Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-21 00:00:00 Rolando Lopez I'm sure Let Them Eat Cake may not be the perfectly executed novel, but wow, did Sandra Byrd speak right to my heart with her character Lexi. I just related to her so, so, SO much. Perhaps other readers out there are perfect, never do anything stupid, never complain, or wish something in their life was different and crave more, but this girl does. Lexi is aware that she has a great life, but just wants that special spark that gives her days meaning, and I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting that, while still being grateful that life is good. Also, Sandra Byrd write awesome first-person narration - not sure why it's not as in these days, but it should be! ;) So perhaps I saw a teensy bit of myself in this novel, and that is where all the love is coming from. Or perhaps it's the fact that it's just a really cute, fun story about a regular young woman just trying to figure stuff out, with lots of yummy descriptions of food and sort of turns the girl-meets-guy trope on it's head. Or possible it's all of those things. And this probably shouldn't count as a real review on account of how many times I started a sentence with or/and, but this is how I feel, and I sticking with it!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-10 00:00:00 Constance Patellos I needed a little break from killing, murder, swearing, blood, guts, lying, cheating, drama, and etc. so I picked this book to finish throughout the other 3 that I'm reading. How refreshing was this read. Thank you to BookBub for giving me the opportunity to receive this book for free on my Kindle. It was a feel-good read with some roots of my childhood Christianity that I lived with for so long. The author, Sandra Byrd, didn't push scripture versus on you while you read but rather inserted them in little blurbs so you can see how scripture can be placed into real life situations. That was refreshing. I have to admit, when I first started reading this I thought that was going to be the main push, I was wrong. The other refreshing thing about this read is that you get recipes from what the main character is cooking/baking/or putting them onto Allrecipes.com. Whether they are real recipes or not, I can't tell you as I'm not handy with kitchen stuff. I'm sure they are, though. You get to meet this whimsical 20 something character that is trying to find her place in the real world after she graduates college. She starts out looking for a man but when her career goes south she is forced to start living with her parents again and so the man-searching is put on hold. She needs to find a job quick to get out of the parents home. As you read about her life going in and out of life situations, you find that God is always there whenever you need him. Even in the smallest of troubles of daily life. I recommend this story to the ones that just need a break from dark deep secret stories. It's a fast read and you won't regret it!
