How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else by Michael Gates Gill

This was a really cute memoir that can be appreciated by any Starbucks addict/lover. The book is about a man who had it all--great job, family, and lots of $. Well he loses his job and makes a poor decision which ends up ruining his marriage. He's trying to pick up the pieces of his life when he decides on a whim of course, to apply for a job at Starbucks. In the book, he talks about the lessons he learns while working at Starbucks and you get peek into what it might be like to work for this company. Parts are kind of cutsy and cheesy, but that's why I liked it. It was fun, quick and made me want a grande non-fat pumpkin spice latte really bad!
