I got this as a free or .99 book and didn't even read any reviews or synopsis about it and was surprised to be reading a book about my hometown. I had a terrible time focusing on the story because I was so hung up on the way she describes Poplar Bluff. I think if you are going to use a real town name in a book you should keep the details accurate. This may have been Poplar Bluff in 1920 but it is a pretty big city and the author makes it sound like a flashing light, blink and you'll miss it kinda town. Now don't get me wrong there are plenty of those towns near there that are exactly as she describes the town but just use one of those town names. I know crazy thing to get hung up on but it bothered me. If you've never been to this town before then you won't even notice it. Other than that the book was just ok.
