Let it Snow


LET IT SNOW
Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle
Speak

A stranded train, fourteen cheerleaders headed to competition, and a small North Carolina town in the middle of a blizzard... not a good combination. This is the scenery for three different but related Christmas stories. Maureen Johnson begins with the story of Jubilee, a girls who has perfect boyfriend but her Christmas is interrupted by her parents over zealous holiday spirit. With the help a stranger she is able to see that her "perfect" life might only be a silly hope. John Green brings is next with his predictable cheeky humor in “Cheertastic Christmas Miracle.” fourteen cheerleaders stranded at waffle house brings out the best in Green when he tells the story of young boy doing what ever it takes to "rescue" the cheerleaders from a twister-less Christmas. Lauren Myracle wraps things up with “Patron Saint of Pigs” where the main character experiences something "resembling a traditional Christmas miracle." After a major mistake the main character realizes her self-absorbed ways will drive away everyone around her, including the love of her life.

Personal Review
Let is Snow is such a fun story, the short stories all intertwine in a creative an exciting way that keeps you moving through. The Christmas spirit is thick and you'll find yourself wanting to curl up by a fire to finish this Christmas romance.

Warning: There is some language.
