NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Gilmore Girls fans! Pour yourselves a hot cup of tea and get ready to fall in love with this cozy YA romance that will have you dreaming of autumn all year long.
Fall is a big deal in Briar Glen, a quaint and charming village in New England. That’s when tourists from all over the country descend upon this picturesque town to see the babbling brooks and colorful leaves while sipping hot chocolate or pumpkin spice lattes.
But sixteen-year-old Lucy Kane hates the uber-popular PSL. She finds it overrated -- especially when you consider the fact that there isn’t even pumpkin in it! -- which is bad because she works at Cup o’ Jo, the local coffee shop her mom owns. Business at Cup o' Jo hasn't been great in the off-season, but that's okay because it always picks up during the fall ...
Until Java Junction, a multinational coffee chain, opens across the street and makes things harder for the small shop. And to make matters worse, it turns out Jack Harper, the new kid in school and Lucy's secret crush, is the son of the owner. Suddenly, fall doesnt seem like it'll be all it's cracked up to be. Will Lucy find a way to save her mom's coffee shop?
Customer Reviews
Katie Sitcateli-Suc, Pumpkin Spice and Everything
Katie Sitcateli-Suc’s “Pumpkin Spice and Everything” is a warm-hearted romantic comedy. Her story begins with the star-eyed coffee shop workers and their parents who may possibly feel at odds with one another because they both own coffee shops. Sitcateli-Suc begins building the tension and develops the main characters in the initiating incident: when they meet at high school. I enjoyed the focus on the love for baking and creating recipes. I particularly appreciated the collection of scenes where the two characters started from scratch and created their new and improved pumpkin spice latte recipe. My only disappointment was that I wished the author would have included her pumpkin spice coffee recipe at the end of the novel.
