This book was so beautifully Jewish and cozy! I loved it so much. A Hanukkah romance with enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, and only one bed? SIGN ME UP!! I appreciated the Jewishness of this book and how Abby incorporated it into her identity. There's no right way to be Jewish; I think this story demonstrated that well. I also loved how the myriad of Jewish events, from the pop-ups to the food to the dances and everything in between. This was such a quick read, and I wish I could savor it longer. I loved Seth. He was so incredibly understanding and warm, and I thought he was the perfect contrast for Abby. He was also exactly what she needed at the same time. This was a slow burn, and I appreciated the time it took for the relationship to form. I also appreciate that Abby found more of herself before diving into the love story. I think I needed this book and I couldn't have read it at a better time. Thank you to Berkley for providing me with an ARC to rea and review!
