Some women are addicted to shopping, others can't get enough of champagne. Some like to curl up with a good book and others want a night out on the town. But there's just one thing Lucy Lombard can't live without and that's chocolate - rich, creamy, sweet, delicious chocolate.
For her there's no substitute. There's nothing it won't cure, from heartache to a headache, and she's not alone. Sharing her passion are three other addicts: Autumn, Nadia and Chantal. Together they form a select group known as The Chocolate Lovers' Club. Whenever there's a crisis, they meet in their sanctuary, a café called Chocolate Heaven, and with a cheating boyfreind, who promises he'll change; a flirtatious boss; a gambling husband and a loveless marriage, there's always pleanty to discuss...
This is the heartwarming story of four friends, brought together by a love of chocolate, but bonded together by their friendship.
Carole introduces fours different characters, all very different, and all with different problems. Yet despite their different backgrounds, they all manage to help and support each other.. often with hilarious outcomes.
As a reader, it's a joy to find that they're all likeable.. their situations are believeable, and you care about what happens to them. It's almost like having them as your friends too. :)
Although the ending does wrap up nicely, it's also left open for the sequel, which is out later this year. I'm very much looking forward to it.
This is one of the best 'chick lit' books I've read for some time, with an interesting mix of characters, and believeable situations. It's both touching and funny, and is highly recommended!
