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?

Some stories are soft. Some are chaotic. And some are just pure confusion. A collection of funny, emotional, comforting, chaotic, and heart-fluttering one shots filled with teasing, tiny moments, loud fights, soft love, and unexpected feelings. Some are strangers. Some are best friends. Some are lovers. Some are heartbreak. But somehow, in every universe, they always find their way back to each other. Konjam kaadhal. Konjam comedy. Konjam confusion.

So when his new neighbour turns out to be Pierre de Santis- rockstar, tabloid prince, and walking disaster- Myles knows exactly what to do: ignore him. Pierre, unfortunately, has other plans.
