Magical Meet Cute by Jean Meltzer

2.0

this book is....something. there are a lot of heavy handed messages - american healthcare sucks! antisemitism bad! eat more hard kosher salami! - mixed in with a grab bag of romance tropes - chosen family, amnesia, there's only one bed but thankfully there's also a pullout couch - and enough name drops of brands that made me wonder if this was being sponsored, resulting in the weirdest, most aggressively unique, absolute mess that I both regretted starting but also couldn't put down because I had to know what would happen next. what started fairly cliche very quickly went hard left into the wilderness, only to steer back onto the path at the very end to resolve things in a way I really should have seen coming. which is saying a lot, considering I could have never predicted half of what happened in the middle.
