Eight Dates and Nights - by Betsy Aldredge (Paperback)

About the Book

"Teens Hannah and Noah, who each have different ideas of how to spend Hanukkah, team up to save the last Jewish remnant in small-town Texas."--

Book Synopsis

From menorahs to moments of magic in Texas--fall in love this Festival of Lights with this cozy holiday romance!

New Yorker Hannah Levin is allergic to exactly two things, horses and tinsel. Unfortunately, she's surrounded by both when she's snowed in at her grandmother's home in a small Texas town.

Super lonely, missing latkes and reliable Wi-Fi, Hannah wanders into an old deli where she meets the only other Jewish teen around, Noah, who happens to be equal parts adorable and full of annoying, over the top festival of lights spirit that he's determined to share with Hannah one itchy Hanukkah sweater at a time.

As the days pass--and a spectacularly memorable kiss following Noah's made up game of truth or dare dreidel takes place--Hannah begins to wonder if maybe there's more to Hanukkah than she thought. . .
