Hello lovelies! I'm back joining my friends Heather at Blonde ... Undercover Blonde and Megan at A Day in the Life for Book Club Friday! This week, I am reviewing There's Cake in My Future by Kim Gruenenfelder.
There's Cake in My Future
Synopsis: After listening to her friends' latest travails in love, parenting, and career, superstitious bride-to-be Nic believes she as the perfect recipe for everyone's happiness: a bridal shower "cake pull" in which each ribboned silver charm planted in the cake will bring its recipient the magical assistance she needs to change her destiny. Mel, still ringless after dating the same man for six years, should get the engagement ring charm. The red hot chili pepper would be perfect for Seema, who is in love with her best male friend, Scott, but can't seem to make their relationship more than platonic. And recently laid-off Nic wants the shovel to symbolize hard work, to help get her career back on track. Nic does everything she can to control who gets which silver keepsake -- as well as the future it represents. But when the charmed cake is mysteriously shifted from the place settings Nic arranged around it, no one gets the charm she chose for them. And when the other party guests' fortunes begin coming true, Mel, Seema, and Nic can't help but wonder ... is the cake trying to tell them something? [excerpt via book cover]
Review: There's Cake in My Future is a fun summer read that from the minute I started I couldn't put it down! The story is written from each characters POV (in first person) and as the POV changes from chapter to chapter, you have the opportunity to learn more about each of them and can easily relate to their feelings and emotions. One would think it may be confusing to switch POV's as you get into the head of each character but it actually finds a fascinating perspective especially as the story unfolds. There's Cake in My Future is a funny, enjoyable book that takes you into the lives of three 30-something women who are heading into different and NEW stages in their lives. If you like romantic comedies that are engaging and entertaining then this book is a MUST-READ for you!
