Why Did I Listen To Eight Nights Of Flirting?
I am trying to get through my Netgalley queue and wanted to listen to a book that was a little less heavy than my previous listen – House Of Hunger. Eight Nights Of Flirting by Hannah Reynolds absolutely fit the bill. This contemporary young adult seasonal audiobook was a perfect choice for my needs at the time.
What’s The Story Here?
Eight Nights Of Flirting by Hannah Reynolds is set during Hanukkah. It is about Shira Barbanel who has never had a boyfriend and decides to make it her mission to land Isaac who is interning with her family. On paper he’s perfect. When travel issues strike and she runs into her childhood friend Tyler Nelson, she enlists his help as he provides her with some flirting lessons. The two also end up finding some artifacts in the attic and are faced with an old time mystery love — so that’s like a side plot and wonderful. We also get to experience Shira’s large and wonderful family as they come together to celebrate Hanukkah at Golden Doors which is the Barbanel family home on Nantucket.
What Did I Think of Eight Nights Of Flirting?
I very much enjoyed Hannah Reynolds’s Eight Nights Of Flirting. I don’t know that I’ve ever read a Hanukkah themed romance before. So, this was the absolute perfect one to start with. It has one of my favorite tropes — dating lessons. Also, where the female main character thinks she wants one person, but it turns out actually they want the one giving them lessons. This story is so sweet and the family element is wonderful. Also, seeing Shira open up to others and let her guard down and be less reserved made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
How’s The Narration?
The audiobook is narrated by Emily Reynolds who is wonderful. Reynolds is easy to listen to, has a youthful voice and really carries the story. The audiobook is short too – clocking in at 9 hours and 53 minutes. I listened to it sped up to 2x, hence it feeling short.
