Magical Meet Cute

Jean Meltzer

3.52 AVERAGE


I found Magical Meet Cute to be an endearing read with great characters and a fun plot. I’ll admit, I did go into it expecting it to be more of a “magical realism” book and was a tad disappointed that there really wasn’t any magic, but the plot was so charming that I was able to look past it. The author sprinkles more serious moments throughout cutesy scenes and writes about topics that everyone can learn from which is something I appreciate in a book so kudos to her for doing that. And the characters? Absolutely adorable. I also love a cinnamon roll MMC so Greg immediately stole my heart! Cute book. I need to read more from the author’s backlist.

I got halfway through chapter 12 (out of 38). I found the book to be repetitive and not hold my interest.

Couldn’t get into it. Found the beginning lacking a hook to motivate me to keep listening.

Absolutely loved this one so much! It's always fun to read books outside my own religion and culture and this felt like it was beautifully written. Enough knowledge was sprinkled in that it didn't feel like a lecture but instead like I was learning fun little tidbits alongside the story. It felt whole, which was nice. Jean Meltzer wove a tale of love and magic so well, it felt like I'd known these characters forever and not just from page one. 

I know the book revolved around some heavy topics that I'm not so well-versed in but it didn't feel like I was outside the story. I was learning as well as enjoying the tale. I did find the chemistry between some of the characters a bit lacking but it was a thoroughly magical story filled with Jewish folklore, history and so much representation it's wonderful! 

Another excellent read by the always delightful Jean Meltzer
