📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
by Ashley Elston
When Sophie walks in on her boyfriend Griffin discussing
breaking up with her, she is heartbroken. Thankfully she has a built-in escape
as she is spending the holidays at her grandparents’ house. To help Sophie’s
broken heart, her Nonna thinks Sophie should go on some dates. Ten dates, to be
exact, with the guy and activity selected by one of the members of her large
family. Some she won’t have to worry about, such as her cousin Sara’s and her
other cousin Olivia’s pick. In contrast, her evil cousin Jo’s and crazy Aunt
Patrice’s are unknowns. Then Griffin pops up, asking for forgiveness so it
should be simple, but reconnecting with the boy next door throughout the
process makes it complicated.
It doesn’t have to be the holidays to enjoy this fun and
entertaining read. Some parts of the story are corny but easy to forgive. While
Sophie’s dates play a significant role in the story, it is also about her
growth over her time there and reconnecting with her large family. Readers will
enjoy finding out who her dates are, what the activity is, and just how it
goes.
