She wants the big gestures in a relationship, just like in the movies, and who would not? But she realizes that what she has is more than enough. Though she seems to be caught up in her own world most of the time, she still cares about her loved ones. So, it is important to note how much depth a book holds and how words come in a timely fashion.įrom all of the characters in the book, I connected to Addie the most.
I constantly need them to prove to me by words of affirmations that the connection is there. When I was reading this quote, I thought about how it is hard for me to trust people. It reminds you that there is another person out there who is thinking the same thoughts and it binds you to a complete stranger. I find it funny how books have a timely way of matching up with your own personal life. “‘Can’t you just trust in our love, without asking me to prove it every single second?’” (Myracle). One of my favorite quotes from the book comes from Lauren Myracle’s story. I was able to hear their unique voice as they varied in humor and how they presented their characters and plot points. Moreover, I picked up on the different writing styles of the three young adult authors. Though you do see the characters from the previous stories appear in the next story, it is done ever so lightly until the very end when they all meet up. Their collective story lines intertwine in a graceful way however each story could stand alone. Let It Snow centers around a group of characters that are quite the interesting bunch. Let It Snow reminds you of the importance of relationships whether it is the strong bond between you and your closest friends or realizing that you have fallen for your best friend. Love was in the air and the comradery of friendship was always close by. Even though it is not Christmas anymore, it still brings the feelings of the holidays. It was a different setup and had a refreshing format than what I am used to.
Prior to reading this book, I have never read one where each author wrote a mini story and intertwined it with the others. Thanks to three of today’s bestselling 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.Įven though it is no longer the holiday season, I could not help but slip in a Christmas-themed read this month. Or that the way back to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks. And no one would think that a trip to the Waffle House through four feet of snow would lead to love with an old friend. After all, a cold and wet hike from a stranded train through the middle of nowhere would not normally end with a delicious kiss from a charming stranger. A Christmas Eve snowstorm transforms one small town into a romantic haven, the kind you see only in movies. Sparkling white snowdrifts, beautiful presents wrapped in ribbons, and multicolored lights glittering in the night through the falling snow.
