The Shiksa Syndrome - A Novel (Paperback)


"Do shiksas really have more fun? A Jewish girl is about to find out in Laurie Graff's wickedly witty novel.
"SHIK-SA (shĭk'sə)
"n. Yiddish"
1. A non-Jewish woman. 2. A quintessential blonde beauty. 3. A Jewish boy's dream. 4. A Jewish girl's nightmare.
Manhattan publicist Aimee Albert knows a good spin, but she's the one who winds up reeling when her gorgeous, goyishe boyfriend breaks up with her-on Christmas! Aimee dusts herself off and decides to seek companionship with a member of her own tribe. There's just one problem: all the shiksas are snapping them up!
So when the very cute, Jewish, and gainfully employed Josh Hirsch catches Aimee's eye at a kosher wine tasting and mistakes her for a shiksa, what's a girl to do? Unfortunately, the charade goes on longer than Aimee planned, and her life becomes more complicated than a Bergman film. But Aimee begins to discover that her identity isn't as easily traded as a pair of Jimmy Choos, and she must decide if having the man of her dreams is worth the price of giving up so much of who she is.
