The Matzah Ball is a cute rom-com. Rachel Rubenstein Goldblatt has two secrets. One is that she suffers from a illness that makes it impossible for her to live a "normal" life and the second is she writes Christmas romance novels. Her writing is a secret because she is the daughter of a famous Rabbi.
Writing Christmas romance novels is what makes it possible for Rachel to work around her illness and live a comfortable life but this could all change when her publisher tells her she needs to write a Hanukah Romance novel rather than a Christmas one in order to keep her on as an author.
Rachel is less than thrilled with this prospect. She loves the romance of Christmas and doesn't find anything romantic about Hanukah but things are about to change. Rachel discovers there is going to be a Matzah Ball and she wants a ticket to the event to help her write her novel. This proves to be a bit more difficult especially when she finds out Jacob Greenberg her archenemy is the host. She strikes a deal with Jacob and hilarity ensues. Along the way Jacob and Rachel get to know one another as adults and discover that their past is riddled with misunderstandings.
The Matzah Ball is an excellent read. It make me laugh, sigh and cheer for the characters.
