“A laugh-out-loud funny romance with depth and heart, readers will love this spellbinding novel!” —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Is he the real deal…or did she truly summon a golem?

Faye Kaplan used to be engaged. She also used to have a successful legal practice. But she much prefers her new life as a potter in Woodstock, New York. The only thing missing is the perfect guy.

Not that she needs one. She’s definitely happy alone.

That is, until she finds her town papered with anti-Semitic flyers after yet another failed singles event at the synagogue. Desperate for comfort, Faye drunkenly turns to the only thing guaranteed to soothe her—pottery. A golem protector is just what her town needs…and adding all the little details to make him her ideal man can’t hurt, right?

When a seriously hot stranger mysteriously turns up the next day, Greg seems too good to be true—if you ignore the fact that Faye hit him with her bike. And that he subsequently lost his memory…

But otherwise, the man checks Every. Single. Box. Causing Faye to wonder if Greg’s sudden and spicy appearance might be anything but a coincidence.

Review

“A laugh-out-loud funny romance with depth and heart, readers will love this spellbinding novel!” —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author


“Meltzer’s timely exploration of antisemitic propaganda is sensitive while never overshadowing the cute romance that blossoms between Faye and Greg. This is Meltzer’s best yet.” —Publishers Weekly


“Meltzer’s (Kissing Kosher) latest is a page-turner, and readers won’t be able to stop until they have all the answers.” —Library Journal

“The slow burn of their romance along with plenty of humor amid the serious concerns make Meltzer's latest an excellent blend of Jewish culture and romance.” —Booklist


"For read­ers look­ing for a nov­el that is the equiv­a­lent of a ray of sun­shine, Mag­i­cal Meet Cute is the per­fect book. Fun­ny and heart­warm­ing, it is both a love sto­ry and a tale of Jew­ish tri­umph over hatred." —Jewish Book Council


"Magical Meet Cute is a poignant, timely, story about learning when to be brave, when to be soft, and the people you can trust in a storm. It's a story with so much heart and so much hope that is absolutely needed right now." —Felicia Grossman, author of Marry Me By Midnight


"Into her cauldron Jean Meltzer has thrown Jewish witches, Neo-Nazis, childhood abuse, the perfect man, a picturesque town, the best BFFs, a salami-eating ugly rescue dog and poof - out has come one of the best novels of 2024. Read it for the wit, humor, camaraderie and romance and then prepare to spend the next few days in awe, dwelling on Magical Meet Cute’s compelling and poignant plot (including a great twist or two) and all its joyful, life affirming messages." —M.J. Rose, New York Times bestselling author of Forgetting To Remember


“Magical Meet Cute is sure to enchant you with its humor and heart! This book and its message is an antidote that’s sorely needed in today’s world, and a powerful reminder of the magic behind our words.” —Heidi Shertok, author of Unorthodox Love


"With her latest offering, Jean Meltzer continues her trend of fearlessly tackling sensitive, mostly uncharted issues with finesse and humor. Creative, inventive, and romantic, Magical Meet Cute is her boldest novel yet." —Meredith Schorr, author of As Seen on TV


“Magic and romance collide in this heart-squeezing story of two lost souls finding that imperfections can turn out to be quite perfect. Meltzer's pen weaves charm with flaws in remarkable harmony that will leave readers enchanted.” —J'nell Ciesielski, bestselling author of The Socialite


"Magical Meet Cute is the Jewish joy we all need in our lives right now. It's a funny and playful page-turner, but with so much heart you'll be bursting by the end. It doesn't shy away from everything scary about being Jewish today, but it gives us the magic and romance we all deserve in our stories. I couldn't put this enchanting novel down." —Ali Rosen, bestselling author of Recipe for Second Chances


“This book is a masterclass in how to blend heart, humor, and a touch of the mystical, proving Meltzer isn’t just spinning clay—she’s spinning gold.” —Arden Joy, author of Keep This Off The Record


“This book is magic—in every sense. Jean Meltzer knows how to fire up tension and will keep you guessing almost to the end. The emotions are deep – I laughed, and I cried, and I swooned, and I couldn’t put it down. ” —Maan Gabriel, author of Twelve Hours in Manhattan


"A five-star tale that's far from ordinary. Meltzer manages to teach and dazzle in one single sitting." —Rochelle Weinstein, bestselling author of What You Do To Me


"In her bewitching new novel, Jean Meltzer conjures an otherworldly tale that interweaves the difficult subject of antisemitism with a healthy sprinkle of Jewish magic. The result is an unforgettable story that explores the universal desire to be protected, while reminding readers that love is the most powerful force of all." —Lindsay Hameroff, author of Till There Was You


"In Magical Meet Cute, Jean cements her rightfully earned place as the reigning queen of endearingly quirky and complex characters determined to fight for their happiness in a world that is constantly telling them they don’t deserve it." Jessica Lepe, author of Flirty Little Secret


“Magical Meet Cute presents a portrait of modern antisemitism, while reinforcing the need to thrive and find joy. Reminiscent of Practical Magic in the best of ways, Meltzer is truly the queen Jewitch of Jewish romance.” —Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don't Forget to Write


“An infusion of Jewish Magic brings Jean Meltzer's latest to another level, allowing her and her well drawn characters to grapple with larger contemporary issues without taking away from the heart that sits at the core of Meltzer's books. Brava.” —Stacey Agdern, award-winning author of The B'nai Mitzvah Mistake


"Love, magic, and all the sparks fly in this bewitching romance.” —Rachel Barenbaum author of Atomic Anna

"Jean Meltzer conjures up another winner, blending humor, heart, and a dash of the supernatural in her latest delightful romantic comedy." —Devon Daniels, author of The Rom Con


“Sexy, funny, suspenseful and adventurous…. My only question after finishing the book was, ‘When is her next novel being published?’” —The Reporter Group

About the Author

Jean Meltzer studied dramatic writing at NYU Tisch and has earned numerous awards for her work in television, including a daytime Emmy. She spent five years in rabbinical school before her chronic illness forced her to withdraw, and her father told her she should write a book―just not a Jewish one because no one reads those. The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah is her fifth novel.

Jean Meltzer is a nice Jewish girl with a not-so-secret love of Christmas. After a childhood steeped in Jewish tradition, kosher food, loving bubbes, and awkward Jewish summer camp romances, she found her way to NYU Tisch, where she studied dramatic writing and earned numerous awards for her work in television, including a daytime Emmy. She spent five years in rabbinical school, finally discovering the magic of Hanukkah for herself, before her chronic illness forced her to withdraw, and her father told her that she should write a book—just not a Jewish one because no one reads those. The Matzah Ball is her first novel. It combines all of the things she loves: warm and supportive families, tight-knit Jewish communities, Ashkenazi baked goods, big and swoony endings, Jewish shtick and humor, Judaism... and, of course, Christmas.
