I was trying to get into the Christmas spirit, which is hard in the desert, so I decided to read this book. Ugh. I thought it was pretty horrible. The three stories intertwine in really forced (and dumb, imho) ways, and none of the stories themselves actually wowed me. I'd say the best was probably the one by Maureen Johnson; the worst being John Green's. Overall I'd say this was a failure. ( )

I'm a sucker for romance any time of the year, but something about the holiday season makes me want to curl up in a nice blanket, drink hot chocolate, and read love stories. LET IT SNOW is the perfect holiday read.

Maureen Johnson starts things off with THE JUBILEE EXPRESS, in which Jubliee (no, not a stripper, but named for a piece in her mother's collection of the Flobie Santa Village) finds herself stranded on a train in Gracetown in a huge snowstorm. A trip to the Waffle House introduces her to Stuart and friendship, or maybe something more, starts to form.

In A CHEERTASTIC CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, author John Green hilariously describes the mission of three friends to get to the Waffle House where a group of cheerleaders are stranded and wanting to play Twister.

And Lauren Myracle's THE PATRON SAINT OF PIGS shows that lost love can be found again with the help of Starbucks, angels, and even a pig.

Each story stands well on its own, but it was nice to have a common thread throughout. I loved how the authors found ways to connect all three stories. Characters you meet in the beginning show up later on, and places like Starbucks and the Waffle House are important to all three tales. The only thing I didn't like was that they were all short stories - I could have kept reading about each of the characters!

LET IT SNOW is a great, warm, fuzzy read for the holidays, so grab some hot chocolate and curl up because you won't want to stop reading until you're finished and happily sighing. ( )

This was probably one of the cutest books I’ve ever read. It features three different stories, from three fantastic authors, but in it’s own way- they all seem to intertwine perfectly. A teensy tiny character would be introduced in the first story, and would end up having a big role in the third. It was so easy to see that these three authors really put their heads together to make every piece fit.

The first story, The Jubilee Express, written by Maureen Johnson, is about a girl named Jubilee, who gets whisked away from her usual comfortable Christmas routine, and tries to travel to her grandparent’s house with unexpected trouble along the way. This was my least favorite story out of all of them. It wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but everything just flew by way too fast. Even with the short length, I felt there could’ve been more progress between the characters.

The second story is A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle, written by John Green. It involves three best friends, two guys and a girl, who try to journey through the harsh snow after receiving a call from their friend at The Waffle House, informing them of lonely cheerleaders taking shelter there. This was my favorite out of all three. It was so light-hearted and wonderfully written that I think I was smiling the entire time.

The third story, The Patron Saint Of Pigs is written by Lauren Myracle. Addie must deal with the aftermath of cheating on her boyfriend, while trying to find a way to convince everybody that she’s not self-centered. This was the one that really tied everything together, and it was the perfect tale to end the book.

Overall, it was really good. It definitely lifted my spirits after reading it, and it just puts you in a happy mood. The ending of the book was perfect, and I was sad that there wasn’t another story attached. It’s not heavily Christmas-oriented, it’s really just a time frame that it takes place, so you could really read it at anytime. I most definitely recommend! ( )

Title: Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances Author: John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle Publisher: Speak Number Of Pages: 352

Summary from back of book: Sparkling white snowdrifts... Beautiful presents wrapped in ribbons, and multicolored lights glittering in the night through the falling snow. A Christmas Eve snowstorm transforms one small town into a romantic haven, the kind you only see in movies. Well, kinda. After all, a cold and wet hike from a stranded train through the middle would not normally end with a delicious kiss with a charming stranger. And no one would think a trip to the Waffle House through four feet of snow would lead to love with an old friend. Or that the way back to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks. Thanks to the three of today's best-selling teen authors- John Green,Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle- the magic of the holidays shines on these hilarious and charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and breathtaking kisses.

Review: Let It Snow is a three different romances. Maureen Johnson's The Jubilee Express is really funny. John Green's A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle is good but, not my favorite. Lauren Myracle's The Patron Saint Of Pigs is sad at first but gets really good. In all this book was really great! It only took me a couple of hours to read though.

I recommend this book if you like romance, the holidays, and young adult novels. ( )

Severely cute fluff, but also darn funny. I liked each story equally actually, and almost cheered when the three stories came together at the end. Do I feel silly admitting this? Nope, you hear some many depressing things at Christmas time, it's just nice to sit down with your hot chocolate and read something like "Let it Snow" and let the hot chocolate, and the book, warm you up.
