Synopsis: 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. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: This was a lot of fun to read! I was drawn in by the synopsis from the very start.
Faye is at a very different place in life than she expected to be. She went from engaged to single, corporate life to a pottery maker. She's happy, but sometimes she feels sorry for herself. I really enjoyed Faye's story. She had a lot of bravery.
I also enjoyed the romance between Faye and Greg.
This story also has incorporates Faye''s Judaism and antisemitism that were important to the overall book.
I really enjoyed this and will definitely read more of Jean Meltzer's stuff.
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. Magical Meet Cute is her fourth novel.
