The Coincidence of Coconut Cake is a smart and delicious debut--a read as satisfying as the last bite of dessert after a lovingly-prepared meal. The novel is as much a celebration of the midwest and regional food as it is a love story between chef Lou and food critic Al. I adored Lou and her quirky makeshift family of restaurant customers and co-workers. Their missteps and milestones kept me racing through the chapters, craving another course.--Susan Gloss, author of the novel VINTAGE "RT Book Reviews, four-star review"

Reichert somehow manages to not only tell a stirring story about modern marriage, but also transport you poolside in Vegas. Simply put, Luck, Love & Lemon Pie is a great bet."--Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE and AFTER I DO "Melissa D'Agnese, First for Women Magazine"
"A lot charming and a little bit magical, Reichert's latest is warm and poignant and romantic... between the humor and the heart lies a subplot of family and setting yourself free -- framed beautifully by a story that won't let go."--Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of The Guests on South Battery "RT Book Reviews (4 star review)"
