The Shiksa Syndrome: A Novel von Laurie Graff

I had very mixed feelings about this book. At time I got frustrated with the fast-paced writing style ( i spent a good amount of time flipping back to see what I missed) and at times the story line irked me. It was the ending though that I really enjoyed, but as much I enjoyed the ending, it the plot line in the middle frustrated me.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Lots of things I could relate too and I definitely improved my Hebrew/Yiddish skills.

The Shiksa Syndrome von Laurie Graff

The ruse continues way too long, and zany complications ensue. This got offensive and uncomfortable (Amy pretends not to know her family, they visit her "church"), though I must admit it was funny when Josh surprised her with a trip to her "hometown" Scranton (she was actually from the Upper West Side).
