Angela's Diner is a cute little place where friends and strangers gather to share stories. An order of coffee and tears is commonplace, bringing in a variety of stories from many walks of life. Many of the stories intertwine in unexpected, yet believable ways. Spangler has been able to introduce a wide variety of characters without making the entire story disjointed. It really is a series of short stories, but not in the brief unsatisfying ways that short stories usually occur.
Being able to listen to, and attempt to help many customers, while dealing with their own issues makes the employees of the diner both endearing and enduring.
I think it would be enjoyable to visit Angela's Diner.

I was expecting a light fluffy read, and was pleasantly surprised; this is a really well written book and an excellent read. The characters are likeable and developed well. Coffe and Tears is really about the lives of people who have suffered challenges in life (like everyone does), and who are estranged in one way or another from family. The book tells the tale of how they come together to form a family of their own, revolving around a small diner in a large city.
