Katrina is a teenage girl who lives with her grandmother in their coffee shop. Her parents died when she was three years old, so she doesn't remeber them very well. When Katrina sees a homeless guys sleeping in the alley behind their shop, she decides to be kind and leave a cup of coffee and some pastries for him. Little does she know that this single act of kindness will flip her whole world upside-down. She lives in a little town called Nordby, that attracts lots of tourists. Right next to her grandmother's coffeeshop is Java Heaven, a coffeeshop that recently moved in next to them, and because of it's more contemporary style, has stolen all but a few of their customers. Meanwhile, she finds out that the myterious homeless guy is actually a guardian angel, and that he has to repay her good deed by giving her what she most desires.
This book reminds us that when we do a good deed we can change the lives of others, or even our own life. When she left the coffeeand pastries for the man in the alley, she did not expect a reward. But in return, although a lot of things had to go wrong before they went right, she found that her life unexpectedly changed for the better.
Coffeehouse Angel is written in first person, and is narrarated by Katrina. She takes you on the journey of her life, while she is struggling to find her place in this world. The author tries to help you see and understand what it would be likt to live in a little town, as a teenage girl who's life is tumbling down one step at a time, and how she searches for her role in life, and creates new unexpected friendships.
This book is definately a chick-flick, and is aimed at teenage girls. It is probably aimed at junior high to high school level girls who love a good romance novel. It is also a quick read, with a comfortable flowing plot line. If you love a romantic story with a sweet fairytale ending, then this book may very well be right up your alley.
"From the author of Saving Juliet comes a romantic comedy that is good to the last drop."

"COFFEEHOUSE ANGEL is a light-hearted tale of love and friendship. Suzanne Selfors uses wonderful language to describe the small town and its quirky inhabitants. The reader easily feels like one of the family and will want to organize a campaign to close the evil Java Heaven."
