In this fun novel, a group of women show that the solution to all – or almost all – of life's problems is chocolate.
Chocolate. This isn't as simple a word as it seems. It can mean the cure for a headache and even determine a person's psychological profile—at least for Lucy Lombard, the protagonist of Carole Matthews' hilarious The Chocolate Lovers Club. Lucy and three best friends—Autumn, Nadia, and Chantal—come together to, with the help of lots and lots of chocolate, face difficult everyday problems: a cheating boyfriend, a flirtatious boss, a gambling-addicted husband, a loveless marriage... After all, is there anything better to ease tension, heal broken hearts, and create a story as sweet and entertaining as this one?
According to Lucy, an uber-chocolate addict, if someone hides their dark side, it's because they're the kind of person made of high-cacao chocolate. The delicacy can also be used to convey the temperature: "(...) it was really hot that day—the kind that made (...) chocolate bars with caramel and rice krispies melt in your bag."
