Things are never quite what they seem. On the corner, just down the street is a coffee house. You’ve seen it before. Maybe you haven’t paid very much attention to it, after all there are coffee houses on every corner. But this one is different, a little eclectic, the perfect place for all the artsy types. Writers, thinkers, musicians and artists congregate there each day. From early morning to late in the evening, something is going on. Did you know that each of them has a story to be told? Each day is a little window into the life of someone you don’t even know. So join me as we enter The Coffee House and take a peek into the life of a few of the regulars. Who knows, you might make a friend or two.
Review:
[book rating=4.0/5.0]Things are never quite what they seem.
Coffehouse Stories, a short-story collection by debut author Annabella Garcia, is a warm, sweet anthology of interconnected excerpts into the lives of patrons of a neighborhood coffee shop. There’s Mae, the newest member of the coffee house staff; Sissy, also known as “Blender Girl,” is Mae’s coworker and mentor; Claire and Skyler; Craig and Peggy Sue; and, John and Sam. The writing is intimate and engaging, creating believable people and settings. I had no problems envisioning the action, and I don’t even frequent coffee shops. The stories are quick, and left me wanting more, which is a good thing; if they were boring, I wouldn’t care to find out what happens with Mae and Tony or Claire and Sklyer.
Coffee House Stories: 4/5 Stars: Sweet, fun, and inviting; great content that needs a bit of polishing from an editor to be perfect.
Quotes:
“Do I know you?” He looked at her quizzically. She felt like a balloon with a slow leak.
He ended the call abruptly. A look of shock came over his face as he turned and saw a goddess.
