In Espresso and Echoes, Hazel, the proud owner of a cozy café/bookstore called The Book Nook & Brew, finds her quiet routine disrupted when Liam Carter—her high school crush—unexpectedly walks through the door. As memories of unspoken feelings and missed opportunities resurface, Hazel navigates the emotional tension of reconnecting with someone from her past. Through a simple exchange over coffee and shared nostalgia, Hazel realizes how much she’s grown—and that sometimes, the best chapters of life are the ones you never saw coming.
