The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah
The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah: A Novel | Jean Meltzer
1 post
Can these exes rekindle their love this Hanukkah? Evelyn Schwartz has the perfect Hanukkah planned: eight jam-packed days producing the live-action televised musical of A Christmas Carol. Who needs family when you've got long hours, impossible deadlines, and your dream job? That is, until an accident on set lands her in the medical bay with one of her chronic migraines, and she's shocked to find her ex-husband, David Adler, filling in for the usual studio doctor. It's been two years since David walked away from Evelyn and their life in Manhattan, and his ex-wife is still the same workaholic who puts her career before everything else--especially her health. But when Evelyn begins hallucinating "ghosts" tied to her past heartbreaks, and every single one leads to David, he finds himself spending much more time with her than he anticipated. And denying the still-smoldering chemistry between them becomes impossible. As Evelyn revisits her ghosts of Hanukkah past, she and David both begin to wonder if they can have a Hanukkah future. But with a high-stakes production ramping up the pressure on Evelyn, and troublesome spirits forcing them both to confront their most difficult shared memories, it might just take a Hanukkah miracle for these two exes to light the flame on their second-chance at love.

The plot is funny and touching, with some really emotional moments mixed in. I loved the idea of using the eight nights of Hanukkah as a way for Evelyn to reflect on her past heartbreaks, especially since they all connect back to her ex-husband, David. Speaking of David—he‘s an absolute sweetheart! A kind, supportive doctor who clearly still cares about Evelyn, even after everything they‘ve been through.
