Quick Review

All of my favorite things in one rom-com: an audiobook with Deaf rep (a hot Deaf MMC!) + a Passover story with lots of drama *and* comedy. Thoughtfully read by Kelli Tager. I definitely recommend Laura Brown's Matzah Ball Surprise!

(It fills my heart with joy to think I'm not the only person with an interest in Deaf characters who listens to read! Thank you thank you for putting this out in audio, Laura Brown!)

MATZAH BALL SURPRISE, an adult romantic comedy

Gaby Fineberg just wants to get through Passover Seder without her “well meaning” family playing matchmaker. She needs a date, just for one simple meal—that includes singing, the history of her forefathers, and not one bit of yeast. The hot guy at her gym would be perfect. He probably hates bread, anyway, with a body like that. But when she finally works up the nerve to ask him, he doesn’t hear a word she said…

Levi Miller is Deaf and happily single. He doesn’t know why this beautiful woman is talking to him, but it’s clear she needs help—and suddenly so does he. When his bad-news ex shows up trying to rekindle their romance, pretending Gaby is his new girlfriend is an easy decision. But to return the favor? He has to convince her family they’re the perfect couple, when they can barely communicate without writing every word.

This Passover is starting to feel like the ten plagues might be coming back to haunt them before the weekend is over...one hilarious misstep after the next
