Once I went camping and I only brought this book and How To Be Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi and I quickly finished both, and realizing I still had three days to go and nothing else to do, I read Coffeehouse Angel over three times in desperation.
  
I do not think it is a bad book, it is very much just a light fluffy read with two pretty pleasant main characters. It's nothing I would think much about if I hadn't read it so many times.  Like soldiers bonding through the trauma of war, I have gained an attachment to this accursed novel after so many back to back readings that I do love it. My analytical brain gives it 2/5 stars but in my heart it is a 5/5 stars book.  All of my friends have become aware of Coffeehouse Angel because I constantly refer to it in my daily life, that is its impact.  

If you are looking for a really easy to swallow read (and are preferably in the middle school demographic) then this will be great for you!  If you are trapped out of service at an old campground with a lake so devoid of fish to even catch fish in, then I may recommend you bring another book lest you be driven to the brink of madness.
