The Latte List

Seventeen-year-old Mae Carter planned to spend her last summer before college quietly-helping at her aunt's coffee shop, filming for her scholarship project, and maybe rediscovering herself along the way.

But when she creates The Latte List-a simple board of anonymous dares and acts of kindness for customers-the idea brews into something much bigger than she expected. The whole town starts to change. And so does Mae.

Enter Eli Rivers, the mysterious, maddeningly calm barista from the rival café across the street. His dad wants to expand Grindstone Coffee. Mae's aunt just wants to keep The Honeybean alive. And between loyalty, laughter, and late-night talks under string lights, Mae and Eli find themselves caught between competition and connection.

In a season of cinnamon air and second chances, The Latte List asks one question:
How brave are you willing to be for love, for art, and for a place that feels like home?

A warm, slow-burn, small-town romance filled with falling leaves, steamy coffee, and hearts learning how to stay open.
