It's a Whole Spiel: Love, Latkes, and Other Jewish Stories by Katherine Locke, Laura Silverman
4.0
Overall, I found this book to be really wonderful.
It's a collection of short stories, each about a different character, mostly in their teens/early twenties, each of them learning something new about themselves or life in general. I thought it was incredibly representative, both in that there was a major religion featured that wasn't Christianity, and in that many characters were queer, or neurodivergent.
While some stories definitely resonated with me more than others, I really enjoyed reading about characters that have life experiences that differ greatly from my own. I had a good time reading this book and I learned a lot about Jewish culture as well.
