Suzanne Selfors

From the author of Saving Juliet comes a romantic comedy that is good to the last drop. When Katrina spots a homeless guy sleeping in the alley behind her grandmother’s coffee shop, she decides to leave him a cup of coffee, a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans, and some pastries to tide him over. Little does she know that this random act of kindness is about to turn her life upside down. Because this adorable vagrant, Malcolm, is really a guardian angel on a break between missions. And he won’t leave until he can reward Katrina’s selflessness by fulfilling her deepest desire. Now if only she could decide what that might be . . .

I don't really have much to say about this book, but it was an easy read, because I wanted to know how things would turn out in the end so badly.

This is basically the story of a girl, Katrina, who's helping her grandmother save the family business when a new and more trendy coffeehouse opened just next door and is threatening to take over.

There's also the typical romance thrown in there, but I honestly didn't care much who she ended up with at the end. I only really cared about the coffeehouse and wanted them to turn the tables on the lying douche ruining their business from next door.

For all purposes, if you're in it for the romance and all that, she basically finds a boy lying in the alley and leaves him so food and a warm drink. Turns out he's an angel and wants to reward her for her kindness by giving her what she most desires. Suffice to say that things go a bit downhill from then on, because she doesn't really know what she most desires and keeps saying anything that will make him go away, and so the wishes she makes go wrong and even get in the way of the whole saving grandma's coffeehouse process.

Also, Katrina only has two friends and gets a bit jealous when one of them starts dating, because it means he's not there for her whenever she needs him.

As I said, I wasn't really all that interested in the personal life of the main character, though I'm glad she found something she was really good at (even if the results didn't really come as a surprise for me), but the whole plot surrounding the coffeehouse was good and I kept wanting to read more and more to find out if they could save it or not and if so, how they'd do it.

All in all it was a good book, so I'm giving it 4 stars, even if I didn't care about half of the plot.
