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.
