Publisher's summary

Cozy up with this warm, festive rom com novella about being true to your heart, the friendships that define us, and the irresistible pull of holiday magic.

Last year, Rachel Bacharach met the man of her dreams at a Hanukkah party — and then her outgoing best friend Tamara swooped in and “called” Oz Caplan for herself. It’s a typical outcome for the dependable, bookish Rachel, who is never able to extinguish the spark she immediately felt for Oz. But being secretly in love with her best friend’s boyfriend all year hasn’t been easy.

As this year’s party approaches, Oz and Tamara break up. It’s a worst-case scenario when Oz asks Rachel to help him write Tamara love letters to win her back in time for their Hanukkah anniversary. Rachel’s been writing love letters to Oz in her journals for a year; she knows all the words he would need. But will Rachel be able to hide her true feelings from Oz any longer? And might this year’s party finally be Rachel’s chance to trust her heart and put everything on the line for love?

Super Cute and Worth the Listen

I really enjoyed this book. Super sweet, cute and funny. Worth the listen especially since it’s a freebie. Elegantly narrated with likable characters. Highly recommend!

I only the best of what i hear!

I'm going to eat a little crow. I avoid books under 8hrs because the author can't possibly develop a worthwhile story in less than that. Ha! I was wrong. I'll probably listen to this one again too! I'll certainly recommend it. I'll also look for more books from this author.

Simply lovely!!

Excellent narration, lovely story, would highly recommend. I loved it. a great pick me up for the holidays

High hopes dashed

Am I the only one who thinks that Tamara and Oz are 2 really crappy people? Tamara basically uses up Oz and then tries to regift him to Rachel and Oz is so ignorant he is clues. Expecting a cute holiday romance instead got a story about someone with such low self esteem that she was happy to take sloppy leftovers and keep a selfish crappy friend. Even though this was a quick listen it was a waste of time.

Cute Hanukkah Romance

This was such a cute Hanukkah story. I loved it so much. Rachel was a lovable character. I would definitely recommend this. The narration was also fabulous!

Sweet Little Story

This was a lovely book. It was an Easy listen. Super sweet and enjoyable. Great food the holiday season.

A quick and fun holiday read!

Liz Maverick's Eight Winter Nights is a cute holiday read, or in this case listen, that follows a group of friends during Hanukkah in a rom-com of romance lost and having one asking if second chances can happen. I almost gave this book two stars as I wasn't too impressed with it, but it did have it's cute parts so I moved it up to three stars all together. I really struggled connecting to the characters and the world building and the atmosphere of the book, to me, seemed lacking. I also didn't feel the romance and emotion between the main protagonists and even found them frustrating at times. As for how the narrator's were, Eva Kaminsky does a fabulous job and I loved her voice and her character portrayal, but as for Jason Clarke's narrating, I have to say I struggled with it. I enjoyed his voice, but his narration seemed lacking in emotion and depth for a rom-com style book.

Fun holiday listen

Exactly what I expected and wanted during the holidays. A fun listening while driving or decorating.

Sweet Holiday Love Story

This book would make a great Hallmark Holiday Movie. Enjoyed listening to it and would recommend.

Not as good as I hoped

I hated the heroine and hero. She was a stupid idiot that let her supposed best friend run all over her and he was stupid enough to date said friend for a year despite meeting her first.
