You cannot read a page in this book without running into a decadent sweet of some sort. Amy makes me feel like a failure as a woman. If it regards chocolate, Paris, or romantic notions, she's your gal. Though interesting, and if you look deep enough you can find some valuable thought material, I had a really difficult time with this book. It took me chapters and chapters to get my mind past the pretzel-crusted caramels. I couldn't pay any attention to what was actually going on in Amy's life because my mind kept getting stuck on the delicious delicacies that are so intricately described.

I strongly suggest this book for you chocoholics out there. You cannot read this book without your mouth watering. As for France, I can take it or leave it. Also, there are fascinating factoids at the end of each chapter. For me, these were the best part of the book.
