Parts of this story were really cute and fun and other parts were frustrating and annoying. I liked Jacob and his Bubbie a lot. They were adorable! I really enjoy Christmas romances, so it was fun to get a Hanukkah romance. There were some great winter scenes.
But I didn't like Rachel at all. She kept making the worst choices over and over again. She refused to open up to anyone in her life. She was completely emotionally closed off for 90% of the book, which was very frustrating to read. I wanted to shake her and yell 'just talk to him!!!!!'.

A book with a disabled main character! Who has the same disability as me! So nice to see her struggle through her days and crashes like I do (and I want that executive assistant to help me survive), and that getting a wheelchair was a super great thing to happen to her to enable her to perform a job better while saving her energy for things that matter.
It's also a Jewish story, which I don't have much knowledge about the culture, and gives nice introductions to the important festivities, food, vocabulary, etc.

3.75/5!! I enjoyed this and I was rooting for the characters, but the author is really repetitive.
