Why read it?

1 author picked Small Town Sins as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was an amazing book. When you think something could not get any worse for a person it does, and then again and again, and in the cruelest way.

I could not help but laugh at people's bad luck, others I felt overwhelming anxiety for them.
