Books set in small town America…

Hey fellow readers,

As the title suggests I’m looking for a book set in small town America. Think settings like Stars Hollow, Everwood etc. I love literary fiction, character driven, with a sense of community and family dynamics. A book with substance to it. I’m not looking for a super light read, but also not something depressing and heavy either!

So I’m not asking for much really

I’m from the UK but spent time traveling across America and visiting small towns that were so magical to me.

I also lost my mum when I was younger and my family is very small with no extended family to speak of. I’ve always felt like a piece of me was missing, I think that’s why I gravitate towards books and films with big, loving families and a sense of home.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
