PRAISE FOR BROOKLYN LOVE
“
"Levy’s endearing debut novel…A funny, deeply affecting comedy of manners and marriage.”
KIRKUS BOOK REVIEWS
“
“Levy gives an introspective look into the life of Orthodox Jews and their beliefs as seen through the eyes of women entering adulthood. Quite informative, it relays the angst of these women who feel as if they have no control over their lives but are striving to have a normal existence.”
ROMANTIC TIMES BOOK REVIEWS
“
“The intertwined stories flow, the writing is lovely, and this book will be valued by older teen readers and their mothers.”
