Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani
3.0

Being somewhat local to the area where the story takes place, I think I enjoyed that aspect of the book more than the overall story itself. The romance especially for me didn't work. I didn't feel their chemistry much at all. I also think I enjoyed the movie better. I think it smoothed out some of the things I didn't like about the book, though I would have to rewatch it to be sure.

That being said, I still might read the second book, as I heard it was even better. We'll see.
