After being severely disappointed in a different Hanukkah romance, I found this book recommended in the reviews as a better option. I'm happy to report that this is much better, even if it's still only just fine. It was cute and fun and had me giddy at times, which is really all I need from a romance. There was also good representation! I liked that there were many Jewish people throughout the book that all had different ways of practicing and different feelings. Rachel's chronic fatigue syndrome also seemed well done, but it's not something I have experience with myself so would defer to other reviewers on that point.
My real problem with this book was just the childishness of the two main characters. They both acted so immaturely both toward each other and in general. It was hard to root for them when they were so incapable of communicating or treating each other like adults. The book improve a lot in the second half.
