Publisher's summary

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…

"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

Excellent!

I loved this book! I really enjoyed Chris and Dara's story. They were nice people, and I wish they were my friends. I loved Lacey, Chris's daughter, and Dara's bubbe, Miriam. This author writes the best bubbes. I enjoyed learning some things about Judaism that I didn't know.
I can't wait to read the next book from Jean Meltzer!

Heartwarming

Such a cute story that, as a hopeless romantic, had me feeling all the feels. I particularly loved the MC’s devotion to her faith. It was inspiring!
Loved how the characters complemented each other and made both compromises and sacrifices for each other. Great read!

4.5 stars!

Really wish I could give 4.5 stars! I loved the narrator and the story was super cute, I wish there would have been an epilogue though.
How did it turn out for them? Did they get married? Did they have children?

LOVED this book

Another wonderful, heartwarming and beautifully written story by Jean Meltzer. The narrator was good, my only complaint is that she bungled some of the Hebrew/Yiddish pronunciation but still gets 4 stars from me.

Enjoyable

I read this right after reading The Matzah Ball, which is this Jean Meltzer’s first novel. Although I did think this was enjoyable, I do not think it is as good as The Matzah Ball, which I totally fell in love with.
