Love comes home for the challah-days in this sparkling romance. Love comes home for the challah-days in this sparkling romance. Snow is falling, holiday lights are twinkling, and Abby Cohen is pissed. For one thing, her most annoying customer, Seth, has been coming into her cafe every morning with his sunshiny attitude, determined to break down her carefully constructed emotional walls. And, as the only Jew on the tourism board of her Vermont town, Abby's been charged with planningtheir fledgling Hanukkah festival. Unfortunately, the local vendors don't understand that the story of Hanukkah cannot be told with light-up plastic figures from the Nativity scene, even if the Three Wise Men wear yarmulkes. Desperate for support, Abby puts out a call for help online and discovers she was wrong about being the only Jew within a hundred miles. There's one other- Seth. As it turns out, Seth's parents have been badgering him to bring a Nice Jewish Girlfriend home to New York City for Hanukkah, and if Abby can survive his incessant, irritatinglyhandsome smiles, he'll introduce her to all the vendors she needs to make the festival a success. But over latkes, doughnuts, and winter adventures in Manhattan, Abby begins to realize that her fake boyfriend and his family might just be igniting a flame in her own guarded heart.

Reviews

"Love You a Latke is the Hallmark Hanukkah movie I've been waiting for all my life. Seth's and Abby's lovely story of fakedating andmeddling parents, smalltown Hanukkah festivals and finding friendship in unexpected places, is a cozy delight, and as sweet and inviting as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night. I loved every word!"Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate Is a Vampire

One of my favorite reads of 2024, Love You A Latke by Amanda Elliot is Hanukkah romance at its very best.Jean Meltzer, international bestselling author of The Matzah Ball

"Love You a Latke is a beautiful story with an unexpected slow burn romance and amazing supporting characters. But it's also a story about community the community you're embraced by, the community you make and the magical miracle of Hanukkah."Stacey Agdern, award-winning author of The B'Nai Mitzvah Mistake
