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?

One of the cutest book I've read so far.
To be honest I was a bit skeptical about this story, I was afraid it would have been way to cheesy BUT...
I loved it. It's not just a love story about a boy and a girl, it's much more: it's a story about family, frienship, finding your true self and where you truly belong.
The writing is super funny, the character are enjoyable, and the whole "Christmas in Luisiana" atmosphere it' s what needed during this apocalytic time

Okay, real talk. This book was so cute and sweet and fun! It made for the perfect Christmas read. I loved Sofie, though I wish she didn’t end up with anyone in the end- I think it would have made for a better ending- realizing that her happiness isn’t dependent on boy, but, I digress. To put it super plainly, this book is equivalent to a good hallmark movie. Hella predictable, but super sweet and charming, and feel good! Loved it!
