Book set in your hometown: Shallow Enough to Walk Through (2013) by Marissa Reaume
Here's my Goodreads review:
This book is set in my hometown. At first I didn't really get a Windsor-ish feel from it, but then she mentioned the "Feather Hat Man". I have seen him often. My sisters friend owns a shop downtown, she says he's nice. She also mentioned the man who wears dresses. People of all genders should be able to wear dresses if they want to. This particular man is mourning the loss of his wife, like that Brother Sharp guy.
The book is a little clunky and repetitive at times, but I still really liked it. It was kind of surreal. At first I was confused about how old fashioned the characters were, but I realize that it's because Mr. Pierce has mommy issues.
I hope women who are dating men like Dan realize that he is actually kind of abusive and leave those jerks. He reminded me of this article by Jenny Zhang.
It mentioned Nutella about 15 times.
