I bought "The Chocolate Run" by Dorothy Koomson spontaneously when I saw a good offer of it at book fair that was held at pusanika. I expected a hilarious story about a woman who loves chocolate and it is exactly what I get from this book.
Amber was from the first pages one a character I enjoyed reading about. I liked the way she handled her life and that throughout the book she was willing to change in the areas of her life that made her unhappy. At the end of the story she was a strong woman who had learned to tell others what she wants without feeling bad about it.
I enjoyed that in the relationship between Greg and her, she was the one who remained sceptical. It felt right that she didn't fell in love with him after their first night and it took some time for her feelings to change from friendship to love. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed reading about Greg, at first I thought that he was nothing than a shallow womaniser but I soon realized that he was a good guy. I enjoyed that they had some up and downs in their relationship and how they dealt with them.
One of my highlights of the book was how Amber compared the people in her life to different types of chocolate. It was so utterly funny and imaginative. She did it in a very charming way and her comparisons were always very fitting.
The relationship between Amber and Jen was very interesting and I loved the way Amber thought about it at the end. I never really liked Jen but I can still understand why Amber wanted to give her a second chance. I also enjoyed reading about the relationship between Amber and her family and how she learned to handle what happened between her parents when she was a child.
This story was an ejoyable to read.
