This companion to Ashley Elston’s beloved 10 Blind Dates follows Sophie’s high-achieving cousin Olivia as she juggles last-minute P.E. credit, end-of-year parties, and a secret new romance in the chaotic week before graduation.
It’s Senior Party Week, that magical in-between time after classes have
ended but before graduation, chock-full of gimmicky theme parties, last-minute
bonding, and family traditions. Olivia couldn’t be more ready. Class
salutatorian and confident in her future at LSU, she’s poised to sail through
to the next phase of her life.
But when the tiny hiccup of an unsigned off-campus P.E. form puts Olivia
in danger of not graduating at all, she has one week to set things straight
without tipping off her very big and very nosy extended family. Volunteering to
help at a local golf tournament should do it, but since Olivia’s mom equipped
her phone with a tracking app, there’ll be no hiding the fact that she’s at the
golf course instead of all the graduation parties happening at the same time.
Unless, that is, she can convince the Fab Four–her ride-or-die cousins and
best friends Sophie, Charlie, and Wes–to trade phones with her as they go
through the motions of playing Olivia for the week.
Praise for 10 Blind Dates by
Ashley Elston:
2020 ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers Top Ten Title
2020 Florida Teens Read Book List
“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
“A fun story of finding love, getting to know yourself, and getting to
know your family.”—Kirkus Reviews
“In a funny holiday romance that has Sophie dog-sitting in a hockey rink,
watching porn at a drive-in theater, and playing the Virgin Mary in a middle
school Nativity, Elston cleverly reflects the family members’ personalities
through their choices of dates for Sophie.”—Publishers Weekly
REVIEW: What a perfect book! I found myself chuckling throughout the entire story at the antics Sophie has to go through in attempt to complete her Senior year. I was part of the way through the first few chapter before realizing the characters in 10 Truths and a Dare were carried over from 10 Blind Dates. The evil cousins are back…who could forget? The family dynamic is perfect! It is amazing to see such a strong presence in YA literature. Sophie’s clan all pull together to support one another and are a tight knit hilarious group. You will find yourself smiling as they pull off a switch during grad party week to save the day. There is just so much to love about Leo and the text exchanges in each chapter are genius. One of my favorite reads this year. Pick it up for your Senior.
