Marry Me by Midnight by Felicia Grossman
4.0

I received this title as an ARC on Net-galley in exchange for a honest review. Thank you to Forever Publishing for the copy!

The Good
I've never read a historical romance with jewish main characters so I was so excited to read this! There were a lot of great and interesting conversations about grief, legacy, community, hierarchy, power, and respectability in this book. This book's couple Aaron and Isabelle were a great example of the grumpy x sunshine trope. Isabelle is a rich girl who is confident and hilarious while Aaron is a bit of a grump because of his circumstances but is actually a sweet and kind man. I also liked their banter and how they bounced off of each other. Their chemistry was amazing! I also liked how the major conflicts were handled and it had just the right amount of angst.
