Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is hiding a secret, she absolutely loves Christmas. She’s hidden it from her Jewish community and has even built a career as a Christmas romance novelist. However despite the love she writes about her chronic illness has kept her from trying to get it. But when her publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance Rachel decides the best way to find her muse is to go to the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah. Too bad for her its being run buy her childhood first love and summer camp archenemy- Jacob Greenburg, the boy who tormented her and broke her heart. Jacob is a famous party planner, he’s rich, handsome, and has a lot of abandonment issues. On one hand he’s excited to see the girl who broke his heart again on the other he’s afraid to find out why she stood him up at the summer camp dance and ghosted him. Rachel needs a ticket to the ball and Jacob will only give her one if she does volunteer work for it, which means they’re going to be spending a lot of time together. While Jacob tries to win back the girl he’s in love with, Rachel can’t wait to get away from the boy who’s tormented her. Two people, one big misunderstanding, and secrets that could threaten to break up this new relationship. There were some major issues with the book.. such as comparing coming out to your family being as serious as admitting you like Christmas... seriously?? and then there was the joking about being an assassin for the IOF/Mossad is not funny, when the people she "killed" were most likely Palestinians... and then if we are talking about the romance in general, I just didn’t feel it working between these two people, and seriously Jacob??? You’re going to get mad at her over her book, after essentially hounding her, humiliating her, and then not even giving her time to explain? Overall, this one didn’t work for me.
