LOVE YOU A LATKE

Amanda Elliot

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 café 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 planning their 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, irritatingly handsome 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. Amanda Elliot lives with her husband and daughter in New York City, where she collects way too many cookbooks for her tiny kitchen, runs in Central Park, and writes for teens and kids under the name Amanda Panitch.

Latkes andjelly donuts (sufganiyot) are a must for this read!

This novel will melt everybody's hearts, but Jewish romance readers in particular will be thrilled to see Hanukkah reflected so authentically and lovingly. ... This holiday treat is as wonderfully sweet and gooey as the traditional Hanukkah doughnut.

This is a keeper.

This is a fun rom-com, that gives great insight into Hanukkah, and what the holiday is about. At its core it's about family, friendship and love. Fans of this kind of holiday love story are in for a treat. And you'll be hungry for Latkes by the time you finish the book.

One of my favorite reads of 2024, Love You A Latke by Amanda Elliot is Hanukkah romance at its very best.

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.

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 fake dating and meddling parents, small town 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!
