10 Blind Dates

One broken heart, ten blind dates--and a whole lot of confusion! "POSITIVELY DELIGHTFUL-all caps-from beginning to end." - NPR "This piece-by-piece romance doesn't need its Christmas theme to sell, but it makes it glitter all the more." - Booklist Sophie wants one thing for Christmas--a little freedom from her overprotective parents. So when they decide to spend Christmas in South Louisiana with her very pregnant older sister, Sophie is looking forward to some much needed private (read: make-out) time with her long-term boyfriend, Griffin. Except it turns out that Griffin wants a little freedom from their relationship. Heartbroken, Sophie flees to her grandparents' house, where the rest of her boisterous extended family is gathered for the holiday. That's when her nonna devises a (not so) brilliant plan: Over the next ten days, Sophie will be set up on ten different blind dates by different family members. Like her sweet cousin Sara, who sets her up with a hot guy at an exclusive underground party. Or her crazy aunt Patrice, who signs Sophie up for a lead role in a living nativity. With a boy who barely reaches her shoulder. And a screaming baby .When Griffin turns up unexpectedly and begs for a second chance, Sophie feels more confused than ever. Because maybe, just maybe, she's started to have feelings for someone else . . . Someone who is definitely not available.This is going to be the worst Christmas break ever . . . or is it?

17-årige Sophie ønsker sig kun én ting til jul: at få en pause fra sine overbeskyttende forældre. Så da de beslutter sig for at besøge hendes meget gravide søster hen over julen, ser hun frem til noget tiltrængt alenetid med kæresten Griffin. Men det viser sig, at det, han har brug for, er en pause fra hende. Totalt fortvivlet flygter Sophie hjem til sine bedsteforældre, hvor resten af hendes skøre og højrøstede familie er samlet. Og her udtænkes den (knap så) geniale plan: I løbet af juleferien skal Sophie på 10 blind dates … med fyre, som hendes familie udvælger. OMG! Og som om det ikke var nok, dukker Griffin pludselig op midt i det hele og vil have hende tilbage. Men er det overhovedet, hvad Sophie ønsker? For måske (kun måske) er hun ved at få følelser for en anden. En, som absolut ikke er ledig ... Det ser ud til at blive den værste ferie EVER. Eller gør det?
