The Love Story
The search for the perfect woman was going exactly to plan... Until it wasn't.
Bracha Cohen plans everything, even her grief. So when her late mother's dying wish is for her to settle down, Bracha does what any logical perfectionist would she makes a checklist for the perfect wife. Nine points. Non-negotiable.
But life refuses to stick to schedules. With her brother about to be released from prison and old family tensions bubbling back to the surface, Bracha needs a plan to hold everything together.
Armed with her list, she leaves Sydney’s bars for Tel Aviv’s hostels — but between bad dates, kibbutz mishaps, and two very different women, Bracha’s perfect plan quickly unravels.
As family drama unfolds and she is forced to confront her grief, Bracha must decide if love is about meeting the criteria, or finding the person who makes her want to throw the list away.
