I have been Gilmore Girls and Hart of Dixie fan since the shows aired because I love whimsical towns filled with eccentric townies. The Only Game in Town takes place in Redford, a town not that dissimilar to Stars Hollow or Bluebell.
Jess, a girl raised by a young single father, moved back to her hometown after college to stay close to those she loved, but she always had dreams of something more - her job in publishing is her dream but not at the level she once desired.
After the local philanthropist Jasper passes away a town game is announced for the opportunity to win 10 million dollars - the catch is that everyone is matched into teams with their town rival.
Carter, Jasper's grandson, is captured by Jess and the jovial nature of the Redford townspeople and is caught up playing the game as well. But the game leads him to become enamored with Jess.
The story is happy go lucky and an excellent read.
Thank you to Lacie Waldon, Penguin Group Putnam, and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
