Summary:
This book contains three different holiday romances that
are all set in the same town during a major snowstorm. First, Maureen
Johnson’s story details what happens to Jubilee, whose parents just landed in
jail due to a shopping incident involving a Christmas village. She has to take
a train down to Florida to spend Christmas with her grandparents. On her trip
down the train stops for a couple of days due to the snow. The first story
follows her journey as she decides to get off and make friends at the local
Waffle House.
The second story is written by John Green. It shows JP,
Tobin, and Duke’s trek to the Waffle House to hang out with some stranded
cheerleaders. In addition to the bad weather, they encounter some twins and
frat boys who are trying to beat them there!
The third story shows the fallout after Addie messes up
her relationship with Jeb. Her friends Dorrie and Tegan, along with a Christmas
angel, help her realize how to fix it by not being so self-absorbed. All three
of these stories are woven together throughout the book.
Pros:
· It
is a cute, quick holiday read that will leave you feeling filled with joy and
hope.
· The
ending was satisfying as it tied up all the loose ends nicely.
· The
first story was delightful. It was a simple, yet interesting romance.
Cons:
· I
just could not get into the second and third stories in the book.
· In the second story, I was too distracted by
the dangerous decisions that the main characters were making to really enjoy
it.
· The
third story’s main character was just really unlikable to me.
Final
Thoughts:
I would recommend
this if you want a quick and fluffy holiday read. Although I couldn’t get into
some of the plots, I’m sure most people can. I just have a hard time with
suspension of disbelief! Not bad for a book I bought from a thrift store for
$1.
