And the story is about her learning to change, which is noble.

I understand, I think, what Myracle was trying to go for-Addie was the Noah of her relationship (Noah being the crappy boyfriend from Johnson's story), so we were getting a side of a love story that is of course harder to deal with. I liked how all three stories connected, but in the last one I could not get behind the narrator.

I haven't read any of Maureen Johnson's stuff yet (except for part of The Name of the Star when it was available for free before it came out), but she operates in a similar area to John Green: characters that are a little quirky but are relatable. I am a John Green fan, and his story fit pretty well into his wheelhouse, which was no problem for me because I like the contents of his wheelhouse. I raced through Johnson's and Green's stories, and I think it took me as long to finish Myracle's as it did to finish the other two combined. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, but I have to agree. Since I loved one section, liked another, and didn’t care for one, I will give this book a three out of five stars.So I've read some other reviews of this book, and the ones I read all seem to agree that the last story in this collection is the weakest. However, I did enjoy the book less as I continued reading. Overall, Let it Snow lived up to its purpose: a fluffy book you can read while cuddling under a blanket on the couch with hot chocolate.

The whole point of this section is to see a huge change in Addie, but the change is never really noticeable. Also, out of all the couples, I didn’t see myself rooting for Addie and Jeb because they never seemed compatible. This section revolves around the self-absorbed Addie who cheated on her boyfriend, broke up with him, and complains about how he doesn’t want to get back together with her. While I breezed through the first two sections, I put the book aside during the middle of this section, which I believe is the longest section in the book. The Patron Saint of Pigs, the final section, contained the least interesting story line and least likable characters. The best way to describe these characters is “typical John Green.” This isn’t necessarily bad, but if you aren’t particularly interested in the types of characters he often writes, then this section won’t be your favorite even though the writing is fantastic. Even though I loved Tobin’s voice and the hilarious situations the group faced, I found it difficult to connect with the characters until the last few pages. I wish I could read a whole book just about them!Īfter The Jubilee Express, the story started to go downhill for me.

Out of all three stories, The Jubilee Express stood out as the strongest to me. Maureen Johnson’s funny and easy writing style really connected with me and I missed Jubilee and Stuart when their section finished. The final story, The Patron Saint of Pigs by Lauren Myracle, follows Jeb’s self-absorbed ex-girlfriend who wants to get back together with him. John Green’s Cheertastic Christmas Miracle develops after one of the Waffle House workers calls his buddies to race down to the Waffle House to flirt with the cheerleaders. The train breaks down and Jubilee relocates to a Waffle House with Jeb and a handful of cheerleaders who were also on the train. The Jubilee Express by Maureen Johnson follows Juiblee, who ventures from Virginia during a freak snow storm to spend Christmas with her grandparents in Florida after her parents are arrested. Let it Snow centers on three stories (written by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle) on three different teenagers in Gracetown on Christmas Eve.

Where I review a Young Adult Book on TuesdaysĮven though it’s after Christmas, Let it Snow seemed to be the perfect read since snow is finally falling where I live! I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews for this book, and even though it did not completely live up to its hype, Let it Snow still is a fun read for the winter time.
