While the book is a romance, a big theme through out the whole novel is family. What kind of changing family dynamics were at play between Sophie and her different cousins, her aunts and uncles, her Papa and Nonna, and her parents and sister? How did those relationships alter her choices?

Are you ready to dive in to our first Teen Reads book club title?
Let’s start off our book club with a light read – a sweet romance by Ashley Elston, titled 10 Blind Dates.
The book can be downloaded here as an ebook:
https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12514431
Sophie wants one thing for Christmas – time with her boyfriend Garrett. So when her parents plan a trip to visit her sister over the holiday, Sophie begs to be left behind with her grandparents and her boisterous extended family. But she and Garret break up and she’s devastated.
Sophie’s grandmother, hating to see her so upset, devises a (not so) brilliant plan – to distract her from heartbreak. Over the next ten days, different family members will set Sophie up on ten different blind dates, which doesn’t sound awkward at all . . .
When Garrett turns up unexpectedly, it makes Sophie more confused than ever. Because maybe, just maybe, she’s started to have feelings for someone else. Someone who is definitely not available.
