Why is this night different from all other nights?
For starters, Jared Leiman is home for the holidays. Because though he and Caroline Weiss were high school sweethearts, their postcollege lives took them in different directions. Jared became a big-time entertainment lawyer in LA, while Caroline became a fitness instructor and stayed in town to care for her sick mother. And though her mother passed away three years ago, Caroline is finally free to go where she chooses. Meanwhile Jared, who inherited custody of his baby niece after a tragic accident, is suddenly a family man.
So now Caroline wants to leave her hometown in the dust, whereas Jared might just set up roots there. Because there is one thing that Browerville, New Jersey, offers the two of them that no other place does…each other!
About The Author
My Review
“Matzah Ball Blues” follows entertainment lawyer Jared Leiman as he returns home for Passover, grappling with his brother’s death and newfound responsibility as a guardian to his niece. During his visit, he reconnects with his high school sweetheart, Caroline Weiss, reigniting old feelings. As they navigate their rekindled romance, Jared confronts his past mistakes and Caroline embraces newfound freedom. While their love story unfolds amidst Passover traditions, a secondary plot involving potential fraud at Caroline’s workplace adds intrigue. Despite a slower pace and some repetition, author Jennifer Wilck’s excellent representation of Jewish traditions adds depth to the story. Though the romance may feel somewhat lacking in foundation, Wilck’s attention to detail makes “Matzah Ball Blues” engaging for readers interested in Jewish culture and traditions.
