The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert
3.0

This book was rather predictable, and I saw whole plot arc coming from the first 40 pages, but it was sweet and fun and lovely (just like I imagine coconut cake must be). Lou owns a restaurant (French, because her overbearing fiance said so, but she could cook anything anywhere). Al is a scathing food critic who writes under a pseudonym and hates living in Milwaukee. You already know where this is going, right? doesn't matter. it's still a fun read, and I enjoyed it.
Made a lovely, if unintentional, book flight with Kitchens of the Great Midwest - another fun foodie Midwest jaunt, albeit with more serious themes sprinkled in.
