Derek Winnebaker is a down on his luck barista who loves nothing more than a good book and a strong cup of coffee. Unfortunately for him but fortunately for this novel his next read ends up taking him on an unexpected journey.Inexplicably drawn to a novel about a fantasy creature called a grimkin, known for their luxurious tails and excellent sense of smell, Derek begins using the book to shake up his life, marching from plot point to plot point with the surefootedness of a bona fide protagonist: asking out his crush, standing up to his boss, even leveling a giant or at least an extremely tall guy in a bar.
