Sunday Morning Usual

by Reyna Pingul

Overview

Heartbreak, coffee, and the art of moving on.

Harper thought she had it all figured out: the perfect job, a promising future, and a love story destined to last forever. But when her relationship ends abruptly, she finds herself adrift in the sprawling chaos of Los Angeles. Her solace? A quirky coffee shop called Nightmare King, where every order comes with a side of sass from the baristas and a faint hope of healing.

As Harper navigates the messy aftermath of heartbreak-awkward first dates, the sting of an engagement party invitation from her ex, and memories that won't quit-she learns that self-discovery is a journey best served with cold brew and cinnamon. Along the way, unexpected connections and laugh-out-loud moments remind her that letting go is the first step toward finding herself again.

With wit, warmth, and a dash of romance, Sunday Morning Usual is a love letter to resilience, the quirks of human connection, and the power of a really good cup of coffee.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O'Leary, and anyone who's ever found comfort in their favorite café, this is the story of picking up the pieces-and realizing the best chapters are still unwritten.

About the Author

Born in the age of Disney Princesses and a destiny to dwell in nostalgia, it isn't surprising that I live and breathe Happily Ever Afters. I once wrote a story about a certain famous gecko as a prince in love with a chameleon princess, it was wildly under circulated mostly because it was an assignment, my 3rd grade teacher loved it. She encouraged me to keep writing and to embrace the whims of my imagination. After a failed foray into Hospitality my freshman year of college, I decided I needed a break to figure out what I really wanted for my future. I spent many a year in banking before I realized I had lost focus on what called to my soul, stories. I was still a voracious reader, but my writing had taken a back seat to adulthood. Naturally, I made the foolhardy decision to get a degree in English from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, eventually going on to get my MFA in Writing from the University of San Francisco. I loved both of these experiences and look back on them with great fondness. So anyway, I work in finance. I have found a delicate balance between trying to adult in this economy and nourishing my soul by surrounding myself with stories and writing happy endings. When I am not taking way too many pictures of my doggos, Thyra Winifred and Eloise Nightingale, or adventuring around the PNW with a tiny stuffed octopus named Oswald, I am probably drinking tea, reading or writing, and watching the 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy.
