Review: Small Town Life
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 01 29, 2014
A disappointing book in that it has rather a hackneyed plot seen so many times in books and movies.  A young man returns to the town of his teenager years with a cloud hanging over his head and the townsfolk have long memories.  If you want a quiet read before bed, this is not hard and there are some beautiful descriptions of the town in winter, but it lacks originality, with so much of what has been done before.  I am sure Karly Lane can branch out, have a glass of red and be more creative in the plot and  not just her choice of descriptive words.  We can all associate with the characters but they seem to come from central casting and you guess the conclusion well before the last page.
