ReceptionAuthor Jonathan Lethem called Crosley "another mordant and mercurial wit from the realm of Sedaris and Vowell." David Sedaris called her writing "sure-footed, observant and relentlessly funny." Kirkus Reviews called it "Witty and entertaining";[2] the Seattle Times said "this book about nothing is riveting to the very end";[3] The New York Observer described it as "a funny book, and also a wistful book and a touching book".[4] Elsewhere, the San Francisco Chronicle reviewer noted that while the book featured "sharp, self-effacing humor", the book's style reveals the author as "too clever for her own good" and "not... very, well, nice", though that by the book's end, "we forgive her deceptions".[5] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/books/bestseller/0427bestpapernonfiction.html|title='Paperback Nonfiction'|date= April 27, 2008|work=New York Times|accessdate=4 April 2010}} {{essay-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9781594483066-0|title='I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley'|last= |first= |date= |work=Powell's Books|accessdate=4 April 2010}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/books/2004325432_cake04.html|title='"I Was Told There'd Be Cake": Savvy, funny musings of a 20-something'|last=Edwards |first=Haley |date= April 4, 2008|work=Seattle Times|accessdate=4 April 2010}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.observer.com/2008/adorably-ageist-flack-vaults-generation-gap|title='Adorably Ageist Flack Vaults Generation Gap'|last=Dalva |first=Nancy |date= April 8, 2008|work=New York Observer|accessdate=4 April 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/13/RV4FVLIVB.DTL|title='Sloane Crosley: A funny, snippy New York girl'|last=Elson |first=Rachel |date= April 13, 2008|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=4 April 2010}} 2 : 2008 non-fiction books|Essay collections |
