This book is about a small town. It introduces each person in the town with their own chapter. If you've ever lived in a small town, you will recognize many of the characters (with a different name of course), but every small town has one. There was a small problem with the e-copy I read. I read location 1902 then it went to 1908 which was the same page. It then skipped to location 1915 and here I could tell I had missed part of the book. It didn't stop me from enjoying the book, however, just kept me from giving it 5*.
