In the sweltering heat of a Montana July, the small town of Grandview readies for its annual Jamboree. The event is meant to celebrate community, but this year tensions boil over, threatening to tear the town, and a family, apart.Sam Kelvig, a third-generation resident, will do just about anything to protect Grandview from the influx of new oil money and the strangers chasing it. Meanwhile, his restless wife, Patricia, wearies of the constraints of marriage to a man who is so tied to his community; Sam s estranged son, Norby, has reluctantly returned home despite the family s struggle with accepting his sexuality; Henrik, Sam s volatile brother, is looking for any easy opportunity; and Blanche, the family matriarch, only wants a bit of peace before she dies. As Jamboree goes into full swing, the disputes and desires of the Kelvigs and their friends and neighbors collide, fueled by both longtime resentments and an irrepressible hope to preserve their family and hometown."

Mehso-so

I loved the 600 Hours of Edward trilogy by this author and was so looking forward to trying his other works but sadly I didn't care for the characters or the plot of this one.

I also found it super confusing having two characters with the same name and one of them testing out a new name. I don't feel this was a great choice by the author.

At the time of posting this book is available on Kindle Unlimited.

I am TERRIBLE at Pic Collage!
1. I want the Christmas box from Homemade Decades
2. Peanut- I have convinced myself they are healthier. Please allow me my fantasies 😊😉
3. Nancy Drew. ❤️
4. A rock star. In spite of the fact that I can‘t sing and don‘t play an instrument.
5. 45. And I am loyal to that number in spite of the fact that it has let me down numerous times.

TheKidUpstairs I could never figure out Pic Collage either! And everyone says it's so easy, glad I'm not alone. And yes! for the Nancy Drew love 🔎💖 6y

Bklover @WarpedSweetness Thanks! And yes, that Homemade Decades box sounds great! I‘ll get one one of these days! (edited) 6y
WarpedSweetness @Bklover You're welcome. I really suck at using photo editors in general. I found the freestyle.mode much easier to manage. And it is great! I didn't get it this most recent month unfortunately, but every box I have got has been awesome. 6y

This was my first novel I reviewed prior to publication and I loved it. Set around a small town Montana festival, this is the story of a family and its members' conflicting lives when everyone comes back to town. Had no expectations with this book and was pleasantly surprised. Just a good, solid, fulfilling book.
