After fleeing her hometown three years earlier, Alyssa Harrison never planned to return. Then the Silicon Valley start-up she worked for collapsed and turned her world upside down. She is broke, under FBI investigation, and without a place to go. Having exhausted every option, she comes home to Winsome, Illinois, to regroup then move on as quickly as possible. Yet, as friends and family welcome her back, Alyssa begins to see a place for herself in this small Midwestern community.
This is an awesome book! Of Literature and Lattes is the first book I've read by Katherine Reay and it will not be the last. This book took me back home. Although not from Winsome, Illinois, I felt a connection to the town's sincere nature. Everyone recognizes and shows genuine concern for one another. The emotions that hit the surface while I read made me feel like I was back home. I really enjoyed the authenticity of Reay's characters. They were so brilliantly imperfect and I enjoyed their determination to find effective solutions. As in any good story, there's a lot happening; just enough to keep the reader intrigued, yet not overwhelmed. I was amazed at all of the facets of the book and was sorry to see the story end. Hopefully, Katherine Reay will return to Winsome, Illinois, in a sequel.
