fictional and it's in the narrative for a reason, but the title could have been just about anything different. I'm sorry, Melissa."--Tweet from the author, @lxgino, December 2, 2018
General Note
Author requested publisher to change name of title in 2021, previously titled "George."
