What’s your drink of choice? Is it a small pumpkin spice
latte? Then you’re lots of fun and a bit sassy. Or a medium
americano? You prefer simplicity in life. Or perhaps it’s a
small decaf soy sugar-free hazelnut caffe latte? Some might
call you a yuppie. Seventeen-year-old barista Jane Turner
has this theory that you can tell a lot about a person by
their regular coffee drink. She scribbles it all down in a
notebook and calls it Espressology. So it’s not a totally crazy idea when Jane starts hooking up
some of her friends based on their coffee orders. Like her
best friend, Em, a medium hot chocolate, and Cam, a toffee
nut latte. But when her boss, Derek, gets wind of Jane’s
Espressology, he makes it an in-store holiday promotion,
promising customers their perfect matches for the price of
their favorite coffee. Things are going better than Derek
could ever have hoped, so why is Jane so freaked out? Does
it have anything to do with Em dating Cam? She’s the one who
set them up! She should be happy for them, right? With overtones of Jane Austen’s Emma and brimming with humor
and heart, this sweet, frothy debut will be savored by readers.
