Review: Of Literature and Lattes

Of Literature and Lattes Of Literature and Lattes by Katherine Reay
My rating: 💛💛💛

I was looking forward to reading the sequel about Janet’s daughter when I realized there was one.

It had all the heartbreak, anger, emotions and forgiveness you would expect from the continuation of Janet’s story in book one. The characters truly experienced grace and forgiveness and everything worked out after they realized who their true forgiver was.

I listed to the audiobook, and it bothered me a bit that the narrator had a British accent but when speaking changed to the American accent. Especially since the setting was in America.

About the book:


After fleeing her hometown three years earlier, Alyssa Harrison never planned to return. Then the Silicon Valley start-up she worked for collapsed and turned her world upside down. She is broke, under FBI investigation, and without a place to go. Having exhausted every option, she comes home to Winsome, Illinois, to regroup and move on as quickly as possible. Yet, as friends and family welcome her back, Alyssa begins to see a place for herself in this small Midwestern community.

Jeremy Mitchell moved from Seattle to Winsome to be near his daughter and to open the coffee shop he’s been dreaming of for years. Problem is, the business is bleeding money—and he’s not quite sure why. When he meets Alyssa, he senses an immediate connection, but what he needs most is someone to help him save his floundering business. After asking for her help, he wonders if something might grow between them—but forces beyond their control soon complicate their already complex lives, and the future they both hoped for is not at all what they anticipated.

With the help of Winsome’s small-town charm and quirky residents, Alyssa and Jeremy discover the beauty and romance of second chances.

Return to the cozy and delightful town of Winsome, where two people discover the grace of letting go and the joy found in unexpected change.

“In her ode to small towns and second chances, Katherine Reay writes with affection and insight about the finer things in life.” —KAREN DUKESS, author of The Last Book Party
