Mr. Perfect on Paper by Jean Meltzer

By Tracy

 Release Date - August 9, 2022


It's during a live broadcast that Dara Rabinowitz's Bubbe Miriam blurts to the world that the organized founder of the Jewish dating app, J-Mate, even has a list of her "Perfect Jewish Husband." For Chris Steadfast, it could be exactly what he needs to save his job. He's just learned that the news channel is about to pull his show, and after uprooting his daughter to NYC following her mother's tragic death, he cannot go through another move.

It's for that reason that Chris and his producer take all of the social media buzz to heart and ask Dara to let them find the guy that checks ever item on her wish list. They'll broadcast each date on the way to finding Mr. Perfect. A man who...

  • Is a doctor or lawyer
  • Not previously married and doesn't have kids
  • And is Jewish and, most importantly, one who who follows Jewish laws, especially the Kosher diet

It's proving harder than Chris first imagined. Each date keeps falling victim to unexpected, and completely unplanned situations (think a honey bee stuck in Dara's hair). The bigger issue, Chris is falling for Dara, but he doesn't check any of her boxes, so he knows it's a moot point.

I loved Jean Meltzer's The Matzah Ball. Mr. Perfect on Paper is just as warm and inviting. It's packed with humorous touches and likable characters, even if Dara was a little blind to true love at times. Still, I couldn't put it down and was delighted as the romance played out in delightfully unexpected ways. It's been cooler and rainy here in Vermont, and this was the perfect romance to curl up with over a hot cup of tea.

Coach Broyles' Playbook for Alzheimer's Caregivers

By Tracy
Genre: Self-help Publisher: Alzheimer's Association Release Date: 2006 After my aunt died, my mom had an argument with me one day that was a little frightening. She insisted that no one had told her that my aunt had hemochromatosis. My own mom had told me a few years earlier. I wrote it off to the grief. That was the first true sign I saw that made me question. Over time, she was often asking the same question dozens of times a day. Telling me she hadn't talked to me in ages when we'd just talked an hour earlier. She even started giving me clothing that she swore was my aunts, but I knew we'd bought it together when our shopping just a week earlier. I urged my dad to take my mom to a specialist and the diagnosis was Mild Cognitive Impairment. Every few months, he'd tell me he'd taken my mom for another check and she was find. When my dad died, I quickly found out that MCI was the initial diagnosis, but it had progressed to Alzheimer's in 2014. We

All Summer Long - Susan Mallery

By Tracy
Released August 2012 Susan Mallery Harlequin Book Review by Tracy Farnsworth I couldn't wait. After finishing Summer Nights , I was dying to read Charlie's story. Fool's Gold's firefighter is an amazingly strong woman, but her past definitely influences her present. In All Summer Long , Charlie knows she must move beyond events from her past if she's going to be a good mother. Her goal is to adopt or go through in vitro in order to have the child she longs for, but after she's come to terms with her college years.
