Lori read this book and wanted book club members to experience and love it as much as she had. She had a wonderful chocolate fondue with a variety of dippers, and a delicious Texas caviar.
When in high school, the author, Cathy Lamb, wrote for her school newspaper. She went on to become a 4th grade teacher, which she said allowed her time to write at night and during the summer break. After the birth of her twins, she stopped teaching and wrote for a local newspaper. All of her books have an issue that the characters are dealing with. Julia's Chocolates was published in 2007 and was the first novel she sold.
We felt a main theme of the book was acceptance of others and their eccentricities. The characters were quirky but likeable. There was a good balance of drama and humor. Most found the book to be quite entertaining.
Carol W.'s quote of the day. . . " Someone's a lot funnier when you're not living with them!"
The average score was 7.37.
