Love You a Latke by Amanda ElliotMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reading a holiday book in the middle of summer is always a bit of an interesting experience but I fell head over heels for Love You a Latke. Abby is a bit of a grumpy cafe owner who gets roped into creating a Hannukah Market for her small Vermont town as the token Jewish business owner. In her quest to find community, she discovers that one of her customers, who annoys her relentlessly is the only other Jew in her town. He agrees to help her if she agrees to pretend to be his girlfriend and go home with him for Hanukkah.
This book beautifully captures the secular Jewish experience. I related to Abby and her love of the Jewish community while simultaneously feeling disconnected from it. This book was so wonderfully Jewish and not a romance that had some sprinkled in Jewish elements. This story is a clean romance without spice, but I didn't miss it, because the characters and story development definitely filled my cup.
I received an ARC from Netgalley and voluntarily give my honest review.
