Coffee Shop Girl by Katie Cross

5.0

This is a cute, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes deep story about more than the romance. In over her head with both her hand me down coffee shop and her debt, Bethany is on the verge of losing everything, until Maverick steps in just in the nick of time. Both have things from their past that they are either running from, or trying to hold onto for dear life. Both have a little bit of vulnerability, though Maverick hides his better. While there are some heavier undertones in the story, and some sensitive subject matters at play, there is a lightness about the book. The characters are well written and well developed. There are some sorta secret thoughts/feelings that are revealed near the end. It is a clean read with only kissing involved and no strong language making it safe for teens and up, though there is talk of abuse and one scene with a small amount of violence.
