In five pretty cafés, blend women friends and their modern day dramas with to-die-for coffees and scrumptious cakes and serve. Bon appétit! Five Aussie friends calling themselves the 'Cafe Birds' meet regularly to share the ups and downs of life, love, and bird ownership over skinny and not-so-skinny cappuccinos and cake. Paige's marriage to a PTSD-afflicted soldier and her newly established business both hover on the brink, but will the solution to one push the other over the edge? A devastating discovery rocks the foundations of Caitlin's world, thrusting her into the arms of an unconventional - did someone say imaginary? - new friend. Burdened with a generous helping of secrets, a bad-tasting batch of guilty conscience, and a disagreeable serving of gluten intolerance, dinner party doyenne Megan has a lot on her plate. As does lonely widow Nita, who feels her life and relationship with her recently 'Goth' teenage daughter have come adrift. And gorgeous Grace appears permanently typecast as trophy girlfriend to a succession of unworthy suitors, a situation that can't go on forever - not if her friends can help it! Readers of THE CAFE BIRDS had this to say: 'It made me laugh.' 'It made me cry.' 'It made me hungry.' It's LITERAL "chick" lit!' 'It made me want to meet ALL my girlfriends in a pretty café and laugh, cry and eat.'
