Three interconnected Christmas tales to make you laugh and put you in the holiday spirit. Great book to read in a snow storm or on the first nasty day of the season.Story 1: The Jubilee Express
Jubilee is eagerly awaiting the hours until leaving for the Price Family Annual Smorgasbord, hosted by her boyfriend Noah's family and the celebration of their first anniversary. But after her parent's surprise arrest over coveted Christmas decorations and a train trip to Florida during the biggest snowstorm in *FIFTY* years, Jubilee finds herself trapped in an unknown town at midnight on Christmas Eve. She can either stay on a cold stranded train surrounded by cheerleaders or venture out into the snow in hopes of reaching the warmth and solitude of the Waffle House. Can Christmas get any crazier?
Story 2: A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle
A few phone calls change the course of Christmas Eve for Tobin, JP, and the Duke. The first half dozen calls confirm that Tobin's parents are stuck in Boston due to the storm. The next calls are from their friend Keun, the "acting manager" of the Waffle House. The Waffle House that is currently witnessing a cheertastic Christmas miracle = 14 cheerleaders, who are displaced passengers of the immobilized train. Keun urges them to brave the storm and witness the said miracle. Will they be able to make it?
Story 3: The Patron Saint of Pigs
Addie can't stop moping about her break-up with Jed. Her friends think she needs to focus less on herself and more on others and the Christmas spirit. Her one (after) Christmas task: pick up Tegan's gift. Should be easy, right? ...
Why I picked up the book: I was looking for something wintery/Christmas themed for our December teen book club. Our group *LOVES* John Green and I also adore Lauren Myracle so I thought this might be a good one to try. The first snow of the year was being predicted so it seemed like the perfect time.
Why I finished it: Humor, fun, holiday spirit. Who could ask for more?
I'd give it to: Fans of the three writers and/or fans of Sarah Dessen. Readers looking for sweet, fun, laughter, and holiday spirit.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
