The Only Game in Town by Lacie Waldon
4.0

3.5 Stars, rounded up ⭐️

Thank you NetGalley & Penguin Group Putnam for the ARC!

I loved the small town charm in this book and I enjoyed that the romance was just one element of the bigger story. The premise was unique, a little quirky, and a lot heartwarming.

The cast of characters was dynamic, despite being it being a bit difficult for me to keep track of all of the side characters at the beginning. I liked the multiple POVs and how telling the story that way shed light onto secondary characters motivations and feelings.

While I liked that the romance wasn't the main focus of the plot, I do wish it was flushed out just a little bit more.
