'Laugh-out-loud funny, this book is exceptionally good.'Chick Lit Club
Love, Lies and Lemon Cake is a hilarious, bittersweet comedy about taking your life back before it's too late.
Faye Dobson has lost her sparkle. Living on film star fantasies and vague memories of a marriage that once was, she can't help feeling that life is passing her by. She dreams of being whisked to Paris for dinner, making three wishes at the Trevi fountain and having sex under the stars. But the wrinkles are multiplying, her husband's passion is for plumbing, and the nearest she'll get to Rome is a take-away pizza.
So when Faye meets Dan the gorgeous Australian surfer guy working in the local deli she can't help but wonder what it would be like to see the world. He is blonde, tanned, ten years younger and bakes the most amazing lemon cake. Unlike her husband Dan actually listens to Faye, his smile makes her feel fizzy inside, and when he smiles... Oh. My. God.
But is Faye being silly? What would Dan see in someone like her? Even if he did have feelings for her, could she give up everything to be with him?
If you enjoyed Love, Lies and Lemon Cake, don't miss its hilarious sequel Love, Lies and Wedding Cake.

'I absolutely loved this book... Sue's witty, hilarious writing style had me hooked from page one, and I adored the cute and clumsy Faye, who is given the choice of living a life she has dreamed of. Sue Watson is a brilliant writer, a wonderful new talent with a fantastic style and lovable characters. I devoured this book in one sitting, and I'm already waiting for Sue's next offering!' 5/5Chick Lit Uncovered
'Love, Lies and Lemon Cake is a deliciously hilarious book that will have you laughing out loud and rooting for the new Faye! From vajazzled lady parts to fake bake, orange self-tanners, Sue Watson's humor is brilliant and spot on! This is the perfect book for summer! Don't walk, but run out and get this book. You will be glad that you did!' Book Mama blog
'Now that I've read all of Sue Watson's books I can say this has to be her best yet. Even though I really enjoyed her two previous ones, there's something about 'Love, Lies and Lemon Cake' that screams with honesty, warmth pouring out of its pages... a wonderful, original story full of heart.' 5/5This Chick Reads

'Sue has an absolutely amazing way of making you feel the emotions of her characters, and making you step into their shoes.' Kim the Bookworm
'The book is a magnificent read about never letting go of your dreams, and never being too old to follow them. It has humor in all the right places and the characters all have their individual quirks to keep the reader interested. I was hooked from page 1 of the book and found myself whizzing through the pages to find out what would happen between Faye and Dan and whether she would get to that New York rooftop. CompellingReads
