This is the perfect book for the people who love reading, books, bookshops, coffee and the community of readers. This book perfectly encapsulated the thoughts and feelings of loving books, owning/working in a bookstore and how reading can enhance life. 
I loved the community in this book and how well the author writes very realistic characters that you come to adore. Speaking of the writing - this was wonderfully written, I could almost smell the coffee, and hear the voices of the customers in the bookshop!
This is for fans of “Before the coffee gets cold” and, maybe a bit of a stretch, but “Legends and Lattes” as well!
