Eight Winter Nights

Rachel Bacharach met Oz Caplan at a Hanukkah party and fell instantly, quietly, hopelessly in love. Before she could say a word, her outgoing best friend Tamara "called" him first, and Rachel did what she always does: she stepped back and kept writing her feelings into a journal no one would ever read.

A year later, Oz and Tamara have broken up, and Oz asks Rachel for help winning Tamara back before their Hanukkah anniversary. He wants love letters. Rachel, painfully, has a year of them already written, addressed to him. Over the eight nights of the festival she plays Cyrano to her own heart, watching another woman receive the words she meant for herself.

Written as an Audible Original and set among a circle of New York friends, Eight Winter Nights is a warm, funny holiday romance about candour, self-worth, and the cost of always being the one who steps aside.
