Reviews
"Another good-vibes-inducing book by Jenny Colgan, and one that I'm really, really glad I read. " -- My Book Musings, "Alternating between Anna's current adventure in Paris and Claire's adventure while in high school, you are treated to a whirlwind insider's look at Paris. You can taste the gourmet chocolate, feel the warm sun on your face, and enjoy the beautiful streets through the pages of this novel." -- BrodartVibe, "Heartwarming and funny... Delightful and compassionate, this will resonate with readers of women's fiction. Chocolate recipes from the author, listed in the back of the book, add to its charm." -- Booklist, "Lighthearted fun with a touch of romance, set mostly in Paris and with frequent references (and recipes) with chocolate: it is hard to go wrong! " -- I Am, Indeed, " The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris will have you laughing one moment and crying the next... will entertain you at every turn. 4 Stars" -- RT Book Reviews, "I kept telling myself it was only an average, simple-fare sort of book right up until the end, when I realized I had tears in my eyes and I hadn't stopped reading for the past five hours. I don't know how or when it happened, but The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris sucked me right in. Now I'm left to deal with the excess emotion, craving for chocolate, and burning desire to visit the other side of the Atlantic which this book left in its wake." -- All About Romance, "Colgan has created a story where love and baked goods are central to the story and sweet endings are a must. Her characters are both believable and funny, while the Parisian setting makes this story practically irresistible. " -- Shelf Awareness Reader, "Paris and chocolate. The combination of those two things make for a pretty tasty tale." -- Love Happy Daily, "A great romance and coming of age story that involves chocolate. What more can you ask for?" -- Laura's Reviews, "A tale of two Englishwomen in Paris, of love lost and found, of reaching for the best instead of settling for what you can get, of acceptance and making peace with the past... Gently and lovingly done." -- Dear Author, "You can't go wrong with Jenny Colgan books. She's the queen of British chick lit. " -- American Cupcake Life, "The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris fills up the reader with emotion, then empties her, just to fill her again with a warm, spreading sense of joy, akin to eating the best chocolate. " -- Random Book Muses, "At times funny, sweet, and poignant, I was a sobbing wreck by the end of the book... Definitely a must-read for a wonderful love story, and if you're a fan of chocolate AND Paris!" -- Romancing the Book, "This Book Was a Beautiful, Emotional Journey That Thoroughly Entertains." -- Bitten by Love Reviews, "Jenny Colgan did it again. When I read her books, my mouth is literary watering. All those cakes and cookies and chocolates. And Paris, the most romantic city in the world. What's not to love there?" -- Chick Lit Library Cat, "This book is more than just your light-hearted, escape chick-lit book... This book has its fun but it also has its seriousness... " -- Curled Up with a Good Book and a Cup of Tea, "The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris is for those who enjoy women's fiction as well as a trip to Paris while curled up in your chair relaxing with a cup of coffee and some chocolate of course! Oh, and let's not forget all the fantastic recipes included in the book for all us foodie fanatics!" -- Peeking Between the Pages, "Colgan has created a story where love and baked goods are central to the story and sweet endings are a must. Her characters are both believable and funny, while the Parisian setting makes this story practically irresistible. " - Shelf Awareness Reader, "Parallel love stories play out in Paris a generation apart in this funny, lyrical story from U.K.-based chick-lit writer Colgan... This cross-generational story is as irresistible as Colgan's portrayal of Paris itself--and all things chocolate. " -- Publishers Weekly
