The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
4.0

Overall this was a cute book. I understand recognize other reviewers issues with it though because there were a few questionable phrases that were used and comparisons. But overall it was entertaining.

The miscommunication aspect got a bit ridiculous after a while and I feel that Mickey would have revealed what he did earlier on in their friendship rather than at the last moment. Because in actuality the miscommunication wasn't even from the main characters it was from outside influences influencing how they saw each other.

And I really feel that the whole hidden Christmas novelist thing was a bit of a stretch. I know a lot of romance readers and I don't think any of them would care that much that someone who wasn't a Christian was writing Christmas. Well I can understand the paranoia being a rabbi's daughter I really really feel that she was too obsessed with that.

Again overall with an enjoyable book I really enjoyed it I thought it was really sweet and that both the characters did a lot of growing throughout the course of the novel which was only 8 days which is pretty awesome to see. I am looking forward to more from this author because I really like her voice in the way she weaves a story.
