This book was absolutely adorable! I loved the take on a Hallmark movie with Judaism.  And the chronic illness rep in here was phenomenal! There were maybe one or two scenes that were a little over the top cheesy/dramatic given the story was super low stakes, but it was still wholesome and fun.  Highly recommend!

Honestly pretty disappointed. I love Ruth’s books for the major plot twists. This one fell super flat. Natural thrillers just don’t do it for me. And the “reveal” at the end was honestly pretty predictable and subpar at best. One of my least fave RW books for sure
