All eyes are on Chloe Sanderson. Despite her and her boss being the inspiration for best friend Annie’s romantic comedy, Coffee Girl, Chloe knows that real life isn’t like the movies. Chloe’s an optimist, but she has no room in her life for a relationship, especially with her boss, Nick Velez. From caring for her father with early onset Alzheimer’s, helping Annie with wedding planning, studying for her business degree, whipping up delicious pies, and working at Nick’s coffee shop, there just isn’t enough time in the day for romance. So why can’t she stop thinking about Nick and reading articles praising his perfectly gruff but sensitive demeanor? Chloe will have to be convinced that swoon-worthy love can happen offscreen, too.
VERDICT The sparkling dialog and hilarious banter in this second in Winfrey’s series (after Waiting for Tom Hanks) will dazzle readers craving a self-aware rom-com. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Nora Ephron.
