Sphere The Chocolate Lovers' Diet: the feel-good, romantic, fan-favourite series from the Sunday Times bestseller

"The Chocolate Lovers' Diet" catches up with Amber, Lucy, Nadia and Chantal and picks up where Ms Matthews' previous novel "The Chocolate Lovers' Club" left off.Lucy is all loved up with Crush but ex-fiancé Marcus is still lurking in the background, Amber is seeing her co-worker, Chantal is still trying to make a go of her marriage to Ted and Nadia is still separated from Toby but he swears he has given up online gambling. The only constant in these 4 women's lives is the knowledge that if the call "chocolate emergency" goes out they will all rally to the cry and meet at Chocolate Heaven.This book could be read as a standalone novel but as this is a sequel to "The Chocolate Lovers' Club", I would definitely recommend reading the first book before reading this book just so that you can fully get to know the characters.I loved this book - it was an easy, fun and enjoyable read showing just how important friends are in everyone's life.

The club are back - Nadia is still not sure whether her husband Toby has kicked his online gambling habit; Chantel could be pregnant, but who's the father? Lucy is puzzled about the lack of communication from Crush in Australia, and the omnipresent Marcus, her ex; Autumn is still worried about her drug addict brother, and his effect on her new relationship with Addison. There are problems to be solved and challenges to be faced all with the help of friendship and chocolate. This is a feel good book, which has its serious side. The wedding scene is laugh out loud funny and would hardly be out of place in an Ealing comedy. I loved it.

I love Carole Matthews but have not liked some of her boks( It's a Kind of Magic?)I didn't fancy this at all as not a chocolate fan and thought it would be about dieting/ overeating etc. I could not have been more wrong-it is a brilliant book, one of her best .It focuses on 4 women who become friends and their work issues,relationship issues and friendship.It's truly an uplifting bookRead Chocolate lovers Club first though! Also briliiant!!

I have recently discovered Carole Matthews as an author and i love her books - this one was supposed to be a casual read but i ended up reading it in one sitting - really enjoyed the story and went straight and order the follow up book which was also good. For a light hearted read and a nice fuzzy feel i would recommend this.

The chocolate lovers books are fantastic! Be sure to read all 4 in order to get the most out of them. Lighthearted, funny, romantic, and a real page turner..... I whole heartedly recommend. Great for Sophie Kinsella fans.
