Of course, it is quite outlandish, but it’s a lot of fun, and perfect for the holidays.įinally, Lauren Myracle’s story is called The Patron Saint of Pigs. Otherwise, I really enjoyed his story, which follows Tobin and his group of friends attempting to visit the local Waffle House after a bunch of cheerleaders get stranded there. I was quite disappointed that Green decided to use a gay slur in his story, and that his characters used the R-word (more information on that HERE). The second story is by none other than John Green, and is called A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle. Even though The Jubilee Express features the insta-love trope popular in a lot of young adult fiction, it was enjoyable in this short story. I really enjoyed Johnson’s writing – it is snarky and funny, and flows really well. This is my favorite story in the book, and it follows Jubilee as she travels south by train to visit her grandparents in Florida after her parents are thrown in jail on Christmas Eve. The book begins with Maureen Johnson’s The Jubilee Express. They are sweet, silly, and super enjoyable. In each story we follow a different cast of characters, but, of course, each is a holiday romance. Each story takes place in Gracetown, a small town that is experiencing a huge snowstorm on Christmas Eve.
I had no idea that the three stories in the book are interconnected, and that was a great surprise for me. There is something magical about Christmas stories, and Let it Snow contains three. While I wouldn’t call myself a seasonal reader, I was very excited to pick up Let it Snow as soon as the holiday season began. In three wonderfully (and hilariously!) interconnected tales, YA stars John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson create a must-have collection that captures all the spirit of the holiday season.
But even though it’s cold outside, things are heating up inside, proving that the holiday season is magical when it comes to love. The weather outside is frightful, but these stories are delightful! When a huge blizzard (that doesn’t show signs of stopping) hits, Gracetown is completely snowed in. Genres: Young Adult, Fiction, Contemporary, Romance
