5) The Espressologist

Ohmigosh i just LOVE this cover; it makes me want to go to Starbucks :)
Okay so on to the book (let's stop judging it by it's cover...although both are great). I finished this book a  weeks or two ago and I've just been so busy lately that I haven't had time to write about it. Let me just say, though, that the book was amazing. I still remember it and the story was heartwarming and made me smile and, not for the first time, made me wish I were a barista. Ok so the main character, Jane, has been working as a barista for a while and she's started to notice links between the type of person someone is and the drink they order. She records all of her observations in a notebook which she keeps on hand at all times. She's even gotten so good, that she sometimes silently guesses the type of drink someone will order before the words even come out of their mouth. Her guy friend just got through a tough breakup and is looking for someone new. A mutual friend is single and just the right type of girl for him. Jane consults her notebook then matches the two with great success. She later matches up her best friend Em and Cam, the guy who sits behind her in a college class she's taking. Soon, her boss Derek hears about her successful matches and gives her a job to do: every Friday night for 4 weeks she has to match people up based on their drink orders as an attempt to get more business. The events grow more popular and Jane soon finds herself matching people she never would've thought of helping. However, the question is, can Jane find her perfect match?
The Espressologist was a great read and lots of fun. A true chick lit novel :) happy reading peeps!
