10 Reasons You Should Read "10 Blind Dates"
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/43885673-10-blind-dates

When Sophie gets dumped by her boyfriend right before winter break for not being fun enough, 10 of her family members decide to set her up on one blind date each. This book is the perfect read to get started on once Halloween ends. Here's why.

Huge extended family (and the craziness that comes with it!)

Includes evil cousins, crazy aunts, a meddling grandma, and the whole family being super gossipy and allowing the main character no privacy

Insane dates

Whether in a bad way (living Nativity with a screaming baby and farm animals that like to chew on her blinking costume) or a good way (puppy parade at a hockey game- and she could play with them in her box seats!)

Good Guys

A lot of the dudes, though not perfect matches for Sophie, turn out to be genuinely nice.

Cousin bonding

You really see the closeness of Charlie, Olivia, and Sophie, and how well they vibe when they're together.

Self discovery

Sophie steps out of her comfort zone and takes on crazy challenges.

Unique traditions

Having all the kids line up outside the living room and building up their anticipation before opening presents while Nonna drinks her decaf, for instance.

Christmas in Louisiana

Relatable for people who spend Christmas in warmer climates.

Sticking it to an ex

Sophie's family continually tags her ex in photos where she's having fun on her dates.

Costume-themed bowling

Get you a family that goes bowling as Grease versus Game of Thrones.

An adorable romance

I admit I called it the second time he was mentioned, but you're gonna have the best time seeing their relationship develop.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
