Kissing Kosher combines well developed characters, including engaging secondary characters, and descriptive language that allows the reader to step into the Best Babka in Brooklyn bakery. I could almost taste the delicious treats and smell the challah baking.

Avital was a great character and I love how the theme throughout the book was chronic pain and how you can still have happiness and a love story while living with chronic pain. It reminded me of The Brown Sisters series in that way - beautiful love stories with "imperfect" or chronic issues that often don't get portrayed in media. Although I couldn't relate to these things, I can't imagine how seen someone who does may feel reading this. I know I felt a lot of empathy towards them.
This was a lovely read to round out the year. I might have to go back and read Mr Perfect On Paper next.
