Attenzione! Contiene la magia del Natale. Una famiglia imperfetta alla ricerca di un Natale imperfetto. Juliet ama il Natale: l’albero, le decorazioni, i regali e il pranzo creano un’atmosfera di amore e serenità. Quest’anno, però, le cose sembrano diverse. I figli le danno problemi: Tom è disoccupato e le presenta partner improbabili, mentre Chloe è tornata a casa con il suo bambino e, sorprendentemente, è di nuovo incinta. Anche i genitori non sono da meno: il padre è in una fase di depressione acuta e la madre diventa sempre più eccentrica. E non si può dimenticare Rick, il marito, che sembra aver esaurito la pazienza. Riuscirà Juliet a riprendere in mano la situazione e a salvare il Natale? Una commedia romantica che esplora l’amore e la famiglia. Carole Matthews, autrice bestseller, ha conquistato lettori in tutto il mondo con il suo umorismo e le sue storie toccanti. I suoi romanzi, tra cui "Il sexy club del cioccolato" e "Per un’ora d’amore", sono stati ben accolti e alcuni sono destinati a diventare film. Quando non scrive, ama fare trekking o semplicemente rilassarsi nel suo giardino a Milton Keynes.

Tornano le eroine del Sexy club del cioccolato, Lucy, Autumn, Nadia e Chantal, ancora una volta alle prese con situazioni sentimentali ingarbugliate, uomini difficili da gestire e un'unica consolazione: la loro amicizia cementata da dosi massicce di cioccolato! Lucy Lombard, ad esempio, credeva davvero di andare a grandi passi verso il "vissero per sempre felici e contenti", ma ha dovuto ricredersi quando ha scoperto il grande amore della sua vita a letto con un'altra... E naturalmente non è l'unica ad avere problemi: Autumn deve presentare il suo nuovo fidanzato ai genitori, Nadia non riesce più a fidarsi di suo marito quando lui le dice che con il gioco d'azzardo ha chiuso e Chantal sta cercando disperatamente di salvare il proprio matrimonio... Per affrontare le sfide che la vita ha in serbo per loro, le quattro amiche avranno bisogno di tanto coraggio, di tutta la forza del loro legame e, naturalmente, della loro arma segreta, perché si sa, quando il gioco si fa duro, i duri mangiano cioccolato!

Quando problemi sentimentali chiamano, il cioccolato risponde. Questo è il segreto di un quartetto di amiche londinesi - assillate da uomini di volta in volta goffi, impotenti, viziosi e irascibili - che, come antidoto alle delusioni amorose, si riunisce nella migliore pasticceria della città per mangiare cioccolatini prelibati e trovare insieme le soluzioni alle più disparate questioni di cuore. Nasce così "Il sexy club del cioccolato": una società segreta che si riunisce quando qualcuna delle sue aderenti invia alle altre un SMS con su scritto "emergenza cioccolato" e in cui l'unico uomo ammesso è lo splendido pasticcere omosessuale.
