The Espressologist, by Kristina SpringerYoung Adult, 2009
A fractured retelling of Emma (Jane Austen), this story is about Jane, a coffee-girl who can stereo-type by what drink they order, and then play matchmaker to make her friends happy. It gets a little out of control, though, when she's put on the spot at work making matches. And why is she so unhappy about her best friend Emily being with Cam? After all, she did set them up, so they should be perfect together, right?
Cute, but a little cliche, the characters didn't have much depth. Worth a read, but watch out - it might make you thirsty.
Raspberry: C+.
