Forget diamonds, chocolate is a girl’s best friend. 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 her three best friends and fellow addicts: sweet, peace-loving Autumn, harried mom Nadia, and sex kitten 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 boyfriend who promises he’ll change, a flirtatious boss, a gambling husband, and a loveless marriage, there’s always plenty to discuss…

By turns hilarious and heartrending, The Chocolate Lovers’ Club brings together four unforgettable women from totally different worlds united in their passion for chocolate.

Lucy demais

O livro conta a história de 4 amigas: Lucy, Chantal, Nadia e Autumn, que se reúnem com frequência, na Chocolate Heaven para alimentar seus vícios em chocolate.

A história conta, principalmente, a vida e o ponto de vista da Lucy, porém há alguns capítulos que narram as vidas das outras personagens (Chantal, Nadia e Autumn), fiquei um pouco decepcionada, pois nos capítulos que seriam das outras personagens as histórias delas eram contadas em terceira pessoa, como se fosse a Lucy contando, gostaria que cada uma contasse a "sua" história, mas tudo bem.

Existem algumas situações engraçadas no livro, no entanto algumas coisas que a Lucy e a Chantal faziam me deixaram um pouco sem paciência.

Sem contar que eu descobri que não sou nem de longe tão chocólatra quando essas quatro mulheres, elas realmente são VICIADAS em chocolate.

O nível de inglês é, na minha opinião, fácil para intermediário.

"I'm Lucy Lombard, and I suppose I'm the founding member because I'm the lucky soul who found Chocolate Heaven first. Today, an ad-hoc meeting of Chocolate Lovers' Club has been hastily convened."
