Like the title says, Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle is a book that contains three holiday romances.
What the cover doesn't say is; these three stories are interconnected, in their own odd way. From a cheer squad doing hand stands, to purple chairs being more than just chairs at Starbucks, to falling into icy creeks involuntarily.
The book starts off with a story by Maureen Johnson, my personal favourite. It follows the tale of Jubilee (yes, that's her actual name), as she deals with her delinquent parents (Spoiler: They get arrested. Wait till you see why) and her beyond perfect boyfriend Noah, before Christmas arrives.
However, things don't go the way she expected. (Of course.)
The worst blizzard of all times is set to hit, that very night. It plays the role of The Ring, really.
It's this very blizzard that brings in the characters from the next story, as well as the last one. Pay close attention to each character mentioned, because trust me, these authors have painstakingly put great attention to detail.
Following Jubilee's story, comes John Green's. To be honest, I thought I'd love the John Green short story but it didn't really appeal to me. Not that it isn't worth the read, it definitely is. His characters are; as usual, amazing.
It follows a trio who race against time (and twins) to make it to a Waffle House (akin to a 24 hour cafe), for Hash Browns, Cheerleaders and Twister. Not necessarily in that order.
John Green wraps it all up quite nicely, leading us into our final lap, a story by Lauren Myracle. I didn't quite like the main character at first, considering she was incredibly self-absorbed, wrapped up in her own crisis that constantly seemed to vary depending on the situation, and paid little to no attention to her friend's needs.
Until I realised my teenage self identified with her.
HOWEVER, she begins to see how this is affecting the people around her, and attempts to redeem herself. The end of the book, ties itself together perfectly, much like a little bow atop a Christmas present, which is exactly what this book feels like.
So cuddle up and grab a mug of Hot Chocolate to keep you company while you read this book. The warm feeling you get at the end of it? Totally worth it.

"One Blizzard to rule them all, One Blizzard to find them,
One Blizzard to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."
