Loved it loved it loved it! great book,was sad when it was finished! definately worth a read

Fantastic chick lit. I couldn't put this book down!

Can't wait to start the follow on book!

Really enjoyed the book once I got into it. I found it a little slow to start but got really exciting towards the end. Can't wait for the second book to arrive to see what happens next.

So, it's the Easter holidays I'm 15 and bored as hell. And, because it's sunny outside, I (like all teenagers probably do nowadys) stay in doors watching daytime telly (the same thing I've been doing for 2 weeks *yawn*). So in the last attempt to banish my bordem I head down to the library (another thing teenagers probably don't do nowadays).
I have a choice of three: Shopaholic and Sister from the popular Shopaholic series which I have nearly all read, The Jane Austen Book Club which I was very interested in or this one - The Chocolate Lovers' Club. I read the blurp on the covers of all three and I'm tempted by them all. However I am taken in more by the bubbly, funny story of Lucy Lombard and her three best friends that enjoy chocolate as much as I enjoy reading.
It only took me 3 days non-stop to read it, I just couldn't put it down. I was taken in by the humour of all the characters and their stories. I loved the way the characters just got over getting back their stolen goods or catching their boyfriends cheating when something else goes wrong in their lifes or they have their one second of lifes happiness. And, in some way, I felt myself understand the characters in certain stages of their stories. I can compare myself to Lucy more than anyone - I would've knocked over the bookcases too.
And now I've enjoyed the first book, as soon as I find time I will get on to The Chocolate Lovers' Diet which I've been told is funnier than the first one. When I've finished that one and read the rest of the Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella (which I strongly recommend as it will make you cry and laugh all the way through) I will read more novels by Carole Matthews (which will be hard to choose as they all sound brilliant). I'm so happy that I chose this book instead of the over two and cannot wait to read the next adventures that Lucy, Chantal, Autumn and Nadia get up too.
So next time your bored I suggest you forget doing the housework or buying clothes that you probably don't need, and pop down the library and borrow their copy of this book because it will keep you entertained for hours and you'll find it hard to put it down - so it's a good excuse for not doing the housework or cooking or, in my case, boring maths revision.

I love all of Carole Matthews' books and this one was eagerly awaited with anticipation. I usually buy them to take on holiday with. This one I started reading on a flight to Rome, where my husband couldn't get any sense out of me! I like Carole Matthews' humour and her easy to follow narrative style. One thing though! The characters all meet up in a coffee shop cum chocolatiers on a regular basis. The descriptions of all the sumptuous chocolate creations make my mouth water and after reading this book all I could think about was eating chocolate! So not a good idea if you are dieting!!
