"The Acquisition"

A Hanukkah party, an ex, and a rash decision to fake a relationship with a cute stranger. By Lindsay Hameroff.

Hannah says:

Picture this: It’s been three months since you and your ex broke up, you’re walking into your friend’s Hanukkah party, and you spot him with his new girlfriend. What do you do — hide in the bushes? Stride in, single and proud? In “The Acquisition,” our girl Becca makes a very different move: she pays the handsome stranger in her Uber a cool $300 to pretend to be her boyfriend. I’m so glad she did.

This story by Lindsay Hameroff, author of the forthcoming Till There Was You, is heartwarming, hopeful, funny, and delightfully festive. Grab a latke and enjoy.
