Abby gets volun-told to organize a Hanukkah festival to compete with area Christmas festivals but needs help. When she finds out the only other Jewish person nearby is her annoyingly sunny customer Seth, she begrudgingly asks for his help. He agrees in exchange for her pretending to be his girlfriend so his mom stops worrying. They spend Hanukkah with his parents in NYC so Abby can hunt for festival vendors & grow to understand each other better.

I had a great December reading month, buoyed by days off at the end if the month. I finished 22 books A couple were short stories & the cumulation of a year-long daily read but I also had one chunkster of an audiobook.

Astra is on her annual girls trip to the Milwaukee Christmas Market where she meets Jack who works at his family bakery. What she doesn‘t know, she‘s met Jack multiple times before, but the magic of the Christmas Market makes her forget each time… until this year when everything is different.
Overall it was a cute story but the characters tended to over-complicate things and the over-explaining of simple or unnecessary details drove me nuts.
