One small town, one big prize, one handsome stranger...
Nothing ever changes in Redford, Georgia. That's what freelance editor Jess Reid loves about her hometown--and part of what keeps her from leaving. Content taking care of her father, a car mechanic who single handedly raised her after her mom skipped out, Jess is resigned to a safe, unremarkable existence...until Jasper Wilhelm, the town's eccentric benefactor, dies suddenly and leaves behind the opportunity of a lifetime.
Financial advisor Carter Barclay has been too busy to visit his grandfather in Redford, but he's heard countless stories about the town and its zany residents from Jasper. A small, insular town in Georgia is the last place Carter expects to be spending his summer--but it seems his grandfather had one final trick up his sleeve.
At the funeral, it's revealed that Jasper has devised a massive, high-stakes game for the people of Redford, with the winning duo taking home his entire fortune. The catch? He's already taken the liberty of pairing them up. As tensions of all kinds rise between Jess and Carter, and the life-changing prize looms closer, the two must decide what they're willing to risk to change their lives. A love story full of spirit and hijinks, The Only Game in Town is a funny, quirky homage to the people we get to call home.

What a quick, fun read! This book had me laughing out loud with some super fun challenges in this competition! I loved how Jasper paired up the teams. It was so heartwarming how some of the friendships were mended through this game.
I loved the small town setting…it had a Sweet Home Alabama kind of feel to it. All of the great characters that really made this book special. I absolutely loved Carter and Jess was so much fun with her colorful clothes/outlook on life.
I really enjoy Lacie's writing style. This is the second book that I have read of hers and I can't wait to read more!
Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Group Putnam & Lacie Waldon for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
