****Susanah, a 30-ish single gal, is forced to re-arrange her life's plan when the company she works for goes belly up. A new home (which needs a lot of work), a new business, and a new singles ward keeps her very busy as she tries to sort it all out.
*Warning: If you are contemplating going on a diet, you may want to hold off on this one for a while - all the talk of delectable food could be distracting! Ha ha!
I read a few harsh reviews of this before I picked it up, so I was a little hesitant, but personally, I thought it was delightfu.
It did drag a little for me at first, but it picked up a few chapters in.
I would consider it a "light" read, but it definitely has it's moments - (the description of the over thirties singles ward had me laughing out loud!)...and I love the idea of the "Chocolate Bar"!
The author has a fresh writing style, and an interesting sense of humor.
The situations the heroine encounters are quite unique (and some are just darn funny,) - not your usual stereo-typical scenarios (like the home demolition projects, and the 187 year old tortoise...)
It does end a bit predictably, but happily - so who cares, right?
(OK, maybe it was a little convenient that both "husband" choices were not only hunky, but rich, rich, rich)
A fun read, and I may just throw caution to the wind and try some of the yummy recipes too!

Fun review. Makes me want to read it.
I liked this book too and I'd give it more than three and a half stars. It's quirky and fun.
LOL! OK, shall we bump it up to a 4 then? That's easier anyway - have you ever tried to type half an asterisk?
I really enjoyed this book. And yes, the descriptions of all that chocolate had me craving oreos, eclairs, and hot fudge sundaes! But it was a really fun read.
