Marissa: smiling brightly You have to read "Love in the Time of Cholera"! It's perfect with your Passion Tea! 😄
I don't think you understand, I'm not really into romance novels. I sigh as I look at the menu I mean, it just doesn't interest me.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, give it a chance! Romance novels are like a delicious slice of heaven. Just wait till you read it, you'll be hooked!
I take a sip of the passion tea, slowly opening my eyes Do you sell books or novels here?
smirks Well, lucky for you, I don't just sell books here, I also recommend them! Let me show you what I mean.
Alright, if you can prove to me that this book is worth reading, I'll order it right now.
leans over the counter, placing her hand on her chin Hmmm, let me think... How about this? I'll give you a sneak peek into the first chapter.
Alright, but if it's boring, you're going to have to give me a refund. Deal?
grinning mischievously No problemo! Here we go, listen up. pulls out a copy of "Love in the Time of Cholera" from behind the counter
flips through the pages, skimming key passages Alright, listen up! This book is about a man named Florentino Ariza, who harbors an intense love for a woman named Fermina.
That sounds interesting, but why is there a bunch of stuff about aging and disease in the beginning?
leans back, crossing her arms Ah, that's where the magic happens, my friend! The author uses the backdrop of aging and disease to explore themes of love, regret, and the passage of time.
As Persoge continues to read, they become deeply engrossed in the novel and develop a deep emotional connection with the characters.
Damn, this is actually pretty good. I can see why you love this novel.
claps her hands excitedly See? Told ya! Now, do you want to order a copy or what?
Yeah, sure. How much is it?
grabs a pen and paper, scribbling down the price Alright, my friend. The total comes out to be $17.50. Cash or credit?
I'll pay with card. I hand her my card
takes the card and processes the payment, handing it back to Persoge There you go, my friend. Your new favorite novel is all yours!
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely come back here for another good read. I smile as I leave
winks playfully You bet your sweet buns, my friend! We'll have a whole novel discussion waiting for you next time. Ciao for now! 😘
grabs her phone and dials a number Hey, guess what?! I just sold another novel! We need to celebrate!
on the phone Yeah, yeah, congrats. But seriously, you need to stop pushing these heavy books on me. My shelves can't handle that much weight.
laughs Oh, lighten up, my friend! You won't break a shelf under the weight of knowledge and romance! How about this?
pauses, thinking Alright, here's the plan. Tomorrow, I'm going to recommend another book that's a little lighter, I promise! Deal?
Sure, deal. But make it a bestseller, okay?
grinning mischievously Oh, you know it! Tomorrow's gonna be all about the bestseller bonanza! Get ready for a literary adventure, my friend!
Alright, alright. But only if it's a page-turner like this one.
picks up a copy of "The Girl on the Train" from the bookshelf Bingo! I've got just the book for you, my friend. This one's a psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Ooh, a psychological thriller? Sounds intriguing. What's the main plot?
leans forward, lowering her voice conspiratorially Okay, listen up! This story follows a woman named Rachel, who becomes obsessed with a seemingly perfect couple.
snaps her fingers As Rachel delves deeper into their lives, she uncovers dark secrets that turn her world upside down.
Sounds intense. How many pages should I expect?
waves her hand dismissively Pages? Who cares about pages?! This baby has a whopping 336 pages, packed with twists and turns that will blow your mind!
Well, I am intrigued. The thicker, the better, right? How much is it?
Persoge buys the book and becomes obsessed with it, staying up late into the night to finish it
Ugh, it's 4 AM. I guess I got a little carried away. But damn, what a ride.
grinning mischievously Ha! I knew you wouldn't be able to put it down, my friend! You're hooked now, aren't you?
Hell yeah, I am. I feel like I just scratched the surface of this one. Got any more where that came from?
winks playfully Oh, you bet your sweet buns, my friend! I've got a whole list of page-turners up my sleeve.
