The Matzah Ball had me laughing out loud.
an all-around terrific read.
--Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author Oy! to the world Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is a nice Jewish girl with a shameful secret: she loves Christmas.
For a decade she's hidden her career as a Christmas romance novelist from her family.
Her talent has made her a bestseller even as her chronic illness has always kept the kind of love she writes about out of reach.
But when her diversity-conscious publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance, her well of inspiration suddenly runs dry.
Hanukkah's not magical.
It's not merry.
It's not Christmas .
Desperate not to lose her contract, Rachel's determined to find her muse at the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah, even if it means working with her summer camp archenemy--Jacob Greenberg.
Though Rachel and Jacob haven't seen each other since they were kids, their grudge still glows brighter than a menorah.
But as they spend more time together, Rachel finds herself drawn to Hanukkah--and Jacob--in a way she never expected.
Maybe this holiday of lights will be the spark she needed to set her heart ablaze.
A luminous celebration of all types of love, threaded with the message that everyone is worthy of it.
--Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk.
