10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston
4.0
This turned out much better than I anticipated! It was still a little juvenile and cheesy but also full of heart, loving family, and humorous moments. It was a great YA age, because the characters were about to graduate high school and had to think about college. The ending was sweet if predictable.
The family - I adore them. I have a very large family as well. The annoying in-your-business aspect of Sophie’s family is accurate yet they are all loving and want the best for her. Sophie herself was a pretty regular main character. It wasn’t difficult to be an audience to her life. All of her choices were rationalized.
Of course I enjoyed the blind dates aspect, but it really wasn’t the main theme of the book. The Christmas setting was a nice touch, but again not a main theme. You could read this any time of the year and really enjoy it in my opinion.
