Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe - Paperback

by C. B. Lee (Author)

"Endlessly fun" --Washington Post

A geeky overachiever determined to save the world through science and a troublemaking chosen one lashing out against her destiny meet and fall in love in a magical coffeeshop as their two very different universes begin to collide in the deluxe trade paperback edition of Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe, C.B. Lee's fun, sapphic, cozy fantasy YA romance featuring gorgeous sprayed edges.

When Brenda's internet goes out right before an important scholarship deadline, she stumbles right into Kat's family's coffeeshop. Brenda is swept away by cool, confident Kat, who actually cares about Brenda's 19-step plan to save the world through science. Meanwhile, Kat can't stop thinking about Brenda, who is smart, passionate, and doesn't seem to care that Kat is the prophesized Chosen One.

The only problem? Kat and Brenda are from different universes. Like need-to-find-a-portal-to-go-on-a-second-date different universes.

As their universes collide and things spiral out of control, can a girl who is determined to save the world find love with a girl determined to outrun her destiny?
