The Chocolate Run - Dorothy Koomson



The chocolate run is one book that shall definitely appeal to chocolate lovers and chic lit readers  . The usage of chocolate as a metaphor for life and life's characters makes for a funny and highly imaginative read . Further the protagonist's addiction or maybe love for chocolate and her need for chocolate as an instant pacifier makes for a chocolate filled - thought provoking and coming of age novel of love , life and relationships.

Though not one of Koomson's best works , the Chocolate Run makes for a good read on a lazy day . I did not instantly take to this book as I did the rest of her works , but it sure makes a good read if one loves reading.

The story revolves around our choclate lover , Amber , who also runs for good health. She also runs from commitment . She has issues with her parents , which extend to all the relationships she enters . The story deals with her relationship with Jen , her best friend that she adores , Matt ; Jen's boyfriend and Greg. Greg who is playboy personified till his fling with Amber .Amber, a person who prefers chocolate to romance , and has a tough time dealing with life when her best mate wants to become boyfriend . The story makes for a funny and interesting read with the characters evolving with every chapter , Twists and mysteries poking at the perfect intervals . A spicy , quirky chic lit indeed.
