Resumen del Editor

It's true that Anna Trent is a supervisor in a chocolate factory...but that doesn't necessarily mean she knows how to make chocolate. And when a fateful accident gives her the opportunity to work at Paris's elite chocolatier Le Chapeau Chocolat, Anna expects to be outed as a fraud.

After all, there is a world of difference between chalky, mass-produced English chocolate and the gourmet confections Anna's new boss creates. But with a bit of luck and a lot of patience, Anna might learn that the sweetest things in life are always worth working for.

Hopeful, laugh-out-loud funny, and irresistibly addictive, The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris is a novel worth savoring.

Chocolate and Paris❤️

This was the the best book for me right now during the pandemic. Sweet and lovely, surprising depth. Took me back to Paris.

entertaining

Delightful!

Wonderfully rich characters! Beautifully woven story! Breathtaking descriptions of Paris! Superb narration! Delightful in every way!

Enjoyable listen

Interesting story combining one woman’s past with another woman’s present. It was also interesting to learn a little more about the world of chocolate making. I enjoyed listening to Anna become herself.

Slow in spots, but have Kleenex on hand

Wow. I loved and hated this book. So much sadness and not seeing joy in front of you until too late. Very sad but the characters were fun and storyline was beautiful.

Easy and satisfying

Sometime you need an easy and inspirational read. This is it. It makes you giggle, laugh out loud, and reflect. It gives the energy that is required to move beyond those basic thoughts and affect

Blossom in Paris

First of all I felt the narrator was the perfect voice for the main character. she was light-hearted and delightful. I enjoyed all the characters, the descriptions of the food and the experience of the young ladies finding love in Paris. The two storylines were nice mirrors. I listen to a lot of cozy mysteries and this was just a really happy novel overall.

Loved this story

Great characters, wonderful descriptions of Paris. Great story that will stay with me a while!

Paris sounds lovely but

The people (except the flatmate who is not Parisian) were not nice. The author was super hung up on fat people (pretty much anyone who's not a chic French person or any woman with a bosom) all the way through the book. It was jarring at times. The formulaic surprise relationship was just not important. I agree with another reviewer who said the second half felt really rushed.

Full disclosure - I am fat and it was easy to imagine that the book is accurate and people in France will hate me and that's important to the story. It made me imagine visiting France knowing everyone will be disgusted by me but I stuck with the book because maybe it was important to the story. I tried to imagine that calling someone a walrus while they're lying in a hospital bed was important to the story. I tried to not be defensive but it was really did seem unnecessary. I won't read more by this author.
