This is a story about small towns, big relationships and being true to yourself no matter what. Annie Jones describes small-town life from the perspective of someone who moved to one later in life and had to put in a lot of effort to be accepted by the locals. I totally empathize. Honestly, if Annie and I had ended up in the same small town I think we would've become fast friends just for our shared love of books, Ted Lasso and the Beatles alone. This is a very relatable book for anyone who's upended their lives and moved to somewhere new to start over. The entire book feels more like chatting with a friend than it does reading a memoir. I love her sense of humor, her straight-up honesty, and her candor about personal things like religion and pregnancy and grief. I look forward to sharing this book with a few of my own small-town friends.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review the free ARC of this book.
