Harriet Ainsley is losing the will to live. Forced to rely on her mother's paycheck, failing all six of her classes, and losing her job due to redunancy is not all. The one stop coffee shop she used to work in is just a locked up shop with a 'for sale' sign slanted on a battered white post outside. Having no money to her name to save the quaint shop, let alone to buy a single coffee bean, how will Harriet succeed in bringing the small shop back to life? Is it really worth all the effort to save just one small shop?

Things to Consider when Reading: This book as of February 2023 has gone under major editing since it was first written beginning 2017. I will not be editing it further, but in no means do I think it's perfect or no longer cringey, I just need to leave it be before I end up changing the whole plot. This book was written when I was in year 10/Freshman in High school. It's cringey, I wanted to be edgy. I'm so genuinely embarrassed by it that I can't bring myself to read the comments past the first few chapters. Don't judge, be kind to my young, edgy, emo self.

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul by gemmalanebooks

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?"

The Unexpected Deal by Dumbheee

As Marilyn Luna steps into the crowded coffee shop, the scent of freshly brewed coffee fills her nose, and the chatter of strangers surrounds her. She never expected her life to change forever, but fate had other plans. After a chance encounter with August Donavan, a familiar face from her past, everything she thought she knew about herself is turned upside down. Marilyn, who always felt invisible, is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, but her secretive past keeps her a mystery to others. But it's when she meets Kai Hayes, the school's football captain, that the complexities of love, friendship, and family come crashing down on her. His piercing gaze sees through Marilyn's walls and into her soul, and for the first time, she feels truly seen and that terrifies her. As they talk, the clatter of cups and plates fades into the background, and Marilyn's heart beats faster with each passing moment. However, when Marilyn unexpectedly gets caught up in a lie, she must choose between her own desires and protecting the people she cares about or risk it all based on a lie. The weight of the decision bears down on her like a ton of bricks, and she feels like she's drowning in a sea of uncertainty. As she struggles to find her place in the world, Marilyn realizes that the path to self-discovery is not an easy one. She must confront her past and overcome her fears to truly find herself. In a story filled with emotional twists and turns, Marilyn must navigate the highs and lows of life to discover what truly matters. The aroma of coffee and the hustle and bustle of the coffee shop fade away as the reader is swept into the rollercoaster of Marilyn's life, feeling her triumphs and her pain as if they were their own. ******************************************************************************** ORIGINAL STORY BY DUMBHEE
