Leah and Samuel's story was so freaking cute! I loved that it was second chance romance as well as fake dating because it was done so well. The idea of a dating contract was great and I liked that they were set to go to several things together even though we know the feelings were there from the beginning. Of course, I have to talk about the Jewish representation! It's always so nice that all the characters (I believe) in Stacey's books are Jewish. I can feel the familial aspects, love the Hebrew mixed in, and feel like I'm in the community when I read these stories. I also liked the romance a lot. Leah and Samuel were such a great match, however I would have loved more of them! Their development at the end felt slightly rushed and it was mainly because I wanted to see them together for real. Overall, this was a cute and enjoyable book! Thank you to Stacey for providing me with an e-ARC to read and review!
