"Tripio" resonates with anyone who's felt the pulse of a cafe or cradled a warm cup from 'Starbies'. It's a heartfelt tale weaving the art of coffee, the craft of writing, and the transformation into parenthood. Any cafe veterans (self included) would see reflections of their own stories in its pages—a genuine treat for any coffee lover or life's barista.

I enjoyed this book. It truly reminded me of my time with Starbucks.

However, it isn't my type of book. That's not the book's fault. I'm just not really into realistic fiction. The narration is sort of a stream of conscience type. Which is intriguing because I kept trying to see if anything seemingly unimportant became important. That's from my mysteries though I guess.
