This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was too sour. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this pie. The crust was crispy and flavorful, and the lemon filling was perfectly balanced.

The coconut crust was a nice touch, but I found the lemon filling to be a bit bland. I added some extra lemon juice and zest to brighten it up.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think it would be perfect for someone who enjoys a sour dessert.
