Let me say, from a quaint, gossipy town perspective, this hits all the adorable, quirky, small-town, crazy-fun of what makes people love and hate being from a small area. Emmeline Frothingham couldn’t wait to break from her country roots and move to the big city after college. A dream job, The Event and quite a few mishaps later she finds herself back where she grew up.
Whitney Dineen perfectly weaves the characters of Creek Water in an enthusiastically rich and colorful display of family, gossips, troublemakers, and misunderstandings-turned-blessings from small town America.
We all found this to be a light read, most readers in clubs finishing it within a day or so from start. It has a few drawbacks on heavier topics, but this book is meant to be light and it didn’t distract from the overall enjoyment. I must add to anyone who grew up in a small community: whether you hated or loved growing up there, this book will make you nostalgic over your hometown roots.
