Narrator Dara Rosenberg gives a magnificent performance of this hilarious and heartwarming rom-com. Host Jo Reed and and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly talk about Jean Meltzer’s romance set during the whirlwind months from the High Holidays all the way to Hanukkah. Dara Rabinowitz, a 30-something developer of a Jewish matchmaking app, appears on a television show hosted by her favorite anchor, Christopher Steadfast. Dara’s matchmaking grandmother, Bubbe Miriam, joins the show and shares Dara’s tongue-in-cheek list of qualities in her perfect Jewish husband-to-be. Dara reluctantly agrees to be filmed on a series of dates, each more disastrous than the next, while she struggles with anxiety — and her growing feelings for Chris. Rosenberg expresses the wit, charm, and sensibility of every character beautifully.
