Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani
5.0
Pleasantly surprised by this book. The name sounded a bit hokey and didn't really inspire me to read the book, but I found a cheap copy at a thrift store and picked it up anyway. 'What the hey.' I thought, 'I can always bookcross it!'
Imagine my surprise when I was completely enthralled with this book. It was not your cookie cutter plot. There were so many twists and turns that I never knew what was coming next. The characters were sympathetic and nothing was completely ridiculous. I could see something like this happening in real life.
I don't really want to say much about the story, because it's just too good to spoil with any hints. It's about life in a small town near Appalachia. It's about family and love. It's about friendship and learning more about yourself.
Just do yourself a favor. Give it a shot.
