Coffee and Kung Fu

Though I don’t care at all about Kung Fu, I loved Karen Brichoux’s Coffee and Kung Fu. The (brief) comparisons to martial arts movies are fun and even interesting, but it’s the author’s descriptions and dialogues that really make this book stand out. One line in particular, which I can’t remember exactly so I won’t ruin it by paraphrasing (it had to do with a rainbow), was so lovely that it made me shiver. This isn’t as light-hearted or funny as my other chick lit favorites, but something about it really speaks to me, so I’m still giving it 5 hearts.
