Title: Jewish folklore aspect is inaccurate but fun anyway.
Review: I read this book excited by the idea of contemporary feminist Jewish folklore. I expected a kind of lesbian retake of the Jewish classic folktale "The Dybuk". Though the story is funny, it fails as modern folklore because the author has confused her folklore archtypes. A dybuk is the tormented spirit of person who died usually under strange circumstances. The souls of these dead posses a living person. Kokos, the "dybuk" in this story is really a demon, like her lover Lilith. Demons occupy a separate place in Jewish folklore. Too bad, the story would have been that much better if the author had gotten her folklore characters right.
