Shake Up & Smell the Coffee

By: Avery Kane

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Maya Markham just wanted to be one of the boys as a teenager. That meant spending every moment possible with her best friend Nick Griffith.

They lived across the road together. They graduated together. They went to college together.

And then the unthinkable happened, and their friendship ended. It didn’t shatter apart. No, it drifted away in chunks and ebbs, which only makes their bitterness worse.

Eight years after they fell out of touch, Nick and Maya find themselves back in their hometown for good. The only problem is, they’re both a little angry with each other.
Maya has always dreamed of owning her own restaurant. She’s going to start with a coffee shop...with a little help from her family and friends.

Nick isn’t where he thought he would be in life, but the things he’s always wanted most are stability and love. He’s starting to realize that perhaps he was looking in the wrong place all this time.

Maya and Nick want their friendship back. They’re not looking for anything more. Well, at least that’s what they tell themselves.

Some things are meant to be. Some loves can sustain a lifetime of trouble. Maya and Nick are about to find out if they’re one of them.
