A cute Hanukkah romance. It got a little goofy and over the top at the end but it was a decent enough story.
🎧 Dual POV but only one narrator (female)
🌶️ 1/5 There was a vague reference to them having had a good night together but this was totally closed door. Chaste kissing only.
🏳️🌈✊ Both MCs are Jewish, as are most of the side characters. FMC has chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) which affects every part of her life. FMC's best friend is gay.
