I really enjoyed this Jewish romcom! As a Jewish romance reader, I rarely get a chance to read books with characters going through the same experiences as me. I loved the little Jewish and Yiddish bits throughout that just add to the overall vibe of the book.
There is an overarching plotline of antisemitism, which was unexpected in a romance novel, but I really appreciated the way it was handled — especially given the current climate of antisemitism worldwide.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. Even though it was definitely written with a Jewish audience in mind, I think overall the storyline is relevant for anyone. I look forward to reading other Jewish rom-coms by this author!
