A Sydney Taylor Honor Book

A sixteen-year-old girl is on a mission to find the perfect boyfriend this Hanukkah, but love might not go according to plan, in this charming winter romcom from the author of The Summer of Lost Letters.

Shira Barbanel has a plan: this Hanukkah, she’s going to get a boyfriend. And she has the perfect candidate in mind—her great-uncle’s assistant, Isaac. He’s reliable, brilliant, and of course, super hot. The only problem? Shira’s an absolute disaster when it comes to flirting.

Enter Tyler Nelson, Shira’s nemesis-slash-former-crush. As much as she hates to admit it, Tyler is the most charming and popular guy she knows. Which means he’s the perfect person to teach her how to win Isaac over.

When Shira and Tyler get snowed in together at Golden Doors, they strike a deal—flirting lessons for Shira in exchange for career connections for Tyler. But as Shira starts to see the sweet, funny boy beneath Tyler’s playboy exterior, she realizes she actually likes hanging out with him. And that wasn’t part of the plan.

Amidst a whirl of snowy adventures, hot chocolate, and candlelight, Shira must learn to trust her heart to discover if the romance she planned is really the one that will make her happiest. Contemporary Contemporary Romance Family & Relationships Literature & Fiction Romance Fiction Funny Heartfelt

I picked this up based on a review by a bookstagrammer and was not disappointed! it is a really lovely story, that pulls you in from the start.

As someone who always found the idea of romance and dating and relationships rather baffling, I thoroughly enjoyed Shira's struggle to figure it all out.

And Tyler was the perfect counterpoint - seemingly confident in everything, but with his own insecurities.

The dynamic between the two of them was fun, and you knew they were going to end up together, if only they would actually communicate how they were feeling about each other!

Setting it within an extended family, and with the celebration of both Hanukkah in Shirakawa family and Christmas with Tyler's family just rounded it all out beautifully.

Very much recommended as a cosy read during the Winter months. And the narration is perfect.

Sweet rom-com set at Hanukkah
