Description: An overworked college student with a secret ability helps to investigate a harmful product while falling for a new crush, in this cozy romantic fantasy by debut author Caroline Bonin!
Brief description: Caroline Bonin writes books about big, magical feelings and girls who glow in the dark. She studied the Irish harp and creative writing at Oberlin College, and received a master's degree in digital marketing from Arizona State University online. After college, she worked as a barista in various cafes and fell in love with the craft but now works for a marketing agency. When not writing or reading, you can find her playing video games, lifting weights, hiking, sewing, or exploring local coffeeshops. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her partner and our three cats: Poptart, Nightingale, and Laura Bailey. A Barista's Guide to Love & Larceny is her debut novel.
