I also grew up very close to that area and so I was like the “Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the tv” meme every time a location was mentioned that I knew. Sitting there like “yes I have also been to Corinth many times and my parents went to Storytown in the 70’s and yes Glens Falls Hospital IS the hospital one would go to after that (even though I think it’s a terrible hospital overall)” So I probably enjoyed it 10x more than I would have otherwise.
And the book did drag in sections.

Haha me too!! It was fun realizing that she did her research on the area, but if it hadn’t been so accurate it would’ve fallen flat for me.
