I'm reading this slowly over the course of a year, reading each chapter as the holiday approaches. Which means now that I've picked this up every few days in the past month and have finished the Simchat Torah chapter, I won't be reading any more for almost two months. Definitely underlines just how many holidays there are in Tishrei.

Some chapters of this are making me realize how little I really know about global Jewish history.

Planning on reading one chapter a day over the next couple of weeks to give myself some space with this one.

This is SO good, and I love seeing disability in romance 🥺

I already want to drop everything and go to Santorini.

Me, getting my hopes up for a Nutcracker retelling, even though the last one I read was such a disappointment? More likely than you think.

I'm not really loving this, but I want to know how it ends.

The cover of this book says "Warning: chronic pain may cause irritability, sarcasm, and bouts of profanity" and I just have to say...big mood

I have such mixed feelings about this - I love so many aspects of it, but Halle is just being so awful to Nash that I don't know whether I'm going to be able to root for their romance. And I get that she's scared about him finding out who she is, but does she really think she's making the eventual reveal any better?

I have no idea what's going on, and I can't tell whether I'm supposed to.

I have no idea what's going on, but I'm here for it!

I just remembered what happens next and I'm not ready.

I think I just figured out what the inevitable last bit of conflict is going to be and I can't say I'm thrilled about it 😕
