This was a charming YA holiday romance that takes place over Hanukkah on Nantucket Island. I REALLY enjoyed The summer of lost letters by this same author and there are some cameos from the MCs in that book found here. In this story we get to know 16 year old Shira as she gets stranded with her childhood crush, Tyler, at her family estate on the island for a few days. Tyler is a consumate flirt and Shira enlists his help to teach her how to flirt with her new crush Isaac. Lots of forced proximity, awkward teen moments and sweet gestures with a bit of a historical mystery thrown in (which I enjoyed a lot and was similar to the style of the author's last book). Recommended for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and great on audio. Much thanks to @prhaudio for a complimentary audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

This book was very cute! I liked the main characters Shira and Tyler. Shira’s family/extended family reminded me a lot of family dynamic in 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston. I also liked how there was a little bit of history woven into the story. 

It did take me a little bit to get into the story and personally I think it dragged a bit in the middle. I also didn’t know when I started reading this that it was the 2nd book in a series. I don’t think you need to read the first book but it would have helped a little with the back story. But overall it was a cute read! 

Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for the digital copy!

Great way to start my holiday reading binge. A sweet enemies to lovers trope story, incorporating not only Hanukah traditions but some Nantucket history too. Shira wants to learn how to flirt and picks the wrong boy to help. Tyler, the one who broke her heart years ago. Only to discover there’s more than meets the eye with this bad boy. I loved the family dynamics, the big family, all coming together for the holidays. Definitely one to add to my library’s collection!
