History of Us

Stacey Agdern2021
Do they have a future together, or is their relationship ancient history? Anna Cohen, perpetual assistant at the Manhattan Museum of Jewish History, lands a golden chance to curate her own exhibit when her boss sends her to Rockliffe Manor, New York. She’s to assist an influential Jewish family as they organize an exhibit of their own in time for the town's Summer Days Festival. While she's there, Anna just needs to convince them to part with some of their archival history for an upcoming exhibition—something they’ve always refused—and not get involved with her ex, the family’s heir. Again. Jacob Horowitz-Margareten wants to help save the world. Despite having no time to spend organizing his family’s archives, he’s always had a soft spot for Anna. The chance to spend more time with her intrigues him, but he doesn’t trust her boss or the museum she works for with the tangible bits of his family’s rich history. As they work together, Anna and Jacob need to decide what’s more important: their history or the story their hearts are telling them.

A wonderful exploration of family, history, and preserving identity while also moving forward to the future, I appreciate the thoughtfulness the author put into the world she built, but the romance just wasn't there for me. For a second chance, I needed more time with the love interests on page together, more of a glimpse into their personal history, more of a reason why I should be invested in their HEA. Thank you to LJ and the publisher for the ARC. Professional review to come in Library Journal
