Didn’t Like It “not very good or attention grabbing, but it had some interesting parts. It was a little obvious where things were going most of the time, including w/Luc, and it took a while for the story to "get going" and it still didn't really "get going" enough - you finally get into it and wham! it's over.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Good Christian Chick-Lit. I thought this was well-written and it kept my attention throughout. Not entirely predictable... made me laugh out loud in a couple of places, ie: "who would think to name a women's clothing line 'Sag Harbor'" Cracked me up! I would recommend this for anyone looking for a light, entertaining read. ”

She went to college, got her degree in French, and graduated without that wonderful career. In fact, she’s just been fired from her job translating nutrition labels. But she can’t tell her family and disappoint her parents AGAIN! In addition, her parents are moving in six months, and she can’t come along. Will Alex be able to stand on her own two feet before it’s too late?

This touching novel left me uplifted. I can’t wait to try the recipes that are included in the text! I was a bit disappointed that the romantic aspects didn’t develop further, but that’s how life is, isn’t it? So, needless to say, I can’t wait for a sequel!!! I loved the warming touch that the images and notes sprinkled throughout the text seemed to provide, offering greater believability. I was completely thrilled with how all of Alex’s loose ends were tied up. God works that way so often. It’s nice to be reminded in my fictional reading that He operates this way. This was a wonderful book – cover to cover.

“I felt the same way about this one as I did about "A Mile In My Flip-Flops", except that this one had a little less romance and a little more of the spiritual things”

“At one point or another, everyone has struggled with many of the same things the protagonist has in "Let Them Eat Cake," which makes it enjoyably relatable. I thought the sequel, "Bon Appetit," (maybe because it was set in France, who knows?) was far better though, which is a rarity in the book world.

All that aside, "Let Them Eat Cake" is still a fun read that'll make you hungry from all the great descriptions of bakery bread and the like...”
