This book, in my mind, will be known as the Sweetness of
Coconut Cake for how absolutely adorable it was. I was thrilled by its comparison to You’ve Got Mail and just had to read it. Elizabeth (Lou) Johnson owns Luella’s, a French cuisine restaurant in Milwaukee which she has
poured her heart and soul into. Al
Waters, a transplant from the U.K. (swoon) is a tough food critic and writes for the
local Milwaukee paper. Coincidentally,
these two likable characters meet cute at the Milwaukee Public Market, the same day
Lou catches her fiancée with another woman, and Al is scheduled to dine and
review Luella’s. You get an idea of what will enfold but it's still so wonderful to follow along with these two as they blindly fall in love. Plus, it's a nice bonus, for many people, to see Milwaukee in a fun and new light.
