Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Christi

The Espressologist is the debut novel of new author, Kristina Springer.
 It tells the story of a girl, Jane, who works in a coffee shop. She keeps a notebook filled with drink orders, and how they relate to the personalities that drink them.
  Medium iced vanilla latte:
 your smart, sweet, and gentle.
Medium Toffee-nut latte:
 Your unpredictable, mysterious and sexy.
 And so on.
When Jane gets the idea to match drinks -people- together based on her descriptions, the drama ensues. 
The storyline and idea of the book captured my attention. It reminds me of astrology, only through coffee, and being an avid coffee-addict this novel was a must.
The characters are funny, and memorable. The book holds your interest, even though you can pretty much tell the end of the story within the first chapter, it was still a fun read.
This book, fairly thin at 180-something pages, is a fast read, but like a good cup of coffee, it's a pick me up. You'll close it smiling. It's contents aren't terribly deep it won't leave you depressed. 
It's a perfect light, and fun read. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.
