Love, Coffee, and Revolution
A Novel

Quotes

“Reading Stefanie Leder’s debut novel was like meeting a person who instantly feels like an old friend. Her unique voice and the integrity of her humor come through on every page. I marvel at how many layers she has folded into her young protagonist’s caffeinated journey of tropical self-discovery.” David Kendall, director of Boy Meets World

“Pair this book with a cup of black coffee acquired directly from farmers in Costa Rica…This story balances a fun romance with the weightier topics of labor and environmental justice.” Book Riot

“In Love, Coffee, and Revolution, Leder shows herself to be a skilled storyteller, with the ability to handle challenging subjects with care and levity; and Dee Blum herself is a plea­sure to spend three hundred pages with.” Jewish Book Council

“Readers will revel in this fun, exuberant blue-ribbon excursion into ecopolitics, disillusionment, and romantic rebellion in a paradisiacal Costa Rican setting.” Shelf Awareness (starred review)

“Leder debuts with a smart and snappy romp…With an unusual setup, a gorgeous backdrop, an earnest political message, and a memorable cast, this is sure to make a splash.” Publishers Weekly

“Romantic, funny, and human, it was a thoroughly enjoyable ride right up to the moment I found out it was Stefanie Leder’s first novel, which I found infuriating and unfair. A first novel is not supposed to be this good!” Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

“Love, Coffee, and Revolution manages the impossible: It not only tackles the big topics—love, identity, the question of ethical consumption in the age of capitalism—it’s also fun, funny, and romantic. Stefanie Leder has written a delightful and smart romp of a novel, and I am so here for it.” Edan Lepucki, author of California

“As romantic and striking as its Costa Rican setting, Leder’s engrossing and hilarious debut may just inspire you to veer off-road in a quest for adventure, romance, and a bracing café chorreado.” Erin Ehrlich, cocreator of Netflix’s Boo, Bitch

“Love, Coffee, and Revolution is a tour de force. Smart and witty, with an unforgettable heroine who you can’t help but fall in love with. I didn’t want it to end!” Kate Ruby, bestselling author of Tell Me Your Lies

“A resonant, whip-smart, laugh-out-loud tale of love, politics, and personal growth. Dee’s misadventures in Costa Rica will have you rooting for her, rethinking your coffee choices, and making sure you ‘eat the freaking chocolate!’ Bold, brilliant, inspiring, and impossible to put down. Tell a friend.” Yvette Lee Bowser, creator of Living Single
