After a bit of a slow start, I found myself drawn in to Welcome to Cappuccinos. Each chapter giving a small vignette into the life of Venti, Art, Otis, Singa, and everyone else's lives. A great read that's easy to pick up and put down as time allows, though I found it harder to put down the more I read. Serious drama, funny wit, and some downright tender moments made for a rollercoaster of emotion that kept me coming back for more, and wanting to hit the local Starbucks in hope of being served by a gentle giant of a red, black, and gold jackal ;3

A bit too much drama and stereotypes (I'm not into muscles furs for that matter anyway), combined with quite predictables turns and endings. A classic gay soap opera. The short mini chapters however set a very nice and refreshing access to the storyline. Most of the main character species are quite interesting and not so common either which can be hold as one of the most outstanding novel features in total. Last but not least, I really enjoyed the overall supportive open-minded attitude of the various family backgrounds towards their homosexual members, offering a lot of social and mental encouragement to the reader as such.

Here is a book of the strange variety that one can't really judge if one is interested in a flowing plot. The problem lies with the fact that very little of note actually happens in this book. The characters go about their daily lives, but once you are finished reading, everything just fades. Already, I am forgetting what I had read because there were no events that grabbed me. One would say that the draw of this book are its characters, but I did not find myself terribly drawn to any of them. If you enjoy character pieces, you might want to give this a look, but if you are expecting something with high stakes, you will not find it here.
