Magical Meet Cute: A Novel

"A laugh-out-loud funny romance with depth and heart, readers will love this spellbinding novel!" --Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Is he the real deal...or did she truly summon a golem?

Faye Kaplan used to be engaged. She also used to have a successful legal practice. But she much prefers her new life as a potter in Woodstock, New York. The only thing missing is the perfect guy.

Not that she needs one. She's definitely happy alone.

That is, until she finds her town papered with anti-Semitic flyers after yet another failed singles event at the synagogue. Desperate for comfort, Faye drunkenly turns to the only thing guaranteed to soothe her--pottery. A golem protector is just what her town needs...and adding all the little details to make him her ideal man can't hurt, right?

When a seriously hot stranger mysteriously turns up the next day, Greg seems too good to be true--if you ignore the fact that Faye hit him with her bike. And that he subsequently lost his memory...

But otherwise, the man checks Every. Single. Box. Causing Faye to wonder if Greg's sudden and spicy appearance might be anything but a coincidence.

DNF at 20%

I’m not sure what it is about this book that’s not clicking for me, but something just isn’t working. The writing is good and the setup of the conflict and romantic action is what drew me to the book in the first place, but something is lost in translation for me. I think it has a lot to do with how the FMC talks to the MMC while he is recovering from amnesia. Granted, I don’t have a full working medical knowledge of how to treat it, but she frequently talks to him like he’s a child and that’s rubbing me the wrong way.

I might try again at some point but for right now, it’s a DNF. I read 2-3 books while trying to slough my way through this book. So that’s a sign that it’s got to go for right now.

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

What I liked: A small town rom-com sprinkled with Jewish folklore. A lot of quirky situations due to the male character’s amnesia. What I disliked: I enjoyed the author’s earlier books a lot more than this one, which seemed slow and repetitive. Also, so much dialogue about hard kosher salami.
