Coffee Stories

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

(Warning: This contains spoilers!): What happens when an S-tier alpha, someone who swore off omegas after a heartbreak that shattered him, crosses paths with a bold, sharp-tongued omega who's everything he claims to hate? An omega who hides his own wounds behind sass and laughter- someone still unable to move on from the man he once loved so much he wrote an entire book for him... Only for that man to walk away before he ever got the chance to give it. Two butterflies with the same broken wings. Two hearts cracked in different places. Two people who collide instead of meeting. They become rivals before they even know each other's names- annoying, loud, confusing, always pushing the other's buttons as if chaos is the only language they're fluent in. But underneath the arguments and stubborn walls, something unspoken pulls them together: the strange recognition of pain they've both tried so hard to hide. What happens when two people who can't heal themselves accidentally start healing each other- through the fights, the tension, the denial, and the feelings they're both terrified to name?

When Rory and Abby were born, Lorelai and Christopher decided to raise one of the twins on their own since neither of them wanted to get married at sixteen.

One day when Chris took Abby to the doctors for a check-up, a married couple, the Marshalls, had recently lost a baby, and their chance to have another was slim until a miracle happened: Chris decided to give Abby away to a wonderful family and be loved every day. 16 years later, Abby goes to school at Chilton and is at the top of her class. Abby is artistic, athletic, and loves to read with a cup of hot chocolate. Her best friend is Paris Geller, who treats her like a sister.
