I&#8217;m a Jean Meltzer book addict. I just finished Mr. Perfect on Paper when I saw an opportunity to read an advanced copy on NetGalley. I gobbled this book up in 24 hours. What did I love about it? The yiddishkeit is what really draws me to Jean Meltzer&#8217;s books, starting with The Matzah Ball. I love seeing elements of Judaism threaded throughout the text. Jean has a knack for explaining Jewish traditions, rituals, and even language without it seeming forced or hearing the author&#8217;s &#8220;voice&#8221;. Then there&#8217;s the romcom aspect. Funny, romantic, but with real world issues. In this case, (tw) verbal abuse, chronic disease, and pain management. The only bad thing is now I will probably have to wait what will seem like a lifetime for Jean&#8217;s fourth book!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a special edition of Your Next Jewish Read. <strong><em>Kissing Kosher: A Novel<\/em><\/strong> by Jean Meltzer (Author of <em><strong>Mr. Perfect on Paper<\/strong><\/em>) will be available on August 29, 2023. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Future Jewish Read &#8211; Coming August 29, 2023 &#8211; Kissing Kosther<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,85],"tags":[93,87,89,79,92,91,94,88,86,90],"class_list":["post-1493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","category-your-future-jewish-read","tag-august-2023","tag-chronic-illness","tag-contemporary","tag-jean-meltzer","tag-jewish","tag-judaism","tag-netgalley","tag-pain-management","tag-romcom","tag-yiddishkeit"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KissingKosherCover.png","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1497,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493\/revisions\/1497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
