I was super excited for this book and I loved it. Penina, the FMC is Orthodox Jewish and I really loved seeing that representation. It was so great to see all the joys she found in her faith and it really translated into the story. I found her to be funny and snarky and I really liked her vibe. Sam was also a great contrast. He was moody and serious, but also so far gone for Penina. This was a really cute romance that dealt with some heavier topics, including infertility and familial expectations, and I loved reading it. I'm glad this was on my radar. The romance was exciting and I was living for the banter. I also liked the side characters because I thought everyone's personality was nicely developed and thought out. Overall, this was a fantastic debut! Thank you to Alcove Press for sending me a copy to read and review!
