Here's where things get tricky: a blind date book may be unwrapped only 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 you borrow it. So, take a chance and read something outside your comfort zone. Each wrapped book has a book review form tucked inside page 25. After reading the book, complete the book review form and turn it in to the front desk for a chance to win a candy basket or a $25 VISA card! If you don't like your date, you don't have to read it. Bring it back and try a new date. ❤
