When an act of Ant-Semitism hits her small town, Faye gets good and drunk and makes herself a golem, imbuing it with everything she’d like in a man and to help defend their town. The next day she accidentally runs into a guy on her bike leaving him with amnesia. As he recovers, he begins exhibiting all the traits Faye had put into her golem, and she wonders if her golem actually came to life.
A very timely story. As a Jew, I really liked the stories of the golem and how it changed over time. I liked how Greg fell for her even when she hit him with her bike, and how he was already perfect for her. And Nelly was a hoot! I definitely recommend this story.
This was a really cute read. I have never read a book about golems so the premise really intrigued me. Faye's story was very compelling, having to start over with a new career after a failed engagement and trying to get back out there and trust people. She also identifies is a Jewitch which means she mixes magical elements with her Jewish heritage and culture. So after a scary incident she creates this golem to protect herself and her community and it starts a series of event that lets her to find her courage and confront her trauma. Greg was such a sweet character, trying to help her while also trying to find himself. And Nelly's character was a hoot, I laughed every time she appear. I really liked that they really work on their problems at the end before committing to each other.
