Love this!!!

“Love Requires Chocolate” is a great story with lovable characters and this audiobook was such great narration!!!

Love, Love, Love!!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and even purchased it in paperback. I felt I could relate to Whitney, especially during my college years. I’ve never been to Paris but after listening to this book and trying to visually imagine all the sights, sounds, shopping, and foods Whitney took in, I need to add Paris to my list of places to go. Thank you Ravynn for this wonderful coming of age story that is centered around learning to love, trust, respect, and understand not just yourself but people, places, and things around you. Essentially shaping her growth and development as a person.

LOVED IT- so wholesome

I loved every part of this book, I loved how there was actual French in here. The speakers French accent was soo satisfying. I love how it was a cute love story with romance and no spice scenes. Perfect balance. I’d read this again and again. I’d also buy the physical copy🫶🏾

Hmmmm

Doesn’t sound like the voice of the author. The voice of this person sounds whinny and distracting.
