Let it Snow: Three Holiday Romances

I love Christmas stories. I love watching hokey Christmas movies on TV and I love reading Christmas stories! Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle is a fun collection of 3 interrelated Christmas stories.

As I have said before, I adore John Green. He could write a recipe and I would be dying to read it. So when I saw this book, I had to read it since it combined two of my favorite things: Christmas stories and John Green.

On a very snowy Christmas Eve in Virginia, a train gets stuck in a snow drift. Jubilee is traveling to her grandparents' in Florida, Jeb is trying to get home to his girlfriend and a group of cheerleaders are going to a competition. When the train gets stuck, Jubilee (called Julie) gets off the train and walks to a nearby Waffle House. Jeb and the cheerleaders follow shortly. In the first story, "Jubilee Express," Julie is upset about leaving her "perfect" boyfriend on Christmas, however, at the Waffle House, she meets Stuart who rescues her from cold and cheerleaders as they brave the snow to make it to his house for Christmas. In "A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle," Tobin undertakes an epic journey through the storm to the Waffle House where there are cheerleaders waiting to play Twister. Through a series of adventures, Tobin begins to see his best friend, The Duke, in a different light. Later that night, Tobin and Duke visit the nearby Starbucks where they meet up with Addie in the final story "Patron Saint of Pigs." Self-absorbed Addie who works at Starbucks needs some time to come to terms with the fact that she cheated on her boyfriend Jeb who then stood her up on Christmas Eve. Thus the stories come full circle back to Jeb and the train in one really nice book about romance, hope and Christmas!
