Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle

Let It Snow is a cute book & fun YA way to get into the holiday season. All three stories intertwine a bit, but they are separate stories and all three are not created equal! The book starts with its strongest story- Maureen Johnson's The Jubilee Express. It's silly & engaging & the characters made me smile frequently. The second story is John Green's Cheertastic Christmas Miracle which was also fun & quirky. The final story, The Patron Saint of Pigs by Lauren Myracle was the least engaging of the bunch. The main character is hard to like & it really was a bit of a chore to finish because of her, though all the stories wind up nicely in its final pages.

Still, if you're looking for something easy & fast to read (which I was), this fits the bill & is worth it for the first 2 stories alone.
