More often than not, the plots are a variation of "woman in the big city gives up her job, leaves her (admittedly bougie and shitty) boyfriend, and moves back to the small town she grew up in where she hooks up with her old boyfriend who, in spite of his working class salt-of-the-earth appearance, has money."
absolutely. the emphasis on the "small town" (usually disgusting american suburb) being better than the big bad city is a big part of american chud ideology. sorry city slicker, REAL culture can only be found in america's (often white) suburban small towns!
