Publisher Description
In Town, James Roy turns his hand to the short story, using it to explore the lives of the young residents of an Australian town. This town doesn't have a name. But if it seems familiar, it's because we recognize the people who walk its streets. From the serendipity of an unexpected moment of connection, to the sadness of leaving home, and the pain of the desperate decisions we make, these stories take a personal and uncompromising look at life. Love and loss, grief, humor and passion. Hope and hopelessness. Thirteen linked short stories, spanning a year in the lives of thirteen young people, from a town near you.

Almost Perfectly Disgusting
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
This is truly the most awful piece of English literature unto which my eyes have ever been assailed. The only motivational force for me finishing this book, was the fact that I had to study it for English class. Until now, I could not fathom how awful a piece of writing, which has undergone expensive copywriting, editing, printing and revising, could be. Although some of the short-stories in this book may be quite interesting, they are not well written, or structured. Hopefully this has convinced you, not to purchase this rubbish.
Honestly worst book I've ever read
This book is terrible. Honestly, it's terrible. No I don't think you believe me yet. This book is terrible. It's about a town full of normal people doing normal stuff. Who cares about this?
