'I didn't mean to, honest to goodness I didn't. It just happened.'

Amber Salpone doesn't mean to keep ending up in bed with her friend Greg Walterson, but she can't help herself. And after every time it 'just happens' their secret affair moves closer to being a real relationship, which is big problem when he's a womaniser and she's a commitment-phobe.

While Amber struggles to accept her new feelings for Greg, she also realises that her closeness to Jen, her best friend, is slipping away and the tow of them are becoming virtual strangers. Slowly but surely, as the stark truths of all their lives are revealed, Amber has to confront the fact that chocolate can't cure everything and sometimes running away isn't an option...

Really good book which doesn't follow the same formula as most chick lit books and is all the better for it. Also quite realistic and down to earth - who hasn't done a chocolate run? I will definitely be on the look out for more Dorothy Koomson books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comparatively weak book of a great author

Dorothy Koomson is one of my favorite authors, I aim to read all her books. So far have read some 6. Beautiful, intelligent language, sentences you will love to highlight, suspense, intrigue. But, regretfully, this book is one of her weakest. Somehow too many complexes for a beautiful, successful and much loved woman. Forgave the somewhat stretched middle of the book for the fairy-tale ending.

Compared to other books, The chocolate run isn't bad. Compared to other books by Dorothy Koomson, it just doesn't stand a chance.

Having read all but one of her books (Marshmallows for breakfast), this one is my least favorite. It has been a while since I read it and it's not very memorable. If I'd read this one first I don't think I would have been so disappointed but unfortunately I did n't start with this one.

As usual another wonderful book by Dorothy Koomson. This one different from the others. I really cared about the main character and what happened to her and her family. A real page turner which I didn't want to end.

Found this a good book overall, had a great depth to the main characters. Once I started reading I wanted to keep going but could not give it 5 stars as it was slightly frustrating and a tad boring in parts

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
Reviewed in Germany on August 20, 2016

I have finished reading "The Chocolate Run" last night and again I must say: Another fantastic, intense novel by Dorothy Koomson! Wow! At the end of the book I was in tears, like it happend when I have read "The Rose Petal Beach".

The book description on Amazon does not do the book justice. At all. According to the description, one could think it is just another lame romance novel. But it's not. It is way more than that. It is about trust, about friendship, about love, about taking risks and chances, about forgiveness, about family, about losses, betrayal.

Dorothy Koomson's narrative is always mesmerizing and gripping. Her books make you stay up and read until the wee hours. Again, lovable characters, great story. Simply fantastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lecture légère mais sympa comme tout
Reviewed in France on July 2, 2012

Comment fait Dorothy Koomson pour créer des personnages aussi attachants ? "The chocolate run" est un roman "de filles" (elle couche avec son meilleur ami, ciel, que faire, et leur amitié va-t-elle y résister ?), et à partir d'une histoire aussi simplette, l'auteur arrive à créer un couple tellement sympathique, tellement attachant, qu'on a vraiment envie de les suivre.
Comme le personnage principal vit à Leeds, on évite les clichés habituels (non, l'héroïne ne vit pas à New York, non, elle n'est pas blonde aux yeux bleus !) C'est bien écrit, et m'a fait plusieurs fois vraiment rire. Un jour gris, ça peut sûrement même remplacer le chocolat.

I enjoyed this book- but it was quite 'light ' for a Dorothy Koomson book. I have come to enjoy her novels with all the twists and turns and wonderful, believable characters and was disappointed that this was more of a chick lit.

However I really enjoyed it and would recommend as a summer read
