A review by rachel__anne
10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston
4.0
Honestly this book was a huge surprise for me! Of course I love sappy YA romcoms and contemporary’s but I have seen so many negative reviews for this book my standards were low!
But oh was I wrong! This is a super cute book about a family setting up 10 blind dates for our lead character Sophia. Sophia recently broke up with her boyfriend and when her grandmother finds her crying, she makes it her mission to make Sophia happy again!
What I liked-
I actually loved Sophia. Yes she is the typical YA girl but, she was funny, emotional and not always perfect!
The fab 4 is the main group of friends in this book and I felt like they all actually were real best friends.
Wes. He is a love interest throughout the whole novel but is always unavailable due to his girlfriend. Lots of people say he has no personality or charm but I wholly disagree! He is super cute.
Sophia has a sister in the book, who is going through a tough pregnancy and I really enjoyed seeing this in a YA novel. It is something I don’t see often.
The maturity of the book. The dates were really funny and did not feel like a 10 year old was on a date. (I won’t give spoilers but the evil joes date was so funny, I actually laughed out loud)
What I disliked-
The huge cast of characters. I felt a little lost sometimes!
The length of the chapters, they were so long!!
If you enjoyed books like Anna and the French kiss I think you would enjoy this cute Christmas read!! 4/5 ⭐️✨
