The crust was a little too hard for my liking. I would try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

This dessert is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this one was surprisingly good. The crust was flaky and the filling was tart and sweet. I would definitely make this again.
