" Good for a quick chic-lit book. Learned something new despite having worked at a JCC for a couple years. Read for a book club, interested to discuss and see how true to life it is. "

" I read The Rabbi's Daughter for my book club but though I learned alot about, I did not relate to it at all. I search for a book my about the type of Judaism that I practice. After searching, my librarian recommended this book. I enjoyed it. Very interesting to see what a woman would do to get a jewish man. However, when I thought about it, I don't know that I could have put up with the charade as long as Aimee did. I would recommend this to anyone who is having trouble finding a Jewish man, since there seem to be many out there with Shiksa syndrome. "

" This was a great book...very funny, yet poignant as well as it depicts the struggle of a single Jewish woman trying to find the right man. She sees how non Jewish women snatch all the available Jewish single men and decides the only way to catch a Jewish man is to pretend to be a shiksa. The charade takes her on an unexpected journey and the interaction with her friends and family is portrayed realistically. At times very funny and other times sad, I totally related to the characters and events that the author described. A great quick read. Loved it!! "

" Total fluff. Entertaining at times, and cool because it takes place on the Upper West Side. But, it plays to too many stereotypes. "

" Oy vey. I had a lot of problems with this book, not the least of which involved her size 6 pants being too big. Throw in my raving distate for "Jewish boyfriend" and all the shiskas and I just really didn't enjoy this book. The best part was probably the yiddish dictionary at the back. "

" This book was hilarious! It was a great, quick read. I was amazed by all the Jewish men that wanted non-Jewish women. I was so glad it ended the way it did. Since I'm not Jewish, I enjoyed learning some of the Jewish words and the explanation of Jewish traditions. "
