This was one of my favorite of the series. I ADORED Eli. He was precocious and snarky, hilarious and blunt, funny and sweet - all rolled into one. Seth kinda bugged me at first. He seemed to either just be oblivious to how hard he was making things for Eli or didn't care.
But - when Seth finally figures things out - YOWZA - the man did surprise me! He turns out to be quite the experimental and daring lover and I loved their interactions in the bedroom.
I also loved the funny wedding stories and thought it was so clever how each chapter started with an invitation and ended with... well - you'll see!

I read and giggled and laughed out loud and sighed and awww'd and sniffled and smiled. ...Theirs was a journey of hope, faith and love. The writing draws you in from the start and never lets you go. It's engaging, honest and humorous, yet emotional when befitting the situation, and holy hot boysecks, Batman. The whole relationship with its slow burn is permeated by respect and friendship for each other, and a deep, abiding connection. Seth might have taken his time, but when he figures it out, it's full steam ahead. And Eli, persistent, a little hesitant but oh so sure of what he wants - simply a joy to behold... Humor abounds during the weddings Seth officiates, and there are plenty of sweet moments between him and Eli too. ... Highly recommended. Utterly beautiful.

Seth and Eli are wonderful characters. ...Eli's unrequited love and Seth's confusion and fear, they are two emotionally-driven characters. And so perfect for one another. I enjoyed Seth's journey of self-discovery. Finding and accepting himself and then accepting his feelings for Eli show Seth in a whole new, stronger, more confident light. And Eli's growth and maturity, his journey from child to man, is great. To see the lust-addled boy grow into an amazing, confident (still lust-addled) man is a beautiful part of this book. And to see those men dance around one another throughout their lives only to find each other at the perfect time. ... So, not only is this story a beautiful tale of true love, meant to be, soul mates - whatever you want to call it - it's also a hilarious peek into the life of a rabbi and his many adventures into weddings. I'm telling you guys, the "wedding curse" that Seth suffers had me rolling with laughter, tears running down my face.

This book was fabulous, a brilliant addition to the ‘Home’ series, though part of a series can be read as a standalone.  BUT that said I do recommend reading the whole series, not because you need to in order to understand the other books in the series.  No I recommend reading it because they are all perfection.  I don’t think Cardeno C knows how to write a bad book.
