Jane knows coffee, she lives it, breaths it, sells it and as of late she seems to be able to judge people by the type of coffee they drink. Jane is not your average seventeen-year-old. With the final leg of high school being a total drag, and the allure of extra money always around, she applies for a promotion at work, and is stoked when she gets it.
Soon she finds herself matching customers up with one another, based on their choice of drinks. From young teenage love, to senior citizens finding a new partner, Jane seems to be hitting the nail on the head every time. So why is she suddenly second guessing her pairing of her best friend Em, with her college friend, Cam?
When picking up this book, I assumed it would be a cute fun read, and that is exactly what I got. The character of Jane is fun, bubbly and full of life. I really enjoyed how unique of a character she was. She skipped school, but only because she worked, and she knew that she had to work to get herself to college within a year. She was sassy without being a bitchy character and she seemed to really value her family and friends.
The secondary characters complimented Jane quite well. Em was the perfect best friend, who was always there for her, making sure she stayed out of trouble, and forgiving her whenever Jane screwed up. The two, all but read each others minds, and held an incredible bond.
Cam was a great male lead for Jane, with his very laid back and mysterious attitude. He seems to be the calm to Jane’s bubbly, energetic self. He keeps her guessing which I thought was pretty great because work and school seem to come easy to her, but this was a puzzle she had to fight to crack open.
I enjoyed this book although I was a little disappointed by the speed of the story. So much seemed to happen in such a short amount of time, I felt at times the story was a little rushed, or rather, I wish I had more details to read. I would of really loved to get to know some of the secondary characters more or gotten a better feel for Jane herself.
I recommend this book if you are looking for a cute, quick read that will have you smiling throughout the entire book.

Very fluffy read. More of a cutesy teenage vibe than anything deep meant into it.
I love stories which have food/coffee described in them to some extent. This book was filled with coffee references and it was brilliant. The whole idea was a bit farfetched, but was cute.
You sort of had an idea of where the story was going, by noticing sudden stony faces, maybe-jealousy emotions and so on.
All in all, cute but would not read again.

A entertaining story about the Espressologist. I loved everything that is the Espressologist, how the protagonist uses this method invented by herself to act as celestine and match people.
A great and enjoyable reading to have a good time, especially if you are drinking coffee ;)

Reading this book felt like a few too many cups of coffee, actually. The writing was so young, so fluffy, and so gratingly vapid at times that I didn't even want to finish this.
But the concept is something I've thought of myself, so I figured it was worth seeing it through. If you're looking for a completely, almost painfully predictable, light read, this is probably a good place to start.

I thought this was a really good book. It's definitely a light,(as in happy as well as short,) and it's definitely meant for girls. I thought some of the smaller characters weren't put into enough detail, and also I thought that it was way too predictable. I have to hand to Springer, that she was, I admit, able to keep me on my toes. The characters were very relatable, and I think considering it is a chick book, girls will really appreciate this element. Overall, really nice, and it's able to ease one's mind. So I did like it, and I would reccomend it to any girl who likes a good, quick, heart-warming romance.
