Rounding up from 3.5 stars because it was cute. It wasn’t perfect, but it was cute and I actually enjoyed reading it. And I actually really like Amalia— I’m tired of perfect, boring, basic MCs.

Cute banter and so so Jewish. Enemies to lovers isn’t my favorite trope (sorry?) but I loved how these two characters took pride in who they were, even their flaws. I just freaking loved how Jewish this was - it takes place during the new year Rosh Hashannah, Yom Kippur and even Sukkot! Yay rep!

I like how the main characters are Jewish and how it is not just a side thing or that it makes up the character as a whole. It offered many educational nuggets about the faith but did not just rehash facts.
This was a very light and fun read. It was kind of slow going but 1/3 into the plot started to speed up.
Good read for anyone who likes Realistic YA Romance with a twist of science.

Picked this up for free at ALA 2019. I don't read a lot of YA, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up liking it a lot. The characters were diverse, the story was cute and interesting, the love story was good.

For fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins, with a dose of science and Judaism thrown in (some of the questions Amelia and Ezra ask their rabbi are pretty funny).

Pretty good fluff. Mostly exciting to have practicing Jewish characters in a book that isn't about the Holocaust!

I was so pleasantly surprised. I randomly stumbled upon this, I don't even remember where, but it was highly addicting and I think it handled various themes quite well. It also had a very good representation of various sexualities and both protagonists are Jewish. A very swoony, fast and entertaining read.
