Small Town

Book Trope

Picture this: you’re in a small town with nosy neighbors and county fairs and someone is finally returning from the Big City. The local coffee shop will know their order, and everyone will know their name. Not only do they return to their roots and find romance in unexpected pairings, but they find a community as well, one that’s boisterous and supportive and has been exactly what they’ve been looking for all along.
