Love You a Latke

“Love You a Latke is the Hallmark Hanukkah movie I’ve been waiting for all my life. Seth’s and Abby’s lovely story of fake dating and meddling parents, small town Hanukkah festivals and finding friendship in unexpected places, is a cozy delight, and as sweet and inviting as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night. I loved every word!”—Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate Is a Vampire

“Amanda Elliot’s Love You a Latke is a perfect book to cozy up with this holiday season.
