It was ok, but not quite believable for me to really get into it. Although it is interesting to see how different the lives of small-town people can really be, I felt the characters weren't quite developed enough to run the story--rather, the story ran them. I did appreciate the idea that everyone has something to learn from someone else, but that there are better ways to live than others. And I like the idea that people come into our lives to help us. I just wish it had been more thought-out.
