There's Cake in My Future is a 2010 romantic comedy novel by Kim Gruenenfelder.[1][2] Expanding upon the chick lit style that defined her bestseller A Total Waste of Makeup, the novel follows the lives of three friends Nic, Mel, and Seema after a future-changing cake pull. The series continues with the same characters after their fortunes have changed,[3] with the sequel Keep Calm and Carry a Big Drink published in 2013.[4]
Reception
The book received generally favorable reviews from critics and audiences.[5][6] Chick Lit Central praised the novel, recommending it to chick lit readers with comparisons to Friends and Sex and the City.[7] Labeling the book a "gimmicky romp," Kirkus Reviews lauded the book for highlighting female characters who are "smart, likable and good to each other," though it criticized Gruenenfelder's use of one-liners.[8]
