A Town with Half the Lights On by Page Getz
4.0
When Scarlet's father passes away and she inherits his old home and plot of land, her and her family find themselves treking from Brooklyn to a small town called Goodnight, Kansas. Her husband Sid just recently ran the diner his father and grandfather had before him into the ground and is looking for some time to distance himself from that fiasco, while saving up money to begin again in Brooklyn. What the family doesn't expect is for the city and people of Goodnight to change their lives in the way that they do.
A TOWN WITH HALF THE LIGHTS ON by Page Getz is a small town contemporary focused on love, loss, community, and failure.
It's an epistolary novel, meaning it's told entirely through emails, journal entries, newspaper articles, and letters, which I truly loved. It poses quite the challenge for the author when it comes to presenting us with a full story through these pointed views, bur Page did a wonderful job.
I laughed, I cried, I wanted to eat some really good food, and I just really enjoyed my time in Goodnight. The cast of characters was fun and sometimes kooky and I loved seeing them rally around one another when the going got tough.
At this point in writing this review, I'm realizing this is A DEBUT - I can only begin to imagine what Page might have in store for us next!
