I got attracted to Carole Mathews' book covers. I was thinking if she could design such cute covers then her books must be great. This time, I can't be faulted for judging a book by the cover.Sex in the City feels in the UK and bonding over love for chocolate. I felt a few do-not-finish-this-book moments because of how the main protagonist, Lucy Lombard was made out to be twit in love and work. Or how you can get who she'll end up with and Lucy doesn't. But Chantal, Autumn and Nadia do notA light-hearted and amusing piece of chick-lit, I enjoyed this book. It is fun, but no literary masterpiece. A good holiday read.Lucy Lombard, a 30-something London office temp, has a passion for chocolate. She haunts a place called Chocolate Heaven, where hand-made, exquisite chocolate products are created and sold by the owners, gay couple Clive and Tristan. Recognising three fellow chocaholics among the shops clientele, she forms the Chocolate Lovers Club, and they meet at regular intervals
It was a perfect reading for summer. It was entertaining and I enjoyed it.
As a chocolate lover and connoisseur, reading The Chocolate Lover's Club by Carole Matthews was a given. There I sat downloading the book onto my trusted e-reader, waiting in anticipation for the delectable goodness. Opening up the book, it was just like peeling off the wrapper of one of my favorite chocolates. Starting to read, I imagined myself popping that piece of deliciousness into my mouth as I dove into those first few pages. However, after the first chapter, I knew that the chocolate
This book sounded like the perfect light read for my vacation- a tight group of friends bonding over exotic chocolates and tales of woe should be an automatic chick-lit home run. Unfortunately, this book was more a swing and a miss to me because the main protagonist Lucy was clearly more caricature than character.I would like to believe that no self-respecting young woman would truly be so proud of her ability to stick with a serial cheater of a boyfriend. I would like to believe no
To tell the truth, I almost gave up at halfway but I persisted because I believe in the plot. After reaching halfway, I think I'm entitled to believe that the storyline is good and that I will not regret continuing to end.I almost gave up because I almost couldn't stand it when the character of Lucy Lombard, main protagonist, was illuminated as an irresponsible non-thinking idiot (I cannot be anymore scathing without having to repeat myself many times). However, I don't know if she was just
I decided to review both books together as I read them one after another and I also believe them to just be one continuing story. They were at best okay. I found the main character Lucy to be quite irritating. A woman who never really finds herself and relies on her happiness and success to derive from men. That being said, none of the women in this book are that inspiring. The closest would be Autumn but for most of the books she spends her time being a doormat for her drug addicted brother.
