AUDIO BOOK REVIEW: Love You A Latke by Amanda Elliot


REVIEW: 

This was an adorable fake dating, grumpy/sunshine romance. Abby runs a cafe in New England and Seth is her unshakably upbeat customer. Desperate for help putting together a Hanukkah Festival she turns to a Jewish dating app. However the only Jew for miles around seems to be Seth. They strike a bargain but in the process Abby starts to break down her walls. 

This is a book about healing, finding a community, and making each other better people. I loved how Jewish this book was, with prayers and stories about Hanukkah and standing by your values in creating a festival that truly celebrates Hanukkah not just a Christmas Festival disguised as a Hanukkah Festival. This was a refreshing read on the holiday themed books out there.

SYNOPSIS:
 
Snow is falling, holiday lights are twinkling, and Abby Cohen is pissed. For one thing, her most annoying customer, Seth, has been coming into her café every morning with his sunshiny attitude, determined to break down her carefully constructed emotional walls. And, as the only Jew on the tourism board of her Vermont town, Abby's been charged with planning their fledgling Hanukkah festival. Unfortunately, the local vendors don’t understand that the story of Hanukkah cannot be told with light-up plastic figures from the Nativity scene, even if the Three Wise Men wear yarmulkes.

Desperate for support, Abby puts out a call for help online and discovers she was wrong about being the only Jew within a hundred miles. There's one other: Seth.

As it turns out, Seth’s parents have been badgering him to bring a Nice Jewish Girlfriend home to New York City for Hanukkah, and if Abby can survive his incessant, irritatingly handsome smiles, he’ll introduce her to all the vendors she needs to make the festival a success. But over latkes, doughnuts, and winter adventures in Manhattan, Abby begins to realize that her fake boyfriend and his family might just be igniting a flame in her own guarded heart.
