Soon by You

Arielle Becker has worn more hideous bridesmaid dresses than she can count, and she is done—with the Spanx, the speeches, and most of all, the insufferably smug wedding singer who seems to show up at every single celebration just to drive her absolutely crazy.

Judah Klein is New York City's most sought-after Modern Orthodox wedding singer, charming every room he enters—except, apparently, the one containing Arielle. After years of fruitless matchmaking attempts, he's convinced love isn't in the cards for him. Then one sharp-tongued bridesmaid keeps crossing his path, and suddenly Judah isn't so sure about anything anymore.

Set against the warm, vibrant backdrop of Manhattan's Modern Orthodox community—where everyone knows everyone, weddings are a way of life, and the matchmakers never rest—Soon by You is a witty, deeply romantic comedy about two people who clash beautifully. Dahlia Adler balances razor-sharp banter with genuine emotional tenderness, crafting a story that feels both joyfully funny and surprisingly moving. The cultural specificity gives this rom-com a richness that feels fresh and wholly original, grounding the romance in community, tradition, and the very real messiness of modern Jewish dating.

When Arielle and Judah's pointed jabs start feeling suspiciously like flirtation, they're forced to reckon with a terrifying possibility: what if your most irritating person is actually your perfect person? Readers who love big feelings wrapped in sharp wit won't be able to put this one down.
