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?

"This piece-by-piece romance doesn't need its Christmas theme to sell, but it makes it glitter all the more."—Booklist
"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

My thoughts! 
★★★★
This book was everything I wanted, a light, cute, fluffy read, and that's exactly what I got! 

The whole plot idea of Sophie's family picking out the dates and the activity of the date was adorable and hilarious. I enjoyed every single chapter of it.

This book had one of the cutest family dynamics I had ever seen in a book, and it really just warmed my heart to see how all of all of them interacted with one another.

Another thing I loved in this book were the friendships between the four friends, and how they all cared for one another, but also enjoyed laughing at one another, which is something I can totally relate to since my friends and siblings behave a lot like that. 

Overall, this book was such a fluffy and cute read and I enjoyed every second of it! I will definitely be picking up Elston's other books.

The Queen's Assassin by Melissa De La Cruz ★ ★ Perfect for fans of Sarah J.

Now Entering Addamsville by Francesca Zappia ARC Review

Now Entering Addamville by Francesca Zappia ★★ ★ Zora Novak has been framed. When someone burns down the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of the real killer. There’s one big problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy, and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead. The arsonist was never caught. Now, Zora must team up with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the lines of Addamsville’s
