Book Overview

"A delightful tale, full of heart." -Evie Woods, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop

Welcome to the Time Hop Coffee Shop, where wishes can come true...

Greta Perks was once the shining star of the iconic Maple Gold coffee commercials, the quintessential TV wife and mom. Now fame has faded, her marriage is on the rocks, her teenage daughter has become distant and Greta's once-glittering career feels like a distant memory.

When Greta stumbles upon a mysterious coffee shop serving a magical brew, she wishes for the perfect life in those past Maple Gold commercials. Next thing she knows, Greta wakes in the idyllic make-believe town of Mapleville, where the sun always shines and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and second chances fill the air. Given the opportunity to live the life she dreamed, Greta is determined to rewrite her own script. But can life ever be like a coffee commercial? And what will happen when Greta has to choose between perfection and real life, with no turning back?

Customer Reviews

Perfectly lovely!

A perfectly lovely cozy listen for the holidays! I am sure everyone has wondered at one time or another if their life could have been different from what it is, whether it is trouble in relationships or finding it hard to connect with your teenager. And that is what Greta Parks is experiencing, wishing life could be like a Maple Gold commercial (something she got to experience for years as an actor with her family being the face of it). Like other cozy fantasies, this book gets a touch of magic from a mysterious coffee shop that can grant wishes (sort of). It is a wonderful tale of finding the truth of what you actually want, reconnecting with family and learning to love them because they are not perfect, and living in the present, not stuck in the past which always looks better due to rose colored glasses. I really enjoyed listening to this and following along with Greta as she experiences something magical and finds her way during a holiday season of many changes. It hits all the right feels. The narrator, Nicola Barber, does a wonderful job in bringing the characters and magic of the coffee shop to life and I am glad I got the chance to listen to this!
