Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliot
368 pages | Published by Berkley Out on 10/8!
The Set Up: Cafe owner Abby has been tasked with planning her small town’s Hanukkah festival, but as the only Jew on the committee, she’s struggling to find local vendors that understand her vision. It turns out her most annoying customer Seth is also Jewish, and he offers to help her, but only if she pretends to be his girlfriend at his parent’s house in NYC for Hanukkah.
Love You a Latke is a cute and wintry romance! It was a quick read and I enjoyed the stories perspective on the holiday season, and how “holiday” seems to default to “Christmas.”
I enjoyed the banter between Abby and Seth, but the pacing of their relationship felt too fast, so the ending felt a bit cheesy and unearned to me, but the author really nailed the grumpy-sunshine element.
The writing style was simple and felt a little too conversational for my personal taste, but the fake dating trop was definitely enjoyable.
Not my favorite, but overall a cozy and festive romance!
Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for the advanced eBook!
