Book Description
It’s time to pack your bags and head to the breathtaking, snow-covered peaks of the Swiss Alps for velvety hot chocolates, delicious cheeses and a gorgeous love story…

So with her bags packed and a new determination to sort her life out, Minna decides to drown her sorrows with the best hot chocolate in the world at her godmother’s cosy Swiss chalet. Chocolate: yes.

My Review
This was such a heart-warming and cosy read that I loved from beginning to end, and did not want to put down.
In this book we meet Mina, who after a disastrous breakup decides she needs a break from her life and the chance to work out what she wants from her life. So she makes a bold decision to go and stay with her Aunt in a beautiful Swiss Chalet in the Alps.
Mina begins to fall in love with Switzerland the minute she disembarks from the train and gets her first chance to smell all of the treats that are on offer, and Mina cannot wait to try them all.
Mina is looking forward to the adventure that lays ahead of her and that begins on the last part of her journey where she bumps into handsome stranger on the train. Bit Mina has sworn off men after the last disaster and is trying to work out just what she does want from life, little does she realise just how much she will gain from her Swiss adventure and what path this will send her on.
This is such a wonderful winter read. Full of all the sights, sounds and flavours that Switzerland has to offer. The setting of the book sounds simply wonderful and is described so well you can almost feel like you are there with Mina. The food in this book sounds so divine and comforting it will really make your mouth water.
I enjoyed getting to know Mina. You get a good idea of why she acts the way she does as you read through the book and it is wonderful to see her grow and develop, you see her make some big life decisions too.
You also get to meet a great group of people who are staying at the Chalet they all play a part in the adventure that Mina has this includes the Handsome stranger from the train and also her aunt Amelie.
This book is the perfect winter read to snuggle up with and escape from real life, whilst also giving the opportunity to visit Switzerland without leaving your own home.
This is another 5 star read from Julie Caplin, and I am already looking forward to see where her next adventure will take us.
