So it's... he's doubled down on the Judaism and done it so badly. At the basic level, he gets wrong how long it is between rosh hashana and yom kippur, he decides son of/daughter of use "e" between the names when you're naming both parents instead of "v", and use the last name instead of the first name, so some really basic problems. And then the more complicated worldbuilding problems rear their heads because he's brought the Judaism back to the forefront and done it in such a way that it's ... so you know where "it's not insensitive it's just unthinking", well, it's reached the point where it's a problem to be this casual. Somehow he made a country between Italy and France that is American Reform and the problems with that just get more and more the more you look at it, and in this book, he looks at it. And does not fix the problems. He doesn't care to put the work in, because these are half-assed hallmark romances that he's asking for unpaid beta readers to fix for him to sell, and I lost patience with that books ago, and now I've lost enough patience that I don't even know if I should leave comments to tell him how wrong he is, because he's not going to fix it, and if he actually cared, he'd not have made these mistakes, because he'd have listened to everyone who told him to slow down or stop or think about it for a moment.

...guess I'm still mad.
