"Of Literature and Lattes" by Katherine Reay
Of Literature and Lattes
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Contemporary relationship romance; series but stand alone read; mild faith elements
Revisiting the town of Winsome with Alyssa coming back after a complete implosion of her life in California, worrying about an investigation by the FBI into her place of employment and even her, and coming home to the mess that is her relationship with her parents, gradually unfolds as the reader also sees Jeremy's coffee shop, and his relationship with the town, and his customers and his place with his daughter in his life. Life that is messy, real, hurting, and capable of change, hope, and determination to make something right.
Alyssa's talents with business are an impetus to start her friendship gradually with Jeremy. As they both see their lives gradually unfold, and develop around them, Alyssa with her parents, and seeing them for who they really are in her life and their lives as well, and also seeing Jeremy's relationship with his daughter and ex-wife as that is exposed for what it really is, interweaving gradually together in this small town in a way that knits into your heart as theirs knit together.
You'll want to visit this town again, with the heart, the character, and the foibles, loving it all as it combines together to work it's way into your heart. Lovely, heartfelt, honest, hurting, and hopeful read. One of my favorite kinds of novels.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.
