Of Literature and Lattes

 

I have never lived in a small town but found this book to be just what I would imagine.

Of Literature and Lattes by Katherine Reay is a sweet story.Alyssa, having lost her job in a scandal type shake down, finds herself moving back to Winsome IL. She tries to build a relationship with her mother, Janet, after burning bridges. The mother daughter relationship is a complex part of the story.

Jeremy moves to Winsome to be near his daughter, Becca. He buys the coffee shop and totally remodels it. To the dismay of the once steady customers. With not much business, he is constantly losing money. As he struggles to make a go of the shop, his ex-wife continues to give him grief.  With the ending a little bit of a surprise.

There were several secondary characters that added interest and complexity to the story line.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
