3.5 stars -- I was totally charmed by the character and story of this one. Yes, it has it's faults (the writing is quite choppy in a few places, and the ending is rushed), but overall, I really appreciated 2 things: a) that the two key parts of the characters' identity (for both of them, that they are Jewish, and for the hero, that he is deaf) are integral parts of the story in a way that I thought was handled gracefully, and b) the heroine's emotions around her father's passing. The latter I am

This book wrapped me up in swaddling clothes, fed me warm soup, and soothed my soul. I can't rave about this book more! Not only does it contain deaf AND Jewish #ownvoices rep in it, it also takes place almost entirely over Passover weekend! I am slightly familiar with Judaic customs, considering I grew up ...more

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown was definitely a pleasant surprise for me and I loved it. Ms. Brown is a new author to me and I love how she wrote the texts back and forth for both Gaby and Levi plus I'm going to be checking out her other books.

Fake relationship? Check. Only one bed? Check. If you like these tropes, you are in for a great with Matzah Ball Surprise. The female MC struggles with self esteem issues relatable to all readers, and realistically overcomes the, by the end of the book. Readers looking for contemporary stories featuring Jewish characters will be delighted, especially as the author focuses on Jewish families, holidays and traditions. My one quibble is with the conflict the MCs face; why the male MC would go along

Matzah Ball Surprise was such a fun read! I loved the interactions between Gaby and Levi; despite throwing themselves into a new situation, they click in a way that's easy to root for. I'm also a huge fan of the fake date trope, and this story doesn't disappoint. Laura Brown does a great job of building tension and putting the reader inside the characters' heads. Highly recommended for anyone who loves romantic comedies and fake-dates-turned-romance!
A cute very light romance. Not much substance but a quick fun read. I received an advance copy
