'I could not put this one down!... I was laughing out loud what felt like every other page. Absolutely hilarious... Just 10/10' Reader review, 5 stars
Maybe G‑d was distracted the day He assigned soulmates, and accidentally skipped me. Or maybe I was the distracted one, backstroking through the clouds and making dead people jokes, and totally forgot to get in line. Yeah, that must’ve been it.
Penina has grown up believing the Orthodox Jewish teaching that there is one soulmate out there for everyone. But now she's twenty-nine and single, she's starting to wonder if she's the exception.
She has tried everything to find 'the one' and after yet another disastrous date, she can feel even her faith starting to dwindle.
Add to that spending her days surrounded by diamond engagement rings in the jewellery store where she works and her new boss, Sam Kleinfeld, making her life a living hell, and Penina feels more hopeless than ever.
Until she meets Zevi, a handsome, successful, Orthodox singleton just like her. Who has a rather unusual proposal. Could Penina be about to get everything she's ever wanted?
But then there's Sam, her very non-Orthodox, pain of a boss, who she just can't stop thinking about... Penina has always followed the rules. But will finally getting a chance at true love mean she needs to break some?
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy, with a totally unique heroine who will capture your heart. Fans of Ali Hazelwood, Sophie Kinsella and Emily Henry will be hooked from the very first page!
Everyone is falling head over heels for Unorthodox Love:

Praise for this book
"I adored Penina, her story and the journey she takes through the pages of Unorthodox Love. Heidi Shertok has penned a beautiful tale of learning how to reach for exactly what you want, even if it sometimes seems impossible. Even as you're falling in love." - Stacey Agdern
"Romcom fans will lose their minds over Unorthodox Love, a hilarious debut from author Heidi Shertok, whose quirky and lovable characters are remarkably relatable, even for readers who might not know a mitsvah from a matzoh ball. I fell in love with Penina and Sam as they stumbled and tumbled (in Penina's case, while wearing seriously great shoes) to their happily ever after. And believe me, there's no burn like the slow burn of two people who aren't allowed to touch each other . . . whew! It was an absolutely perfect ending except for the part where it, you know, ended. I can hardly wait for the next book by Heidi Shertok!" - Carly Bloom

"Delightfully Jewish, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of snappy dialogue, Unorthodox Love was an absolute joy from beginning to end! Penina is a character to root for--endearing, kind, and worthy of the happily-ever-after she ultimately gets. Sam is as delicious as he is grumpy and the two of them together are simply magic. I devoured this book!" - Meredith Schorr
