"A warm, heartfelt ode to self-acceptance, honesty, and tight-knit Jewish communities…a true pleasure to read."—Olivia Dade, author of Spoiler Alert, on The Matzah Ball
From the author of The Matzah Ball comes a pitch-perfect romcom following a third-generation Jewish matchmaker who unwittingly finds her own search for love thrust into the spotlight...
The perfect Jewish husband should be:
A doctor or lawyer (preferably a doctor)
Baggage-free (no previous marriages, no children)
And of course—he must be Jewish
As the creator and CEO of the popular Jewish dating app J-Mate, matchmaker Dara Rabinowitz knows the formula for lasting love—at least, for everyone else. When it comes to her own love life, she’s been idling indefinitely. Until her beloved bubbe shares Dara’s checklist for “The Perfect Jewish Husband” on national television and charming news anchor Chris Steadfast proposes they turn Dara’s search into must-see TV.
As a non-Jewish single dad, Chris doesn’t check any of Dara’s boxes. But her hunt for Mr. Perfect is the ratings boost his show desperately needs. If only Chris could ignore his own pesky attraction to Dara—a task much easier said than done when Dara starts questioning if “perfect on paper” can compete with how hard she’s falling for Chris…

Dara is the CEO of J-mate, a popular dating app for the Jewish community responsible for matching over 10,000 couples. When it comes to her love life, Dara has a list of what would make her the perfect partner, doctors or lawyers, no baggage, and of course, he must be Jewish. After a nation tv segment where her bubbe shares this checklist and the charming, windowed new anchor Christ proposal, they turn the search into a must-see tv to save his ratings.

With short chapters that you will speed through and an adorable romance, lovers of Act Your Age, Eve Brown, and You Had me at Hola will devour this perfect novel.
