This book started off as the Jewish version of a classic christmas rom com but ended up being something slightly more serious and complex. It's still a perfectly enjoyable and lighthearted book most of the way through, just be ready for the discussion of sexual assault in the last third of the story. Overall, a good romance that I would definitely recommend, with charming characters and a cute little dog!
