So, I got about 2 pages in, was having a nice start to the reading experience–and then, the main character said she was from Joplin, MO. Immediately had to close the book and come here to ask: Does she ever mention/deal with the EF5 tornado that hit Joplin in 2011?
I just can't consume a second piece of media that sources Joplin as a faceless stand-in for "small town in the southern midwest" (looking at you, Barry) when it has such a specific recent history, and it'd add insult to injury that C&GI is set only six years after it hit.
