Iām not Jewish, but Rachel Lynn Solomon is, and I really appreciate how she navigates the different charactersā relationships to their own faith and heritage. I loved all the moments of Jewish joy, from the family Shabbat dinner to the bat mitzvah towards the end. As an outsider looking in, it feels like a privilege to experience stories that are fictional and still feel informed by an authors lived experiences.
It definitely was a breath of fresh air to have a fat love interest in a romance! Iām pretty sure this is the first romance Iāve ever read where a man was anything but super jacked & thin. I appreciated Ā the conversation around fat being a neutral descriptive word and calling out people who are āconcerned for their healthā. I would love to see the review / opinion of more fat folks re: how they felt about this representation.Ā
Overall, not a mind-blowing or life-changing novel, but after this second 4-star read from RLS, I now know I can rely on one of her books for a pick-me-up romance & will be a go-to in the future!Ā
