Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern
I was super excited for this book when I saw it on a holiday romance list. A whole festival about Hanukkah set in a cozy small town outside NYC? Yes please! It certainly delivered on the Hanukkah spirit, and wow am I craving latkes and soofi lattes - but it was severely lacking in the romance department.
It felt very 0 to 60, where the characters danced around each other but without even an internal dialogue of romantic feelings. The first "date" didn't happen until the last third of the book, and declarations were made at the very end without much build-up or discussion between the two mains. Overall the romance portion of the story felt entirely lacking and took a significant back seat to the conflict around the festival.
