My review

When you need to clear your mind, go to a place famous for its chocolate!

When her relationship ends in a terrible way, food technician Mina needs some time to sort out her life.
So she packs her bags, and decides to pay a visit to her godmother Amelie in Switzerland. In an idyllic snowy setting, surrounded by tasty chocolate and  delicious cakes, Mina can decide what her future will look like, but keeping any romance at distance.
At least, that is her intention, until she meets a stranger looking too good to be true!

Put chocolate and cakes and so much more sweet food in a story, and you know you have found the perfect recipe to make me like a book!
Add some romance and an amazing setting, and I’m totally hooked!
And this story made me totally forget my surroundings!

Initially, Mina is someone I pitied. The way her relationship ends is one of the most terrible ways…
So I totally understood why she needed to get away for a while, to clear her head and have space to decide where she wants to go with her life.
I admired her for her decision too, because if I were in the same situation, you would find me sulking with a lot of junk food on the couch.
Her passion for chocolate is something I totally understand, even if I am more an expert in just the eating department and not in the creating new recipes.
I was happy for her when she finally understood what her passion truly was and what she could accomplish by just going for it. It’s not an easy decision to make, but then again, why not?

And the chalet Amelie runs, it just how I imagined a Swiss chalet would be like. But the way Amelie runs it, it seemed like a she was a kind of fairy godmother! She truly cares about her customers, and even helps them out!
The way she opens her heart and her place to Mina is just a small indication of how amazing she is.

Let’s not forget about this mysterious stranger… I’m not going to spill my beans over him, because I want you to discover him all by yourself. I just want to add this: if you don’t fall in love with him, I don’t know what you need more from a man! 😀

This story is sweet, funny, a perfect way to escape your own life and dream away over Swiss mountains, lovely people trying to find their true dreams. And even for people like me who don’t like skiing or snowboarding or just any activity in the snow (for me snow means to curl with a blanket, hot chocolate and reading a good book like this one!) it felt like I was standing right there next to our protagonists.

I loved every bit of reading this, even if ‘devouring’ would more accurate! 😄
And just one tiny correction for the author: nothing beats Belgian chocolate!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
