Description: Phillip, Sarah, Kaitlyn, Caleb, Maxine,
Grant, Melanie and Josh grew up in a small town where they spent their high
school years together as an inseparable clique. But high school has ended, and
they are all living their own “grown up” lives, each under the impression that
their group has basically come to an end. When Phillip dies in a hit and run
accident, Kaitlyn summons the others to all come back home, forcing a reunion
that no one is particularly interested in partaking in.
Coffee at
Little Angels follows how each character deals with the death of a childhood
friend while at the same time dealing with their own ignored demons after years
of separation. Events unfold as the group tries to rekindle the friendship they
once shared to honour the memory of a friend they will never see again.
Review: Going
home again is never quite the same in Coffee
at Little Angels by Nadine Rose Larter.
When their
friend Phillip dies, his friends return to their small town and come together
as one since high school. Yet, this tight clique is anything but tight anymore.
In fact, they can’t seem to stand each other, but they must find a way to
rekindle their friendship and honor the memory of their friend who bound the
together.
Coffee at Little Angels is a character-driven story. The reader
follows all the characters in a first person narrative as they deal with their
friend’s death, their current lives, and the lives they left behind after high
school. As a reader, the first person point of view changes from character to
character are sometimes difficult to follow. I often had to flip back and see
who was talking. The central plot revolves around the friends as they deal with
their friend Phillip’s death. There is a hint of mystery behind it, but the
questions are left unresolved at the end of the novel. The social injustices
filtering into the background of the story are poignant. The emotions run high in
Larter’s work. I smiled and laughed at some points. Others, I teared up.
