false <![CDATA[The Shiksa Syndrome: A Novel]]> 2403952 3 Manhattan publicist Aimee Albert knows a good spin, but she’s the one who winds up reeling when her gorgeous, goyishe boyfriend breaks up with her—on Christmas! For a stand-up comedian, you’d think he would have better timing. But Aimee’s not about to let a man who doesn’t even have a real job get her down. She dusts herself off and decides to seek companionship with a member of her own tribe. There’s just one problem: all the shiksas are snapping them up! So when the very cute, Jewish, and gainfully employed Josh Hirsch catches Aimee’s eye at a kosher wine tasting and mistakes her for a shiksa, what’s a girl to do? Hey, her heart was broken, not her head! Unfortunately, the charade goes on longer than Aimee planned, and her life becomes more complicated than a Bergman film. To make matters worse, Josh and Aimee aren’t exactly on the same page as far as their attitudes toward Judaism go, creating tension in the relationship. But as Aimee begins to discover that her identity isn’t as easily traded as a pair of Jimmy Choos, she must decide if having the man of her dreams is worth the price of giving up so much of who she is. Wry and witty, The Shiksa Syndrome is a by turns laugh-out-loud funny and disarmingly poignant. 2411091 7 10 2008 The Shiksa Syndrome: A Novel total:91|5:11|4:14|3:30|2:29|1:7| 91 266 157 35 2 1 false false Sat Jan 24 11:46:12 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 11:49:58 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Sep 20 16:12:07 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 16:12:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 17:19:41 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 17:24:27 -0700 2008

Since there isn't enough Jewish chick lit around, maybe I should be more forgiving, but... no. It wouldn't sit well with my Jewish in spirit soul. :)]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 15:00:26 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 19:50:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Oct 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 07:51:55 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 19:27:48 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 24 20:11:25 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 20:11:57 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 23:31:59 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 23:33:06 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2403952
